Please find the attached AndroidPreferenceSample.zip file and download the simple project which implements PreferenceActivity.

In the MainLayout.axml file, a button called SettingsButton is added. The click event handler is defined in the SimpleActivity.cs file using following snippet code.

protected override void OnCreate(global::Android.OS.Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);

    Button settingsButton = this.FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.SettingsButton);
            
    if (settingsButton != null)
    {
        settingsButton.Click += OnSettingsButtonClick;
    }
}

private void OnSettingsButtonClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, typeof(SettingsActivity));
    this.StartActivity(intent);
}

Clicking the SettingsButton will starts the SettingsActivity. In SettingsActivity, the preferences are added by invoking the AddPreferencesFromResource() method. For more detail, please check the SettingsActivity.cs file in the project.

Hope this helps.
