/**
 * This activity is an example of a simple settings screen that has default
 * values.
 * <p>
 * In order for the default values to be populated into the
 * {@link SharedPreferences} (from the preferences XML file), the client must
 * call
 * {@link PreferenceManager#setDefaultValues(android.content.Context, int, boolean)}.
 * <p>
 * This should be called early, typically when the application is first created.
 * This ensures any of the application's activities, services, etc. will have
 * the default values present, even if the user has not wandered into the
 * application's settings. For ApiDemos, this is {@link ApiDemosApplication},
 * and you can find the call to
 * {@link PreferenceManager#setDefaultValues(android.content.Context, int, boolean)}
 * in its {@link ApiDemosApplication#onCreate() onCreate}.
