MainActivity如下:

package cn.testpreferenceactivity;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.CheckBoxPreference;
import android.preference.ListPreference;
import android.preference.Preference;
import android.preference.Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener;
import android.preference.Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener;
import android.preference.PreferenceActivity;
import android.preference.PreferenceManager;
/**
 * Demo描述:
 * PreferenceActivity的使用示例
 * 
 * 注意事项:
 * 1 不要ListPreference的属性android:dialogMessage
 *   若设置则无法弹出选择列表.
 *   这和单选,多选对话框类似不能设置其Message.
 * 2 不要ListPreference的属性android:positiveButtonText
 *   即使设置也无效
 * 3 注意ListPreference的默认值的设定
 *   android:defaultValue="222"
 *   该值必须是 android:entryValues="@array/values_array"
 *   这个数组中包含的值!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 *   
 *
