DialogFragment in PreferenceActivity

I have defined dialogfragments (because Android documentation says that it is better and indeed it is) but now I want to use it in PreferenceActivity.

The problem is that I cannot use getSupportFragmentManager() there and I cannot use PreferenceFragment since it doesn't work with compatibility library. Looks like a road block scenario.

Can anyone advise on this?

As you noted, PreferenceFragment is not in the android compatibility package and unfortunately there is no clean way around this. For my own personal project, I had to adapt an implementation off of Android's source code: http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/4.0.4_r1.2/android/preference/PreferenceFragment.java

The answers to this question have some great suggestions: Was PreferenceFragment intentionally excluded from the compatibility package?
