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

Referring to the accepted answer ( @Michael ), if you modify the MyListPreference to add an onPreferenceChangeListener:

public MyListPreference(final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    setOnPreferenceChangeListener(this);
}

and have the listener implementation return true:

public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object newValue) {
    // Do other stuff as needed, e.g. setTitle()
    return true;
}

the summary '%s' always resolves to the latest setting. Otherwise, it always has the default setting.

Don't forget to add implements:

public class MyListPreference extends ListPreference implements Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener
