Android - Disable SwitchPreference from changing state but get click response to launch dialog?

Question

If I disable using setEnabled(false) the switch is (1) set to off and (2) I don't get a response from the OnClickListener to launch a dialog.

Edit: In this case, I don't want the switch to automatically switch from on to off.

Has anyone dealt with this problem?

The solution was to use setChecked(true) inside the OnPreferenceClickListener callback then launch the dialog.

Note: this did not work inside of the OnPreferenceChangeListener callback.

For those who want the code :

if (!BuildConfig.FULL_VERSION) {
            SwitchPreferenceCompat preference = (SwitchPreferenceCompat) findPreference(getString(R.string.pref_notifications_service_key));
            preference.setDefaultValue(false);
            preference.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener() {
                @Override
                public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference preference) {
                    ((SwitchPreferenceCompat) preference).setChecked(false);
                    new ProFeatureDialogFragment().show(getFragmentManager(), "PRO_FEATURE_TAG");
                    return false;
                }
            });
        }
