House your settings or preferences in PreferenceFragment

• Have a Fragment extend PreferenceFragment and call the addPreferencesFromResource method:

   public class SettingsFragment extends PreferenceFragment {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        //Load preference data from XML
        addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.settings);
    }
}

• Load the fragment when necessary:

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        ft.replace(android.R.id.content, new SettingsFragment());
        ft.addToBackStack(null);
        ft.commit();
}

• Ofcourse make sure the settings.xml file is hosted at /res/xml/settings.xml
