I'm following the example method to add a compatible preference/ fragment dialog found here. When doing so, I have found that if I have preferences that are Integers, Boolean, etc, it just crashes.
private static void bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(Preference preference) {
// Set the listener to watch for value changes.
preference
.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener);
// Trigger the listener immediately with the preference's
// current value.
sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener.onPreferenceChange(
preference,
PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(
preference.getContext()).getString(preference.getKey(),""));
}
I found that I can make this work for an Integer by changing the getString()
to getInteger()
, and using a different bindPreferenceSummaryToValue function depending on what the type is. Of course, this seems like a really inelegant solution, but I'm struggling to figure out what else I can do. Here's the stack trace, BTW.
