I think PreferenceScreen must at the top of the xml file. You don’t need to encapsulate it into a layout.
Try to remove the ralativelayout:

<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <PreferenceCategory
                android:title="First Category">
                <ListPreference
                        android:title="List Preference"
                        android:summary="This preference allows to select an item in a array"
                        android:key="listPref"
                        android:defaultValue="digiGreen"
                        android:entries="@array/justforme_title_array"
                        android:entryValues="@array/sub_justforme_array" />
        </PreferenceCategory>    
</PreferenceScreen>
