Android Preferences custom layout edit

I added custom layouts to my preferences. But now I want to change the text of a TextView inside a layout programmatically. How do I do that?

Now it looks like this:

final PreferenceScreen preference = (PreferenceScreen) findPreference(getString(R.string.key_of_my_prefernce));
preference.setLayoutResource(R.layout.my_preference);

Thank you

Solution

  • Have you tried?

    PreferenceManager prefmngr=preference.getPreferenceManager();
TextView txt = (TextView)prefmngr.findPreference("the key of the textview in the preference tree").getView(convertView, parent);
txt.setText("TEXT");
