Comment:
Indeed. This was a simple and silly bug. When using an older Android
versions on a tablet (or other large-screen device), Android tries
creating a preference "flow", where it first shows a panel containing only
headers (title and summary), then the user selects one of the headers and
Android shows the real preference screen. We didn't implement the initial
headers screen because it wasn't part of our goal (we really only targeted
smaller devices, too).
On newer versions of Android, the preferences are shown regardless of
whether the headers are defined (so it handles our implementation well
enough). On older versions of Android, I assume the user is shown all the
defined headers - in our case, there are zero headers and therefore a
blank screen is shown. This patch tells Android it should skip the headers
and go straight to the fragment we define on the line above it.
Branch `bug29982` in my repo.
