copied!<p>Well, there are some problems in your code. This <a href="http://www.kaloer.com/android-preferences" rel="nofollow">tutorial</a> is good for creating preferences. Also, if you want to change the preferences outside the <code>PreferenceActivity</code> you should use the Editor For example:</p> <pre><code>Editor e = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext()).edit(); e.putBoolean(Preferences."PREF_SMS_ON", true); e.commit(); </code></pre> <p>I hope it helps</p> <h2>The reply to your comment</h2> <p>well, the thing is that you are using <code>PreferenceActivity</code>, which as the documentation show in <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/preference/PreferenceActivity.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> it is used for showing a visual style of the preferences. Also, as it is indicated <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/preference/PreferenceActivity.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>, "the preferences will automatically save to <code>SharedPreferences</code> as the user interacts with them". It gave me the impression that you wanted to change preferences outside the <code>PreferenceActivity</code> (which is not wrong), but you say thats not what you are wanting to do. </p> <p>However, I do notice that your <code>PreferenceActivity</code> is not loading the preferences from your resource file, for that you need to add <code>addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.settings);</code> in your <code>onCreate</code>, for example. But, like I said, your preferences will only change automatically if the user interacts with this activity directly. I hope that helps.</p>
