Checkbox setChecked() through a layout inflater

Question

I am making a game in android studio and I ran into a problem when designing the settings tab:

I have a settings XML file that I access through the java code from the main menu screen, and I want to set the checkboxes according to a sharedpreferences file.

The thing is that while the actual preferences are updated, whenever I call setChecked() it doesn't do anything.

what I am trying to is:

    final LayoutInflater factory = LayoutInflater.from(this);
    final View settingsView = factory.inflate(R.layout.activity_settings, null);
    CheckBox test = settingsView.findViewById(R.id.testCheck);
    test.setChecked(true); // not really doing anything

Ty for all the help :)

Answer 1

Try like below.

setContentView(R.layout.activity_settings);
CheckBox test = settingsView.findViewById(R.id.testCheck);
test.post(new Runnable() {
@override
public void run() {
   test.setChecked(true);
}});
