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
    }
}

如果你使用PreferenceFragment，这就是我解决它的方法。这是不言而喻的。

public static class SettingsFragment extends PreferenceFragment implements OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.settings);
      getPreferenceScreen().getSharedPreferences().registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
      super.onResume();
      for (int i = 0; i < getPreferenceScreen().getPreferenceCount(); ++i) {
        Preference preference = getPreferenceScreen().getPreference(i);
        if (preference instanceof PreferenceGroup) {
          PreferenceGroup preferenceGroup = (PreferenceGroup) preference;
          for (int j = 0; j < preferenceGroup.getPreferenceCount(); ++j) {
            Preference singlePref = preferenceGroup.getPreference(j);
            updatePreference(singlePref, singlePref.getKey());
          }
        } else {
          updatePreference(preference, preference.getKey());
        }
      }
    }

    @Override
    public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences, String key) {
      updatePreference(findPreference(key), key);
    }

    private void updatePreference(Preference preference, String key) {
      if (preference == null) return;
      if (preference instanceof ListPreference) {
        ListPreference listPreference = (ListPreference) preference;
        listPreference.setSummary(listPreference.getEntry());
        return;
      }
      SharedPreferences sharedPrefs = getPreferenceManager().getSharedPreferences();
      preference.setSummary(sharedPrefs.getString(key, "Default"));
    }
  }

Here,all these are cut from Eclipse sample SettingsActivity. I have to copy all these too much codes to show how these android developers choose perfectly for more generalized and stable coding style. I left the codes for adapting the PreferenceActivity to tablet and greater API. public class SettingsActivity extends PreferenceActivity { @Override protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState); setupSummaryUpdatablePreferencesScreen(); } private void setupSummaryUpdatablePreferencesScreen() { // In the simplified UI, fragments are not used at all and we instead // use the older PreferenceActivity APIs. // Add 'general' preferences. addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.pref_general); // Bind the summaries of EditText/List/Dialog preferences to // their values. When their values change, their summaries are updated // to reflect the new value, per the Android Design guidelines. bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(findPreference("example_text")); bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(findPreference("example_list")); } /** * A preference value change listener that updates the preference's summary * to reflect its new value. */ private static Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener = new Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener() { private String TAG = SettingsActivity.class.getSimpleName(); @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); } Log.i(TAG, "pref changed : " + preference.getKey() + " " + value); 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(), "")); } } xml/pref_general.xml <PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <!-- NOTE: EditTextPreference accepts EditText attributes. --> <!-- NOTE: EditTextPreference's summary should be set to its value by the activity code. --> <EditTextPreference android:capitalize="words" android:defaultValue="@string/pref_default_display_name" android:inputType="textCapWords" android:key="example_text" android:maxLines="1" android:selectAllOnFocus="true" android:singleLine="true" android:title="@string/pref_title_display_name" /> <!-- NOTE: Hide buttons to simplify the UI.

But I haven't enough reputation points.So please don't blame me. (Sorry for bad English)

因为我使用了一个自定义PreferenceDataStore，我不能添加一个监听器到一些SharedPreference，所以我不得不写一个有点hack的解决方案，监听每个偏好:

class SettingsFragment : PreferenceFragmentCompat(), Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener {
    private val handler: Handler by lazy { Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()) }

    override fun onCreatePreferences(savedInstanceState: Bundle?, rootKey: String?) {
        preferenceManager.preferenceDataStore = prefs
        addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.app_preferences)
        onPreferenceChange(preferenceScreen, null)
    }

    override fun onPreferenceChange(preference: Preference, newValue: Any?): Boolean {
        preference.onPreferenceChangeListener = this

        when (preference) {
            is PreferenceGroup -> for (i in 0 until preference.preferenceCount) {
                onPreferenceChange(preference.getPreference(i), null)
            }
            is ListPreference -> {
                if (preference.value == null) {
                    preference.isPersistent = false
                    preference.value = Preference::class.java.getDeclaredField("mDefaultValue")
                            .apply { isAccessible = true }
                            .get(preference).toString()
                    preference.isPersistent = true
                }

                postPreferenceUpdate(Runnable { preference.summary = preference.entry })
            }
        }
        return true
    }

    /**
     * We can't directly update the preference summary update because [onPreferenceChange]'s result
     * is used to decide whether or not to update the pref value.
     */
    private fun postPreferenceUpdate(r: Runnable) = handler.post(r)
}

下面是一个基于@tdeveaux答案的PreferenceFragment内所有EditTextPreferences的工作解决方案:

public class SettingsFragment extends PreferenceFragment implements SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener {
    private static final String TAG = "SettingsFragment";

    @Override
    public void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
        getPreferenceScreen().getSharedPreferences().registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume () {
        super.onResume();

        for (int i = 0; i < getPreferenceScreen().getPreferenceCount(); ++i) {
            Preference preference = getPreferenceScreen().getPreference(i);
            updatePreference(preference);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onSharedPreferenceChanged (SharedPreferences sharedPreferences, String key) {
        updatePreference(findPreference(key));
    }

    private void updatePreference (Preference preference) {
        if (preference instanceof EditTextPreference) {
            EditTextPreference editTextPreference = (EditTextPreference)preference;
            editTextPreference.setSummary(editTextPreference.getText());
        }
    }
}

简洁的解决方案只需一行代码:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);

    bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(findPreference("mySetting"));

    // initialize summary
    sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener.onPreferenceChange(findPreference("mySetting"), 
        ((ListPreference) findPreference("mySetting")).getEntry());
}
