  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
  }
}

// or insert suppresswarning
public class SettingsActivity extends PreferenceActivity {
  @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
	@Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
