public class SettingsActivity extends AppCompatPreferenceActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setupActionBar();


}


/**
 * Set up the {@link android.app.ActionBar}, if the API is available.
 */
private void setupActionBar() {
    ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    if (actionBar != null) {
        // Show the Up button in the action bar.
        actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    }
}

@Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
    int id = item.getItemId();
    if (id == android.R.id.home) {
        if (!super.onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item)) {
            NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this);
        }
        return true;
    }
    return super.onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item);
}


/**

@Override

    return isXLargeTablet(this);
}

private static boolean isXLargeTablet(Context context) {
    return (context.getResources().getConfiguration().screenLayout
            & Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK) >= Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_XLARGE;
}

/**

@Override
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
public void onBuildHeaders(List<Header> target) {
    loadHeadersFromResource(R.xml.pref_headers, target);
}

/**

private static Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener =
        new Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object value) {

                        }
                    }

        };


private static void bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(Preference preference) {
    // Set the listener to watch for value changes.
    preference.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener);

}


//    Font   PreferenceFragment

public static class fontPreferenceFragment extends PreferenceFragment {
    @Override

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.pref_font);
        setHasOptionsMenu(true);


        bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(findPreference("font"));
        bindPreferenceSummaryToValue(findPreference("fontsizes"));
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == android.R.id.home) {
            startActivity(new Intent(getActivity(), SettingsActivity.class));
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

  }

and R.xml.pref_font is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <ListPreference
    android:defaultValue="1"
    android:entries="@array/pref_font_list_titles"
    android:entryValues="@array/pref_font_list_titles_values"
    android:key="font"
    android:negativeButtonText="@null"
    android:positiveButtonText="@null"
    android:title="@string/pref_font_title_header"/>

   <ListPreference

    android:defaultValue="1"
    android:entries="@array/pref_font_size_titles"
    android:entryValues="@array/pref_font_size_titles_values"
    android:key="fontsizes"
    android:negativeButtonText="@null"
    android:positiveButtonText="@null"
    android:title="Font size"

    />

Solution

  • After long searching, I figure out how to do it

    enter image description here

    In setting page XML file

    <com.........ArabicFontNameListPreference
        android:defaultValue="1"
        android:entries="@array/pref_font_list_titles_ar"
        android:entryValues="@array/pref_font_list_titles_values_ar"
        android:key="font_ar"
        android:negativeButtonText="@null"
        android:positiveButtonText="@null"
        android:title="@string/pref_font_title_ar"
        android:summary="@string/pref_font_title_ar_summary">

    </com.........ArabicFontNameListPreference>

    And ArabicFontNameListPreference.java

    import android.app.AlertDialog;
