Question

I have the same problem like this question:
Custom title bar in PreferenceActivity?

After extending PreferenceActivity, I write this code in onCreate(), it just shows a blank grey title. I think it is a bug (because this solution works well with Activity).

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.window_title);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.main_pref);

Edited:

window_title.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"

               android:layout_width="35dip"

    <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"

</LinearLayout>

main_pref.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen

    android:title="@string/mainPrefTitle">

    <ListPreference android:entries="@array/languageStrings"

                    android:key="languagePrefKey" />

</PreferenceScreen>

Answer 1

call setFeatureInt() AFTER addPreferenceFromResource().
