I can't understand from the Preferences and ListPreference documents whether the defaultValue attribute in preferences.xml should be the text choice displayed in the list, the Integer corresponding to that choice, or the index of the choice. It also seems like best practice to pick up the default value from the keys in arrays.xml rather than put in a literal string. Can someone spell out how it should work?
Here's my arrays.xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string-array name="tempUnitsNames"><item>Celsius</item> <item>Fahrenheit</item> </string-array> <integer-array name="tempUnitsInts"><item>1</item> <item>2</item> </integer-array> </resources> Here's the relevant section of preferences.xml without a defaultValue set. <ListPreference android:entryValues="@array/tempUnitsInts" android:entries="@array/tempUnitsNames" android:title="Units" android:key="TempUnits" android:summary="Temperature Units" android:persistent="true"></ListPreference> Suppose I want the default choice to be Fahrenheit. What should be the value of defaultValue? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group. NEW!
