How to create a Listener to Preferences changes in Preferences activity?

I have Preferences activity in my app that has ListPreference so the user can choose language for the app.

The app displays the new language just after the user close the Preferences activity.

I want to create a listener to the ListPreference so the app will restart when the Listener is triggers (just after the user choose a language/choose item from the ListPreference).

How can I do that?

SettingsActivity:

public class SettingsActivity extends AppCompatPreferenceActivity {
/**
 * A preference value change listener that updates the preference's summary
 * to reflect its new value.
 */
private static Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener = new Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object value) {
        String stringValue = value.toString();

        if (preference instanceof ListPreference) {
            // For list preferences, look up the correct display value in
            // the preference's 'entries' list.
            ListPreference listPreference = (ListPreference) preference;
            int index = listPreference.findIndexOfValue(stringValue);

            // Set the summary to reflect the new value.
            preference.setSummary(
                    index >= 0
                            ? listPreference.getEntries()[index]
                            : null);

        } else {
            // For all other preferences, set the summary to the value's
            // simple string representation.
            preference.setSummary(stringValue);
        }
        return true;
    }
};


/**
 * Binds a preference's summary to its value. More specifically, when the
 * preference's value is changed, its summary (line of text below the
 * preference title) is updated to reflect the value. The summary is also
 * immediately updated upon calling this method. The exact display format is
 * dependent on the type of preference.
 *
 * @see #sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener
 */
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(), ""));
}

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setupActionBar();
    setTitle(R.string.action_settings);
}

/**
 * Set up the {@link android.app.ActionBar}, if the API is available.
 */
private void setupActionBar() {
    ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    if (actionBar != null) {
        // Show the Up button in the action bar.
        actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    }
}

@Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
    int id = item.getItemId();
    if (id == android.R.id.home) {
        if (!super.onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item)) {
            NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this);
        }
        return true;
    }
    return super.onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item);
}

/**

protected boolean isValidFragment(String fragmentName) {
    return PreferenceFragment.class.getName().equals(fragmentName)
            || GeneralPreferenceFragment.class.getName().equals(fragmentName);
}

        setHasOptionsMenu(true);

        // Bind the summaries of EditText/List/Dialog/Ringtone preferences
        // to their values. When their values change, their summaries are

        bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(findPreference("example_text"));
        bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(findPreference(getString(R.string.language_shared_pref_key)));
    }

    @Override

            startActivity(intent);
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

}

pref_general.xml:

<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<ListPreference
    android:defaultValue="@string/language_code"
    android:entries="@array/pref_languages_list_titles"
    android:entryValues="@array/pref_languages_list_values"
    android:key="@string/language_shared_pref_key"
    android:negativeButtonText="@null"
    android:positiveButtonText="@null"
    android:title="@string/pref_title_language" />

</PreferenceScreen>

Thank you!!!

Here is some real quick sample code for a shared prefs chaneg listener I have set-up in one of my projects; it's located in the onCreate of a Service but obviously can detect changes to my shared prefs that originate from anywhere in my app.

private SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener listener;


//Loads Shared preferences
prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);

//Setup a shared preference listener for hpwAddress and restart transport
listener = new SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener() {
            public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences prefs, String key) {
           if (key.equals(/*key for shared pref you're listening for*/) {
               //Do stuff; restart activity in your case
            }
        };

prefs.registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(listener);
