Display text from an EditTextPreference in the app?


I have created a setting in the Settings menu that allows a user to enter their name. What I need to know now, is how to display that name. I have pretty much everything done except displaying the name to the right of the nameLabel. Any help is greatly appreciated.

<!-- The bill amount -->

<TextView

Solution

  • You can read the value of name from EditTextPreference element like below

    String username = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this).getString("pref_name", "No name");
    

    And then display it in the TextView like this

    nameTextView.setText(username);
