Read current value of switchpreference

I am using a switch statement to check the origin of the preference.

public class SettingsActivity extends PreferenceActivity {

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

// Display the fragment as the main content.
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
        .replace(android.R.id.content, new SettingsFragment())
        .commit();
PreferenceManager.setDefaultValues(this, R.xml.preferences, false);

getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(android.R.id.content,
        new SettingsFragment()).commit();
}

public static class SettingsFragment extends PreferenceFragment implements SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
}

public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences, String key) {
    Preference pref = findPreference(key);
    switch(key) {
        case "key_video_quality":
            Log.i("Tag1", "Video quality button pressed");
            break;
        case "key_video_length":
            Log.i("Tag2", "Video length button pressed");
            break;
        case "key_auto_save":
            Log.i("Tag3", "Auto save button pressed");
            break;
        case "key_dark_mode":
            Log.i("Tag4", "Dark mode button pressed");
            break;
        }
    }
}

key_auto_save is never triggered, and key_dark_mode is, they are both SwitchPreferences.

Is there a method to check the current value of switch preference when it is pressed so i can decide to switch on/off a dark theme for my application? As i am using it as a general Preference i don't think isChecked() applies here.

Also, i'm unsure on the key_auto_save problem, the key is correct.

in my onSharedPreferenceChanged method, in case "key_dark_mode": i used sharedPreferences.getBoolean(key, false); to return if my switchPreference was true or false.

Are you registering the listener onResume?

getPreferenceManager().getSharedPreferences().registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);

It is hard to judge without seeing more code, for example are you extending PreferenceActivity?
