Changing the appearance of Preference activity

Question

PreferenceActivity and theme not applying

I am creating preference screen having 2 panes, One for headers and one for corresponding fragment.

But I want to change layout of these preferences. For fragment I know how to do that.

But I dont know how to change layout of preference headers here. And also cannot find any relevant documentation too.

Why don't u create a normal- say ListActivity here and access Preferences from here instead of PreferenceActivity. That way u can customize the look of the activity as required. — pixelscreen, Jul 18 '12 at 14:28

I think that document is for old PreferenceActivity, prior to honeycomb. — Harshit Syal, Jul 18 '12 at 14:35
Actually I read that doc only to learn how to change layout of fragment pane, But for headers pane there is no such info available on net, Thats why I posted this question. — Harshit Syal, Jul 18 '12 at 14:39

Yeah the style is changing, but I cannot add title, footer etc.iF I try to add any layout file, the app crashes with exception: Illegalargument exception, cannot find view for fragment. – Harshit Syal Jul 19 '12 at 11:02
