Why the "The method getPreferenceOnScreen is depriciated" is shown?

I am developing a simple android app. I have set preferences through a method which is given below-

public void updateSummaries() {
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_SIP_DOMAIN).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_SIP_DOMAIN, DEFAULT_SIP_DOMAIN));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_SIP_PROXY).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_SIP_PROXY, DEFAULT_SIP_PROXY));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_SIP_PROXY_PORT).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_SIP_PROXY_PORT, DEFAULT_SIP_PROXY_PORT));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_STUN_UDP).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_STUN_UDP, DEFAULT_STUN_UDP));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_STUN_UDP_PORT).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_STUN_UDP_PORT, DEFAULT_STUN_UDP_PORT));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_STUN_TCP).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_STUN_TCP, DEFAULT_STUN_TCP));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_STUN_TCP_PORT).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_STUN_TCP_PORT, DEFAULT_STUN_TCP_PORT));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_TURN_UDP).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_TURN_UDP, DEFAULT_TURN_UDP));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_TURN_UDP_PORT).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_TURN_UDP_PORT, DEFAULT_TURN_UDP_PORT));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_TURN_TCP).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_TURN_TCP, DEFAULT_TURN_TCP));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_TURN_TCP_PORT).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_TURN_TCP_PORT, DEFAULT_TURN_TCP_PORT));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_TCP_MODE).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_TCP_MODE, DEFAULT_TCP_MODE));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_AFE_MODE).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_AFE_MODE, DEFAULT_AFE_MODE));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_BWM_MODE).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_BWM_MODE, DEFAULT_BWM_MODE));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_HTTP_PROXY).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_HTTP_PROXY, DEFAULT_HTTP_PROXY));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_HTTP_PROXY_PORT).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_HTTP_PROXY_PORT, DEFAULT_HTTP_PROXY_PORT));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_HTTP_DOMAIN).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_HTTP_DOMAIN, DEFAULT_HTTP_DOMAIN));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_TURN_USERNAME).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_TURN_USERNAME, DEFAULT_TURN_USERNAME));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_TURN_PASSWORD).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_TURN_PASSWORD, DEFAULT_TURN_PASSWORD));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_HTTP_PROXY_USERNAME).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_HTTP_PROXY_USERNAME, DEFAULT_HTTP_PROXY_USERNAME));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_HTTP_PROXY_PASSWORD).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_HTTP_PROXY_PASSWORD, DEFAULT_HTTP_PROXY_PASSWORD));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_TRANSPORT_MODE).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_TRANSPORT_MODE, DEFAULT_TRANSPORT_MODE));
    getPreferenceScreen().findPreference(PREF_AUTO_ANSWER).setSummary(settings.getString(PREF_AUTO_ANSWER, DEFAULT_AUTO_ANSWER));
    }

But here the warning message is shown and sometimes I don't get any preferences set on the setting page. Can anyone say me that what is the root cause of this problem?

Somebody deprecated that method using the @Deprecated annotation, because they believe it should no longer be used. You should find where that method is declared and read the documentation under @deprecated if provided, or find whoever manages that method in your organization to find out what alternatives they are suggesting.

Edit: My apologies, didn't realize this is an Android snippet. See android - getPreferenceScreen question made by another user. They are suggesting that you should use getPreferenceManager() instead.

Like so: 

getPreferenceManager().findPreference("keep").setEnabled(true);
