PreferenceFragmentCompat has padding on PreferenceCategory that I can't get rid of

Question

So I\'ve been trying to create a settings activity using androidx.preference.PreferenceFragmentCompat and it\'s all working fine.

However for some reason there is so

Answer 1

Actually there is a better hack to fix this, also with resource overriding:

Create res/values-sw360dp-v13/values-preference.xml:

    false
    0dp

The fixes the default value of iconSpacePreserved for all Preference; The fixes the PreferenceCategory.

EDIT: If you are using androidx.preference:preference:1.1.0-alpha01 or above, you won't need the preference_category_padding_start fix and config_materialPreferenceIconSpaceReserved only will be enough.
