TimePicker custom preference for androidx.preference.DialogPreference

Question

I'm trying to convert a TimePicker preference dialog extended from android.support.v7.preference.DialogPreference to the same but extended from androidx.preference.DialogPreference.

Here is the code of the original custom preference :

package com.example.example;

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Locale;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.res.TypedArray;
import android.preference.DialogPreference;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TimePicker;


public class TimePreference extends DialogPreference {
    private int mHour = 0;
    private int mMinute = 0;
    private TimePicker picker = null;
    private final String DEFAULT_VALUE = "00:00";

    public static int getHour(String time) {
        String[] pieces = time.split(":");
        return Integer.parseInt(pieces[0]);
    }

    public static int getMinute(String time) {
        String[] pieces = time.split(":");
        return Integer.parseInt(pieces[1]);
    }

    public TimePreference(Context context) {
        this(context, null);
    }

    public TimePreference(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        this(context, attrs, 0);
    }

    public TimePreference(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        setPositiveButtonText("Set");
        setNegativeButtonText("Cancel");
    }

    public void setTime(int hour, int minute) {
        mHour = hour;
        mMinute = minute;
        String time = toTime(mHour, mMinute);
        persistString(time);
        notifyDependencyChange(shouldDisableDependents());
        notifyChanged();
    }

    public String toTime(int hour, int minute) {
        return hour + ":" + minute;
    }

    public void updateSummary() {
        String time = mHour + ":" + mMinute;
        setSummary(time24to12(time));
    }

    @Override
    protected View onCreateDialogView() {
        picker = new TimePicker(getContext());
        return picker;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onBindDialogView(View v) {
        super.onBindDialogView(v);
        picker.setCurrentHour(mHour);
        picker.setCurrentMinute(mMinute);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDialogClosed(boolean positiveResult) {
        super.onDialogClosed(positiveResult);

        if (positiveResult) {
            int currHour = picker.getCurrentHour();
            int currMinute = picker.getCurrentMinute();

            if (!callChangeListener(toTime(currHour, currMinute))) {
                return;
            }

            // persist
            setTime(currHour, currMinute);
            updateSummary();
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected Object onGetDefaultValue(TypedArray a, int index) {
        return a.getString(index);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onSetInitialValue(boolean restorePersistedValue, Object defaultValue) {
        String time = null;

        if (restorePersistedValue) {
            if (defaultValue == null) {
                time = getPersistedString(DEFAULT_VALUE);
            }
            else {
                time = getPersistedString(DEFAULT_VALUE);
            }
        }
        else {
            time = defaultValue.toString();
        }

        int currHour = getHour(time);
        int currMinute = getMinute(time);
        // need to persist here for default value to work
        setTime(currHour, currMinute);
        updateSummary();
    }

    public static Date toDate(String inTime) {
        try {
            DateFormat inTimeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm", Locale.US);
            return inTimeFormat.parse(inTime);
        } catch(ParseException e) {
            return null;
        }
    }

    public static String time24to12(String inTime) {
        Date inDate = toDate(inTime);
        if(inDate != null) {
            DateFormat outTimeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm a", Locale.US);
            return outTimeFormat.format(inDate);
        } else {
            return inTime;
        }
    }
}

If I try to use that directly in my preference fragment, the app crashed with the following error :

android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #27: Error inflating class com.example.example.TimePreference
...
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.example.example.TimePreference cannot be cast to androidx.preference.Preference

That's normal, considering the fact that my custom preference is not an androidx.preference

I haven't found any information on how to convert an old android.support.v7.preference to a new androidx.preference. Does anyone know how to do so ?

Thanks a lot !
