Selecting default values for multi select list preference

Question

I am working on an android app where I have implemented preference activity. I want to set more than one default values for Multi Select Preferences, how should I do it?

I want to do it programatically and not via layout

Answer 1

Try using :

listPreferenceData.setValues(defaultValue);

Here the defaultValue is the Set of the entry values which you wish to set as the default values.

Answer 2

setValues method is used to set default value to MultiSelectListPreference.

void setValues (Set<String> values)

Sets the value of the key. This should contain entries in getEntryValues()

For example mListPref.setValue(defaultValue);
