Android Transaction with PreferenceFragment

Question

I'm using a FragmentTransaction to replace a fragment in a container like this:

activity.getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().setCustomAnimations(R.anim.abc_fade_in, R.anim.abc_fade_out).replace(R.id.container, fragmentToShow).addToBackStack(null).commit();

The problem is that a PreferenceFragment can not be converted to support v4 fragment. How can I use a PreferenceFragment like that?

I saw that but I can't add the PreferenceFragmentCompat.. it says "The import android.support.v7.preference cannot be resolved" even though the support appcompat is being used by me — JJ Ab, Mar 15 '16 at 14:33
Add appcompact v7. dependencies { compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.+" } — Pravin Divraniya, Mar 15 '16 at 16:35

I did the same problem and I solved in those steps:

Add to gradle file dependencies this line
compile 'com.android.support:preference-v7:23.3.0'
Extends your SettingFragment with
'PreferenceFragmentCompat'
Import in your class
import android.support.v7.preference.PreferenceFragmentCompat;
