I would bet that you are accessing a different set of preferences than
the ones you're saving in the preference screen.
The Preference screen uses the preference file returned from
PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context); (context will
typically be 'this' -- your activity).
If you call getPreferences() on the activity, it returns one that is
private to the activity, which isn't what you want here.
