android - SharedPreferences.Editor not being updated after initial commit -

i'ma bit confused here. i'm trying alter value of edittextpreference, not updated in view. (this in preferenceactivity)

here code:

@override protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) { super.oncreate(savedinstancestate); addpreferencesfromresource(r.xml.modify_instrument_preferences); // set default values sharedpreferences customsharedpreference = preferencemanager.getdefaultsharedpreferences(this); sharedpreferences.editor editor = customsharedpreference.edit(); modifying = getobjectwithname(); //some object name; editor.putstring("namepref", modifying.getname()); editor.commit(); android.util.log.d("test", "written: "+customsharedpreference.getstring("namepref","")); }

my printlns print out valid information, , commit() returns true, on clicking edittextpreference, displays old value. if rotate screen, causing oncreate run again, edittextpreference has right value.

so perplexing. why isn't alter beingness updated in ui?

edit:

i'm not sure why above isn't working, managed alter doing:

edittextpreference namepref = (edittextpreference) findpreference("namepref"); namepref.settext("the text");

that updated view everytime.

although know there constructs in place preferenceactivities maintain track of info themselves, doesn't seem documented. have found adding onpreferencechangelistener preference allow create edits preference changed.
