You can copy paste run full code below
To make sure value is correctly saved , you can use PreferenceDialogLink's onPop to call setState in Setting page

code snippet

PreferenceDialogLink(
          'Android\'s "ListPreference"',
          dialog: PreferenceDialog(
            [
              RadioPreference(
                  'Select me!', 'select_1', 'android_listpref_selected'),
              RadioPreference(
                  'Hello World!', 'select_2', 'android_listpref_selected'),
              RadioPreference('Test', 'select_3', 'android_listpref_selected'),
            ],
            title: 'Select an option',
            cancelText: 'Cancel',
            submitText: 'Save',
            onlySaveOnSubmit: true,
          ),
          onPop: () => setState(() {}),
