            android:title="Alert fourth" />
        <io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.ListPreference
            android:key="preference_key_alert_timess"
            android:summary="Select alert time"
            android:title="Alert time"
            app:entry_arr="@array/alert_time_entry"
            app:format_str="%s"
            app:value_arr="@array/alert_time_value" />
        <io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.MultiSelectListPreference
            android:key="preference_key_alert_timeddwexss"
            android:summary="Select alert time"
            android:title="Alert time"
            app:entry_arr="@array/alert_time_entry"/>
    </io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.PreferenceCategory>
</PreferenceScreen>

Create your SettingsFragment which extends io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.PreferenceFragment

public class SettingsFragment extends PreferenceFragment {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        getPreferenceManager().setSharedPreferencesName(getString(R.string.app_name));
        addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preference_settings);
    }
}

Notice

There are lots of Class in the package corresponding to the original Android
Preference
EditTextPreference
ListPreference
MultiSelectListPreference
PreferenceCategory
PreferenceFragment
SwitchPreference
For most of Preference, you can use them just like original Android Preference.
For ListPreference you should use like this

  <io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.ListPreference
        android:key="preference_key_alert_timess"
        android:summary="Select alert time"
        android:title="Alert time"
        app:entry_arr="@array/alert_time_entry"
        app:format_str="%s"
        app:value_arr="@array/alert_time_value" />

The entry_arr is the array for entry and the value_arr is the array for the value you can get like this

listPreference.getValue();

The format_str is the format String for the summary, the %s is for the selected entry.

For MultiSelectListPreference you should use like this

 <io.github.xhinliang.mdpreference.MultiSelectListPreference
        android:key="preference_key_alert_timeddwexss"
        android:summary="Select alert time"
        android:title="Alert time"
        app:entry_arr="@array/alert_time_entry"/>

The entry_arr is the array for entry. You can get the array of selected Integer like this

multiSelectListPreference.getIndexes();

ATTENTION

For ListPreference, you can get a String(MAY BE NULL) by using SharePreference which is the user selected.
For MultiSelectListPreference, You can get a int by using SharePreference which means the indexes of selected item. After that you can get a Set of Integer by using

// bit means the int you get from SharePreference.
Set<Integer> set = MultiSelectListPreference.getSetByBit(bit);
