Change the summary of a ListPreference with the new value (Android)

Question

How can I modify the summary of a ListPreference to the new \"Entry\" string selected by the user (not the entry value)

I suppouse its with setOnPreferenceChangeList

Answer 1

This is the most simplified way I have implemented. Just take the values given by the onPreferenceChange listener

    ListPreference preference;        
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    preference = (ListPreference)findPreference("myKey");
    preference.setSummary(preferenceColorButtons.getEntry());
    preference.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(new        OnPreferenceChangeListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object newValue) {
            ListPreference listPreference = (ListPreference)preference;
            int id = 0;
            for (int i = 0; i < listPreference.getEntryValues().length; i++)
            {
                if(listPreference.getEntryValues()[i].equals(newValue.toString())){
                    id = i;
                    break;
                }
            }
            preference.setSummary(listPreference.getEntries()[id]);
            return true;
        }
    });

}
