I have settings screen which is Fragment extending PreferencesListFragment. In which first there is main PreferenceScreen in which there are multiple nested PreferenceScreen like below layout:

<PreferenceScreen>
   //general settings
   <PreferenceScreen android:key="adv_settings">
    //more advanced settings
   </PreferenceScreen>
</PreferenceScreen>

Main Settings list is looks fine as shown below:

Settings list

But when i clicked on one of PreferenceScreen say "Call" then Call PreferenceScreen opens as shown below with added left and right side padding.

Call Settings list

I am using Custom layout for PreferenceScreen in which i do not give any padding to layout.

I am creating PreferenceScreen programatically

I have followed this and this about removing padding by setting padding to ListView but i did not helped.

Any help will be appreciated.

The padding is caused by the parent ListView in the PreferenceScreen containing your settings. I had the same problem when I created my custom preferences from code. If you are using a PreferenceFragment to create your Preferences, just go to the onActivityCreated function of the PreferenceFragement and do the following to remove the padding:

public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

  View lv = getView().findViewById(android.R.id.list);
  if (lv != null) lv.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0);
}

In my case I had to use R.id.list instead of android.R.id.list
