MultiSelectListPreference crashes with dependency

I have a CheckBoxPreference(key=time_remaining_vibrate) preference and a MultiSelectListPreference(key=time_remaining_vibrate_times), and I want the MultiSelectListPreference to be dependent on the CheckBoxPreference but whenever I add the "android:dependency="time_remaining_vibrate"" to the XML file, my app crashes. Oddly enough, if I change the MultiSelectListPreference to a ListPreference, then it no longer crashes, but I need the MultiSelect preference. Here are are the relevant files and probably some irrelevant ones :)

Edit: My API version is 19, if that matters, so I know that the MultiSelectListPreference is supported.

EDIT: SOLUTION: I needed to add android:defaultValue="@array/empty_array" to the MultiSelectListPreference. Thanks to Michiyo for this answer :). The other problem I had was a string cannot be cast as set exception, but that was fixed by clearing the app's data in settings.

preferences.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">


<CheckBoxPreference
        android:key="early"
        android:title="@string/early"
        android:summary="@string/early_summ"
        android:defaultValue="false"/>

<PreferenceCategory
        android:title="@string/time_remaining"
        android:key="time_remaining">

    <CheckBoxPreference
            android:key="time_remaining_vibrate"
            android:title="@string/remain_vibrate"
            android:summary="@string/remain_vibrate_summ"
            android:disableDependentsState="true"
            android:defaultValue="false"/>

    <MultiSelectListPreference
            android:key="time_remaining_vibrate_times"
            android:title="@string/remain_vibrate_times"
            android:summary="@string/remain_vibrate_times_summ"
            android:entries="@array/empty_array"
            android:entryValues="@array/empty_array"
            android:dependency="time_remaining_vibrate"/>

</PreferenceCategory>


</PreferenceScreen>

SettingsFragment.java

import android.os.Bundle;

public class SettingsFragment extends PreferenceFragment {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // Load the preferences from an XML resource
    addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);

}

public class SettingsActivity extends Activity {

public static final String PREFS_NAME = "userSettings.txt";

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
            .replace(android.R.id.content, new SettingsFragment())
            .commit();

    PreferenceManager.setDefaultValues(this,R.xml.preferences,false);
}


}

If anyone can point me in the direction of my probably simple mistake, or the reason why my app crashes, I would be forever thankful!

Thanks
