SwitchPreference (PreferenceAtivity) - Android NULL

Question

I have a screen preferences, and as such, used the PreferenceActivity, I have everything built and functioning, however a phone (Version 4.1.2) by clicking on the text SwitchPreference (ie anywhere on the row without being in the same switch ) he bursts with a Null Pointer Excetion, but if you click on the same swtich works fine.

What could this be?

error:

Have you ever solved it properly? As of today, about 2 years after you have asked that, I am facing this issue. — Eduardo, Sep 07 '16 at 20:44

add this to your custom switchPrefrences component

@Override protected void onClick() { // Log.e("CustomSwitchPreferences", "onClick called"); }

Leave it empty and DO NOT call super.onClick();

This will keep your onPrefrenceChange aside from clicks (switch action won't get affected, just the clicks on the row)
