Shared Preferences and Preference Fragment

Question

Here are my questions:

1. How can I get the value of a switch preference?
2. Are things inside a preference fragment already a shared preference?
3. If so, how can I access shared preferences from a preference fragment?

Answer 1

1. To get the value of a switch:

CompoundButton cb = (CompoundButton)view.findViewById(R.id.myswitch);

if(cb.isChecked())
    cb.setChecked(false);
else
    cb.setChecked(true);

Reference: Toggle Buttons

2. Yes, the elements in a PreferenceFragment are automatically stored.

3. To get the SharedPreference object of a PreferenceFragment, use:

getDefaultSharedPreferences(Context context)
