@Override
onPreferenceTreeClick(Preference preference) {
    if (preference.getKey().equals(getContext().getString(R.string.pref_key_clickable_item))) {

override fun onPreferenceTreeClick(preference: Preference): Boolean {
    if (preference.key == context?.getString(R.string.pref_key_clickable_ite)) {
       // user clicked the item
       // return "true" to indicate you handled the click
       return true
    }
    return false
}
