Getting value from edittext preference in preference screen
android, android-activity, dialog, edittextpreference, preferencescreen
Solution
Try this:
PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this).getString("name", null);
Where `this` is a `Context` like an `Activity`. `name` is the `key` defined in your xml file.
Problem
I'm new to android development. I just heard about preference screen in android. So I just made one. This is just to enter name in a dialog. ``` <PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <EditTextPreference android:title="Name" android:summary="To enter name click on Name" android:dialogTitle="Name Dialog" android:dialogMessage="Enter Your Name" android:key="name"/> ``` This is my created preference screen. I just need to know how can I access the entered name 'tony' in my mainactivity. I don't know the way to access the name from the dialog. Do I need to add any seperate activity for accessing the name in the name dialog. Can someone please explain it to me.
