The best idea is to extend the Preference class, and use setWidgetLayoutResource on the constructor for your RelativeLayout. The widgetLayout is the area to the left of the title and summary. If you want to change the whole preference, you need to use setLayoutResource. In this case there are some restrictions:

This layout should contain a ViewGroup with ID widget_frame to be the parent of the specific widget for this Preference. It should similarly contain title and summary.
