Answer 1

To get the view of a desired preference you can use this:

@Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus)
{
    super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
    Preference preference=findPreference(“preferenceKey”);
    View preferenceView=getListView().getChildAt(preference.getOrder());
    //Do your stuff
}

Note: You can not do this in the onCreate method because it will throw a NullPointerException.
