you might get lucky via http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener.html as I believe this is called when the preference is first rendered.
And then you can poke the individual preference like so public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences, String key) { Preference pref = findPreference(key); if (pref instanceof ListPreference) { ListPreference listPref = (ListPreference) pref; pref.setSummary(listPref.getEntry()); String pT = (String) pref.getTitle(); ... Alternatively, if you only have a few preferences, you should be able to address them via their key directly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
