I have preference.xml like this
<MultiSelectListPreference
android:key="store_select"
android:title="@string/setting_store_title"
android:summary="@string/setting_store_summary"
android:dialogTitle="@string/setting_store_dialog_title"
android:entries="@array/store_names"
android:entryValues="@array/stores"
android:defaultValue="@array/stores"
/>
with my two arrays:
<string-array name="stores">
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
<item>3</item>
<item>4</item>
<item>5</item>
</string-array>
<string-array name="store_names">
<item>foodbasics</item>
<item>nofrills</item>
<item>metro</item>
<item>loblaws</item>
<item>sobeys</item>
</string-array>
I want the default behaviour to be all of the options selected, but currently nothing is selected by default. Am I doing something wrong?
To make all MultiSelectListPreference
items selected (on) by default, then include the attribute defaultsValue
for the Preference, e.g.
android:defaultValue="@array/stores"
If it's not working, then make sure that you clear
the application data as this will only take effect the first time the application is run.
