title: How do I get android preferences to work?
body: <p>Sorry about this guys. This must be like the third question I've had to ask about this project alone. =(</p>
  
  <p>What i want to be able to do is toggle the visibility of a radio button using a check box in a preferences activity.</p>
  
  <p>There are no errors in my code and both activities run fine, but there is no change in visibility when the check box is checked or unchecked.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my Activity with the radiobuttons</p>
  
  <pre><code>import android.app.Activity;
  import android.content.SharedPreferences;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import android.preference.PreferenceManager;
  import android.view.View;
  import android.widget.EditText;
  import android.widget.RadioButton;
  import com.medialets.android.analytics.MMAnalyticsManager;
  
  public class Temperature extends Activity {
  MMAnalyticsManager mManager;
  private EditText text;
  
  public void onStart(Bundle savedInstanceState){
      super.onStart();
      getPrefs();
  }
  
      @Override
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.temperature);
          text = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.EditText01);
  
  mManager = MMAnalyticsManager.sharedInstance(this);
  mManager.start("codeHere", "1.0",
      false);
  }
  
  @Override
  public void onPause() {
  super.onPause();
  
  mManager.pause();
  }
  
  @Override
  public void onResume() {
  super.onResume();
  
  mManager.resume();
  }

  <p>Sorry there is other stuff in there as well such as an analytics plug in</p>
  
  <p>Anyone have any idea as to why this just isn't working</p>
  
  <p>(Just a side note. When looking at the logcat, clicking the checkbox returned no results)</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> OK i've just ammended my code as suggested but i'm afraid that the preferences still do not affect anything. Anybody have any ideas?? =(</p>
