        hostPreference.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(new OnPreferenceChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object newValue) {
                EditTextPreference etp = (EditTextPreference) preference;

                String newHostValue = newValue.toString();
                Log.i(MY_DEBUG_TAG, "New Host: "+newHostValue);
                etp.setText(newHostValue);
                return true;
            }
        });
        return root;
    }

}

Answer 1

I think you're confusing setText with setTitle...

Answer 2

Text is not seen in EditTextPreference, but can be edited.

What is seen is TITLE, and it is set by setTitle.

If you want to display your edited text in title, you must set it as title yourself.
