Looking to the Answer of RamiReddy, is a bit old so i will put below the updated one. I hope will help someone.

This is worked for me. My code:

Preference key_remove_ads = findPreference(getString(R.string.key_remove_ads_));
            key_remove_ads.setEnabled(false);
            key_remove_ads.setShouldDisableView(true);

And this is my xml: 

android:defaultValue="@string/remove_ads_title_small"
android:key="@string/key_remove_ads_"
android:summary="@string/remove_ads_title_small"
android:title="@string/remove_ads_title" />

Set setShouldDisableView(true). Then, set setEnabled(false). This should make the item appear disabled (grey) and not clickable.
