How to set multiple default values in a MultiSelectListPreference?
android, preferences, sharedpreferences
Solution
To make all `MultiSelectListPreference` items selected (on) by default, then include the attribute `defaultsValue` for the Preference, e.g.
android:defaultValue="@array/stores"
If it's not working, then make sure that you `clear` the application data as this will only take effect the first time the application is run.
Problem
I have preference.xml like this ``` <MultiSelectListPreference android:key="store_select" android:title="@string/setting_store_title" android:summary="@string/setting_store_summary" android:dialogTitle="@string/setting_store_dialog_title" android:entries="@array/store_names" android:entryValues="@array/stores" android:defaultValue="@array/stores" /> ``` with my two arrays: ``` <string-array name="stores"> <item>1</item> <item>2</item> <item>3</item> <item>4</item> <item>5</item> </string-array> <string-array name="store_names"> <item>foodbasics</item> <item>nofrills</item> <item>metro</item> <item>loblaws</item> <item>sobeys</item> </string-array> ``` I want the default behaviour to be all of the options selected, but currently nothing is selected by default. Am I doing something wrong?
