Android - CheckBoxPreference dependent on SwitchPreference doesn't get set to FALSE after Switch is turned OFF -

i have settingsactivity implements sharedpreferences.onsharedpreferencechangelistener . loads preferences fragments (as suggested latest android developer's guide).

of course override onsharedpreferencechanged(...) , switch(key) take care of .

since in preferences.xml declared checkboxpreference dependent on switchpreference's state, whenever user disables switch following happens:

• the checkbox gets disabled (which happens already)
• the corresponding sharedpreference set false
• the corresponding case in onsharedpreferencechanged(...) gets triggered (in order take care of killing things related it)

what's sense of disabling checkbox parent, if it's related preference doesn't updated well?

i tried

boolean clipboardservicebootstatus = sharedpreferences.getboolean(key_pref_clipboard_service_boot, false); if (clipboardservicebootstatus == true){ log.d("settings activity", "boot enabled too. disabling now"); sharedpreferences.editor editor = sharedpreferences.edit(); editor.putboolean(settingsactivity.key_pref_clipboard_service_boot, false); editor.commit();  

but checkbox remains checked (while grayed ) , strange things happens subsequent checkbox's clicks being detected twice or trice after being re-enabled
