How to get an Android ListPreference defined in Xml whose values are integers?

Question

Is it possible to define a ListPreference in Xml and retrieve the value from SharedPreferences using getInt? Here is my Xml:

Answer 1

I did this in a little more extreme way.

I used the ListPreference and made my entryValues array contain Strings that I can convert to integer with Integer.parseInt().

Then in my PreferencesActivity, I setup a OnPreferenceChangeListener for this preference, and in the onPreferenceChange() method I set a different preference to the integer version - this second one is the one I actually use in my code. The first is there just for the user option.

This way I don't have to convert a String to int each time I need to look at it, I just do it when the user sets it. Perhaps overkill, but it does work :)
