My code of preference XML is here. I want to get the title “Show List” in my program.

            <intent android:action="android.intent.action.VIEW"
                android:targetPackage="com.picknext"
                android:targetClass="com.picknext.PickName" />
        </PreferenceScreen>
        <ListPreference android:title="Remove after pick"
            android:key="selection_of_Y_N_Name_Pick" android:entries="@array/selection_of_y_n_namepick"
            android:entryValues="@array/value_of_y_n_naempick" android:defaultValue="Yes" />
    </PreferenceCategory>
</PreferenceScreen>

You probably have a class that extends PreferenceActivity. Inside this (for example in onCreate()) you have a call to addPreferencesFromResource(). After this you have access to the title via the methods getTitle() and setTitle().

I hope this helps.
