Here,all these are cut from Eclipse sample SettingsActivity.
I have to copy all these too much codes to show how these android developers choose perfectly for more generalized and stable coding style.
I left the codes for adapting the PreferenceActivity to tablet and greater API.
public class SettingsActivity extends PreferenceActivity {
@Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
setupSummaryUpdatablePreferencesScreen();
}
private void setupSummaryUpdatablePreferencesScreen() {
// In the simplified UI, fragments are not used at all and we instead
// use the older PreferenceActivity APIs.
// Add 'general' preferences.
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.pref_general);
// Bind the summaries of EditText/List/Dialog preferences to
// their values. When their values change, their summaries are updated
// to reflect the new value, per the Android Design guidelines.
bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(findPreference("example_text"));
bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(findPreference("example_list"));
}
/**
* A preference value change listener that updates the preference's summary
* to reflect its new value.
*/
private static Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener = new Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener() {
private String TAG = SettingsActivity.class.getSimpleName();
@Override
public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object value) {
String stringValue = value.toString();
if (preference instanceof ListPreference) {
// For list preferences, look up the correct display value in
// the preference's 'entries' list.
ListPreference listPreference = (ListPreference) preference;
int index = listPreference.findIndexOfValue(stringValue);
// Set the summary to reflect the new value.
preference.setSummary(
index >= 0
? listPreference.getEntries()[index]
: null);
} else {
// For all other preferences, set the summary to the value's
// simple string representation.
preference.setSummary(stringValue);
}
Log.i(TAG, "pref changed : " + preference.getKey() + " " + value);
return true;
}
};
/**
* Binds a preference's summary to its value. More specifically, when the
* preference's value is changed, its summary (line of text below the
* preference title) is updated to reflect the value. The summary is also
* immediately updated upon calling this method. The exact display format is
* dependent on the type of preference.
*
* @see #sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener
*/
private static void bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(Preference preference) {
// Set the listener to watch for value changes.
preference.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener);
// Trigger the listener immediately with the preference's
// current value.
sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener.onPreferenceChange(preference,
PreferenceManager
.getDefaultSharedPreferences(preference.getContext())
.getString(preference.getKey(), ""));
}

NOTE: Actually I just want to comment like "Google's sample for PreferenceActivity is also interesting". But I haven't enough reputation points.So please don't blame me.
