How to record user preferences in Android with the support package

I have a FragmentActivity as my main activity. I am trying to call up a "user preferences" screen to record some preferences. It seems that I need to call the PreferenceActivity from an Activity (as opposed to a FragmentActivity). Is there an alternative to call a PreferenceActivity from a FragmentActivity?

Edit: I am using the compatibility package

No, sorry, PreferenceActivity only supports native fragments on Android 3.x and higher. With some care, you can craft preference XML and activities that will support both fragments on supported devices and a classic PreferenceActivity on older devices. Here is a sample project demonstrating this.
