I am trying to develop a live wallpaper which displays live scorecards using the android.service.wallpaper.WallpaperService. I planning to have a list preference for the wallpaper, which will the give the user an option to choose the match that he wishes to follow. I followed this http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidLiveWallpaper/article.html When I launch the settings, i am able to see the preference. but the preference dialogue doesn't close when I choose one and the same is not getting reflected in the wall paper. I checked the LogCat. No exceptions are thrown.
Android version: 4.1
