How to detect if changes were made in the preferences?

I have a class that extends PreferenceActivity and shows the preference screen of my app. Is it possible to check if any changes were made to the preferences?

This helps...

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener.html

public class PreferenceClass extends PreferenceActivity {


OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener listener;


public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
SharedPreferences prefs = this.getSharedPreferences("settings", 0);
listener = new SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener() {


public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences prefs, String key) {
int flag = 1;
}
};
prefs.registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(listener);
super.onCreate(null);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.settings);
}
}

SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener spChanged = new
SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences,
String key) {
// your stuff here
}
};

In your PreferenceActivity, ie make it a member of your PreferenceActivity class and then do registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(spChanged) in the PreferenceActivity.onCreate() method.

That's what I do and I never have a problem.

Else it's your conditional checking in the listener that is at fault. Post the code.

EDIT:

From the code you posted, you should make prefs a class member variable so it has a global scope.

And do prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext()); instead of getSharedPreferences because you haven't created that file.

To create a file you need to use PreferenceManager. To get a PreferenceManager, use Activity.getPreferenceManager().

public class MyPreferences extends PreferenceActivity implements SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.fw_preferences); //deprecated PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this).registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this); } @Override public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences, String key) { // handle the preference change here } }
