Make sure you add android:presistent=true to your PreferenceScreen element in your preferences xml file. Thanks, Eric On Jan 23, 8:17 am, A T somecs...@gmail.com wrote: Hmm.

[android-developers] Re: Preferences not saved *sometimes*
Then again it doesn't make sense that the prefs remain persistent on my phone and presumably a lot of other people's phones, otherwise I would be getting more reports of this bug...

I don't think that's a problem, I'm doing the same. On Jan 23, 9:17 am, A T somecs...@gmail.com wrote: Hmm.

Can you save the preferences at the point when they change instead of on exit?
