Toggle return value for CheckboxPreference onClick

Question

I need to find a way to toggle the return value when clicking my CheckboxPreference. I have already set a key in my settings.xml. The click works fine, I'm just curious about how to return a new value upon each click.

final Preference disableRemixingPref = (Preference) findPreference("disableRemixing");
        disableRemixingPref.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener() {

                // I don't always want to return true here. Basically, on every click I want to return the opposite of what the selection was before.

                return true;
            }

        });

@PaulHicks I have to wait 2 days before I can accept my own answer. I probably will at that point. — Martin Erlic, Nov 15 '15 at 03:02

I managed to figure it out myself rather quickly. Did a few searches on toggling Boolean values: Cleanest way to toggle a boolean variable in Java?

    final Preference disableRemixingPref = (Preference) findPreference("disableRemixing");
    disableRemixingPref.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener() {

        boolean toggle = false;
        public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference preference) {
            disableRemixingPref.setSelectable(true);

            // Disable remixing by default
            ParseUser currentUser = ParseUser.getCurrentUser();
            currentUser.put("remixByDefault", toggle);
            currentUser.saveInBackground();

            toggle = !toggle;
            return toggle;
        }

    });
