I have the same problem like this question:
Custom title bar in PreferenceActivity ??
After
extending PreferenceActivity, I write this code in onCreate(), it just shows a blank grey title. I think it is a bug (because this solution works well with Activity).
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.window_title);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.main_pref);
Edited:
