addView equivalente but adding Preference to PreferenceScreen?

I had recently had to do add a view to a LinearLayout programatically, I have to do the same for a for a PreferenceScreen but I don't know how. This is how it was done for a LinearLayout:

    LayoutInflater localLayoutInflater = (LayoutInflater)getBaseContext().getSystemService("layout_inflater");
    View myView = localLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_layout, null);
    final PreferenceScreen ll=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linearlayoutID);
    ll.addView(myView);

How can I do the same to add a preference to a PreferenceScreen?

EDIT:

This is what I've done so far:

Preference preference = new Preference(this);
        preference .setTitle("WHATEVER");
        preference .setSummary("Summary");
        preference .setKey("your_key");

I managed to create a preference and store it in list1, I think it's ok so far, but now I need to figure out how to append it inside <PreferenceScreen id="@+id/list">?

try this:

PreferenceGroup preferenceGroup = (PreferenceGroup) findPreference("containerId");
if (preferenceGroup != null) {
    preferenceGroup.addPreference(myNewPreference);
}

same goes for PreferenceScreen (replace PreferenceScreen with each time i've written PreferenceGroup ).
