如果有人还在寻找这个问题的答案，你应该看看三十三四十的答案。

<ListPreference
    android:key="pref_list"
    android:title="A list of preferences"
    android:summary="%s"
    android:entries="@array/pref_list_entries"
    android:entryValues="@array/pref_list_entries_values"
    android:defaultValue="0" />

Android会将%s替换为首选项的当前字符串值，就像ListPreference的选择器显示的那样。

如果你使用PreferenceFragment，这就是我解决它的方法。这是不言而喻的。

public static class SettingsFragment extends PreferenceFragment implements OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.settings);
      getPreferenceScreen().getSharedPreferences().registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
      super.onResume();
      for (int i = 0; i < getPreferenceScreen().getPreferenceCount(); ++i) {
        Preference preference = getPreferenceScreen().getPreference(i);
        if (preference instanceof PreferenceGroup) {
          PreferenceGroup preferenceGroup = (PreferenceGroup) preference;
          for (int j = 0; j < preferenceGroup.getPreferenceCount(); ++j) {
            Preference singlePref = preferenceGroup.getPreference(j);
            updatePreference(singlePref, singlePref.getKey());
          }
        } else {
          updatePreference(preference, preference.getKey());
        }
      }
    }

    @Override
    public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences, String key) {
      updatePreference(findPreference(key), key);
    }

    private void updatePreference(Preference preference, String key) {
      if (preference == null) return;
      if (preference instanceof ListPreference) {
        ListPreference listPreference = (ListPreference) preference;
        listPreference.setSummary(listPreference.getEntry());
        return;
      }
      SharedPreferences sharedPrefs = getPreferenceManager().getSharedPreferences();
      preference.setSummary(sharedPrefs.getString(key, "Default"));
    }
  }

实际上，CheckBoxPreference确实能够根据复选框值指定不同的摘要。请参阅android:summaryOff和android:summaryOn属性(以及相应的CheckBoxPreference方法)。

我的选择是扩展ListPreference，它是干净的:

public class ListPreferenceShowSummary extends ListPreference {

    private final static String TAG = ListPreferenceShowSummary.class.getName();

    public ListPreferenceShowSummary(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        init();
    }

    public ListPreferenceShowSummary(Context context) {
        super(context);
        init();
    }

    private void init() {

        setOnPreferenceChangeListener(new OnPreferenceChangeListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference arg0, Object arg1) {
                arg0.setSummary(getEntry());
                return true;
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence getSummary() {
        return super.getEntry();
    }
}

然后你添加你的settings.xml:

<yourpackage.ListPreferenceShowSummary
    android:key="key" android:title="title"
    android:entries="@array/entries" android:entryValues="@array/values"
    android:defaultValue="first value"/>

简洁的解决方案只需一行代码:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);

    bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(findPreference("mySetting"));

    // initialize summary
    sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener.onPreferenceChange(findPreference("mySetting"), 
        ((ListPreference) findPreference("mySetting")).getEntry());
}

EditTextPreference:

我来到这个解决方案，当然，只是如果你需要特定的edittextpreference，但你可以这样做，每一个偏好:

............

private static final String KEY_EDIT_TEXT_PREFERENCE2 = "on_a1";
public static  String value = "";

............

private void updatePreference(Preference preference, String key) {

            if (key.equals(KEY_EDIT_TEXT_PREFERENCE2)) {
                preference = findPreference(key);
                if (preference instanceof EditTextPreference) {
                    editTextPreference = (EditTextPreference) preference;
                    editTextPreference.setSummary(editTextPreference.getText());
                    value = editTextPreference.getText().toString();
                    return;
                }
                SharedPreferences sharedPrefs = getPreferenceManager().getSharedPreferences();
                preference.setSummary(sharedPrefs.getString(KEY_EDIT_TEXT_PREFERENCE2, ""));

            }
}

然后在onResume();

@Override
        public void onResume() {
            super.onResume();

            SharedPreferences etext = getPreferenceManager().getSharedPreferences();
            String str = etext.getString("value", "");
            editTextPreference = (EditTextPreference) findPreference(KEY_EDIT_TEXT_PREFERENCE2);
            editTextPreference.setText(str);
            editTextPreference.setSummary(editTextPreference.getText());

            getPreferenceScreen().getSharedPreferences()
                    .registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);
        }

In:

@Override
        public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences, String key) {
            updatePreference(findPreference(key), key);
}
