I'm using a FragmentTransaction to replace a fragment in a container like this:

activity.getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().setCustomAnimations(R.anim.abc_fade_in, R.anim.abc_fade_out).replace(R.id.container, fragmentToShow).addToBackStack(null).commit();

The problem is that a PreferenceFragment can not be converted to support v4 fragment. How can I use a PreferenceFragment like that?

  • I saw that but I can't add the PreferenceFragmentCompat.. it says "The import android.support.v7.preference cannot be resolved" even though the support appcompat is being used by me – JJ Ab Mar 15 '16 at 14:33
  • Add appcompact v7. dependencies { compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.+" } – Pravin Divraniya Mar 15 '16 at 16:35

I did the same problem and I solved in those steps:

  1. Add to gradle file dependencies this line
    compile 'com.android.support:preference-v7:23.3.0'
  2. Extends your SettingFragment with
    'PreferenceFragmentCompat'
  3. Import in your class
    import android.support.v7.preference.PreferenceFragmentCompat;
