Fragment Must specify preferenceTheme in theme onCreate

Question

I am trying to figure out why I am getting this error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Must specify preferenceTheme in theme
at android.support.v7.preferenc         


        

Answer 1

Thanks to the solution that @Panther suggested. All I had to do is to add this line @style/PreferenceThemeOverlay to my Application Theme and not just the theme of the individual activity that is showing my PreferenceFragment like that:

Alternatively you can use

@style/PreferenceThemeOverlay.v14.Material

to achieve modern material look.
