Re: [android-developers] OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener never receives callback
No effect. I'm registering the listener in onCreate of my activity, not sure if that has any implications. I've also been assuming this should fire when prefs are either changed via a pref activity and/or when a commit is called from a shared pref editor? -Stace On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 4:28 PM, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.comwrote: On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 4:25 PM, Connick oconn...@gmail.com wrote: I'm trying to listen for preference changes from an activity (see below).

Re: [android-developers] OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener never receives callback
Interesting, it only works if used within an activity that extends PreferenceActivity. Crap. On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 4:40 PM, Connick oconn...@gmail.com wrote: No effect.
