copied!<p>I cannot find any tutorials on checkbox preference. I can use a listpreference, but I can't use checkbox preference. For now, I want that if user sets on the checbox, a toast msg says "true" and if he sets it off, the toast msg says "false". So far I have this:</p> <p>preferences.xml:</p> <pre><code> <CheckBoxPreference android:title="Show Call UI" android:defaultValue="true" android:summary="Show Call Interface when clicking call button" android:key="checkboxPref" /> </code></pre> <p>EditPreferences.java:</p> <pre><code>public class EditPreferences extends PreferenceActivity { String listPreference; boolean checkboxPreference; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences); } public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) { getPrefs(); } private void getPrefs() { SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager .getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext()); listPreference = prefs.getString("listPref", "nr1"); checkboxPreference = prefs.getBoolean("checkboxPref", true); } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Edit: Solution thanks to David Caunt:</strong></p> <pre><code>checkboxPreference. setOnPreferenceChangeListener(new Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener() { public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object newValue) { if (newValue.toString().equals("true")) { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "CB: " + "true", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } else { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "CB: " + "false", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } return true; } }); </code></pre>
