我解决了这个问题与以下后代的ListPreference:

public class EnumPreference extends ListPreference {

    public EnumPreference(Context aContext, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(aContext,attrs);
    }

    @Override
    protected View onCreateView(ViewGroup parent) {
        setSummary(getEntry());
        return super.onCreateView(parent);
    }

    @Override
    protected boolean persistString(String aNewValue) {
        if (super.persistString(aNewValue)) {
            setSummary(getEntry());
            notifyChanged();
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
}

从1.6到4.0.4，我似乎工作得很好。

如果你正在使用AndroidX，你可以使用一个自定义的SummaryProvider。此方法可用于任何首选项。

来自文档的例子(Java):

EditTextPreference countingPreference = (EditTextPreference) findPreference("counting");

countingPreference.setSummaryProvider(new SummaryProvider<EditTextPreference>() {
    @Override
    public CharSequence provideSummary(EditTextPreference preference) {
        String text = preference.getText();
        if (TextUtils.isEmpty(text)){
            return "Not set";
        }
        return "Length of saved value: " + text.length();
    }
});

来自文档的例子(Kotlin):

val countingPreference = findPreference("counting") as EditTextPreference

countingPreference.summaryProvider = SummaryProvider<EditTextPreference> { preference ->
    val text = preference.text
    if (TextUtils.isEmpty(text)) {
        "Not set"
    } else {
        "Length of saved value: " + text.length
    }
}

如果有人还在寻找这个问题的答案，你应该看看三十三四十的答案。

<ListPreference
    android:key="pref_list"
    android:title="A list of preferences"
    android:summary="%s"
    android:entries="@array/pref_list_entries"
    android:entryValues="@array/pref_list_entries_values"
    android:defaultValue="0" />

Android会将%s替换为首选项的当前字符串值，就像ListPreference的选择器显示的那样。

public class ProfileManagement extends PreferenceActivity implements
OnPreferenceChangeListener {
    EditTextPreference screenName;
    ListPreference sex;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            addPreferencesFromResource(R.layout.profile_management);

            screenName = (EditTextPreference) findPreference("editTextPref");
            sex = (ListPreference) findPreference("sexSelector");

            screenName.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(this);
            sex.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(this);

    }   

    @Override
    public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object newValue) {
        preference.setSummary(newValue.toString());
        return true;
    }
}

在Android Studio中，打开“root_preferences.xml”，选择设计模式。选择所需的EditTextPreference首选项，在“所有属性”下，寻找“useSimpleSummaryProvider”属性，并将其设置为true。然后它将显示当前值。

由于在androidx首选项类有SummaryProvider接口，它可以在没有OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener的情况下完成。为EditTextPreference和ListPreference提供了简单的实现。根据EddieB的答案，它看起来像这样。在androidx.preference上测试:preference:1.1.0-alpha03。
