I have an ugly solution to this.There should be somewhere to force it to
reload the preferences and refresh the screen, but just like you I do not
know how to do it. (Suggestions?)
However, what you can do is to finish the current preferences activity and
to restart it in a new activity, like so:
protected void resetPreferences(){
prefs = getSharedPreferences("...", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
... // do all the resetting
editor.commit();
finish();
ComponentName comp = new ComponentName(this.getPackageName(),
getClass().getName());
startActivity(new Intent().setComponent(comp));
}
This at least works if you are on the main screen of the activity.
Yes, it is a hack.
