Question

This works lovely for doing it once statically.

But what if I have a font color preference, and I want the preference screen itself to update based on that?

Answer 1

Going with the information from this answer, you could try using a SpannableString object and set the color that way. The example from that answer:

Spannable summary = new SpannableString ("Currently This Color");
summary.setSpan( new ForgroundColorSpan(color), 0, summary.length(), 0 );
preference.setSummary(summary);
