PreferenceActivity Settings not Saved

Question

EDIT: I tried this new code but it still seems they are reset. Can anyone tell me, and propose a solution to my settings being reset?

public class UserSettingActivity extends PreferenceActivity implements OnPreferenceChangeListener{

    static SwitchPreference mucus_stamps;
    static SwitchPreference fertile_infertil;
    static SwitchPreference cervical_mucus;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }

    /**
     * Populate the activity with the top-level headers.
     */
    @Override
    public void onBuildHeaders(List<Header> target) {
        Log.i("PROJECTCARUSO","onBuildHeaders");
        loadHeadersFromResource(R.xml.preference_headers, target);

    }

    /**
     * This fragment shows the preferences for the first header.
     */
    public static class Prefs1Fragment extends PreferenceFragment {
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

            // Load the preferences from an XML resource
            addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.notification_settings);
        }
    }

    /**
     * This fragment shows the preferences for the second header.
     */
    public static class Prefs2Fragment extends PreferenceFragment {
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

            // Load the preferences from an XML resource
            addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.charting_settings);

            //findPreference("cervical_mucus").setOnPreferenceChangeListener(
                    mucus_stamps = (SwitchPreference) findPreference("mucus_stamps");
                    fertile_infertil = (SwitchPreference) findPreference("fertile_infertil"); 
                    cervical_mucus = (SwitchPreference) findPreference("cervical_mucus"); 

                    cervical_mucus.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(
                              new OnPreferenceChangeListener() {

                                     public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object newValue) {

                                         // string test w/o "==" usage.
                                         if (newValue.equals(false)) {
                                             Log.i("PROJECTCARUSO","false");
                                             mucus_stamps.setChecked(false);
                                             fertile_infertil.setChecked(false);

                                         }

                                         // true instead of false so the new value gets kept

                         }
        }

Answer 1

Depending on what you want.

The value is saved(tested), but "selectable" is not a preference value. Therefore you have to set it when the preferencescreen is launched.

Do this: Before your oncreate:

  SwitchPreference mucus_stamps;

Then above your findPreference("mucus_stamps")

  mucu_stamps = (SwitchPreference) findPreference("mucus_stamps");

Now, outside the onclicklistener, you can set it.

if(!mucus_stamps.isChecked()){
             mucus_stamps.setSelectable(false);
             mucus_stamps.setEnabled(false);
         }

(I added "setEnablet" to show you that you can disable it aswell, not just make it "non-selectable". Selectable only says that you can't click anything outside the "off/on" area to change it to on/off.)

Personally I prefer to do it like this:

    mucus_stamps = (SwitchPreference) findPreference("mucus_stamps");
    mucus_stamps.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(
              new OnPreferenceChangeListener() {

                     @Override
                     public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object newValue) {

                         //SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getActivity());




                         // string test w/o "==" usage.
                         if (newValue.equals(false)) {
                             mucus_stamps.setChecked(false);

                             mucus_stamps.setSelectable(false);
                         } else {
                             mucus_stamps.setChecked(true);
                         }

                         // true instead of false so the new value gets kept
                         return true;
                     };
              });


      if(!mucus_stamps.isChecked()){
             mucus_stamps.setSelectable(false);
             mucus_stamps.setEnabled(false);
         }

And, you don't need to implement OnPreferenceChangeListener when you do it the way you or I do. Not that it really matters.
