我唯一改变的是库版本：

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:24.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:preference-v14:24.1.1'

和compileSdkVersion / target到api 24.

这是在这些设备上生成错误的类：

public class PreferencesActivity extends AppCompatPreferenceActivity
        implements SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener
{
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        ActionBarUtils.titleBarSetup(getSupportActionBar(),this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBuildHeaders(List<android.preference.PreferenceActivity.Header> target) {
        loadHeadersFromResource(R.xml.preferences_header,target);
    }

    @Override
    public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences,String key) {

    }

    /**
     * Subclasses should override this method and verify that the given fragment is a valid type to be attached to this

    @Override
    protected boolean isValidFragment(String fragmentName) {
        if(NetPrefs.class.getName().equals(fragmentName) ||
                LookPrefs.class.getName().equals(fragmentName) ||
                NotifyPrefs.class.getName().equals(fragmentName) ||
                GeneralPrefs.class.getName().equals(fragmentName))
            return true;

        return false;
    }

    public static class NetPrefs extends PreferenceFragment {
        @Override
        public void onCreatePreferences(Bundle bundle,String s) {
            addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences_net);
        }
    }

    public static class LookPrefs extends PreferenceFragment {
        @Override
        public void onCreatePreferences(Bundle bundle,String s) {
            addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences_look_feel);
        }
    }

        }
    }

    public static class GeneralPrefs extends PreferenceFragment {
        @Override
        public void onCreatePreferences(Bundle bundle,String s) {
            addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences_general);
        }
    }
}

从我所理解的(在这里搜索SO)它似乎与sdk 24的list_container部分有关.无论如何我无法理解原因,因为我使用的版本至少与v14背面兼容,不幸的是我没有有任何华为设备做一些尝试.
