SharedPreferences.onSharedPreferenceChangeListener not being called consistently
- by synic
I'm registering a preference change listener like this (in the onCreate() of my main activity):
SharedPreferences prefs =
PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
prefs.registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(
new SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener() {
public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(
SharedPreferences prefs, String key) {
System.out.println(key);
}
});
The trouble is, the listener is not always called. It works for the first few times a preference is changed, and then it is no longer called until I uninstall and reinstall the app. No amount of restarting the application seems to fix it.
I found a mailing list thread reporting the same problem, but no one really answered him. What am I doing wrong?
