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());
        }
    }
}

在我花了几个小时来解决这样的问题后，我实现了以下代码:

[更新:最终版本列表]

public class MyPreferencesActivity extends PreferenceActivity {
    ...
    ListPreference m_updateList;
    ...
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);

        m_updateList = (ListPreference) findPreference(getString(R.string.pref_update_interval_key));
        String currentValue = m_updateList.getValue();
        if (currentValue == null) {
            m_updateList.setValue((String)m_updateList.getEntryValues()[DEFAULT_UPDATE_TIME_INDEX]);
            currentValue = m_updateList.getValue();
        }
        updateListSummary(currentValue);    

        m_updateList.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(new OnPreferenceChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object newValue) {
                updateListSummary(newValue.toString());
                return true;
            }       
        });     
    }

    private void updateListSummary(String newValue) {
        int index = m_updateList.findIndexOfValue(newValue);
        CharSequence entry = m_updateList.getEntries()[index];
        m_updateList.setSummary(entry);
    }
}

这是唯一对我有效的解决方法。在我尝试子类从ListPreferences和实现android:summary="bla bla bla %s"。既不工作。

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。

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
    }
}

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。

我的选择是扩展ListPreference，它是干净的:

public class ListPreferenceShowSummary extends ListPreference {

    private final static String TAG = ListPreferenceShowSummary.class.getName();

    public ListPreferenceShowSummary(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        init();
    }

    public ListPreferenceShowSummary(Context context) {
        super(context);
        init();
    }

    private void init() {

        setOnPreferenceChangeListener(new OnPreferenceChangeListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference arg0, Object arg1) {
                arg0.setSummary(getEntry());
                return true;
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence getSummary() {
        return super.getEntry();
    }
}

然后你添加你的settings.xml:

<yourpackage.ListPreferenceShowSummary
    android:key="key" android:title="title"
    android:entries="@array/entries" android:entryValues="@array/values"
    android:defaultValue="first value"/>
