PreferenceActivity: save value as integer

Question

Using a simple EditTextPreference in my preferences activity:

Answer 1

I had the same Problem. (I wanted SharedPreference to give me a port number that i stored in a preferences xml file as defaultValue).

Implementing all the SharedPreferences methods would be much effort, so writing a custom method in the class that instanced the SharedPreferences, as broot suggested would be best i think.

You can aswell just use the Static method of Integer in the line where you need it:

int number = Integer.valueOf(settings.getString("myNumberString", "0"));
