How do I retrieve a ListPreference inside my PreferenceScreen?
I have tried with the following, and they both throws null exception.
findPreference(key) getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(key)
private void loadLayout(int appWidgetId) {
SharedPreferences.Editor shared_config = prefs.edit();
Layout layout = db_adapter.fetchLayout(appWidgetId);
...
ListPreference widget_text_color = (ListPreference) findPreference("widget_text_color");
widget_text_color.setValue(String.valueOf(layout.getTextColor()));
...
shared_config.commit();
}
<PreferenceScreen
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
...
<PreferenceCategory android:title="Layout/Output">
...
<ListPreference
android:key="widget_text_color"
android:title="Text color"
android:summary="Choose text color"
android:entries="@array/colors"
android:entryValues="@array/colors_rgb"
android:dialogTitle="Choose a color" />
...
</PreferenceCategory>
