8,243 PointsDoes the Fragment Have to Extend 'PreferenceFragment'?
When creating a fragment that allows you to edit your preference setting, does the fragment have to extend 'PreferenceFragment' in order to work? In my case, I have a fragment that allows the user to change a setting, but I set it up like any other fragment. Is it okay to set a fragment up like you usually would for the purpose of using it as a settings fragment?
