I created a live wallpaper with a preference activity. Unfortunately, any time the user changes a setting the onSharedPreferenceChangeListener gets called. The listener calls some routines that are somewhat CPU intensive (reinitialize a large mesh) so it makes the preference activity sluggish. How can I call the listener only when the user exits the preference activity?

    Maybe you should use onPause or onDestroy in your preferenceActivity to calculate your large mesh. Seems you just want to recalculate on changes on any attribute, so just set a flag in onPreferencesChanged and do your maths when activity is closed and your going back to liveWallpaper-View.

    Another way would be to start your calculation in a parallel thread, to let the preferenceActivity act as normal.
