Im planning to create app start with splash screen depend on user preference ( final goal, still not add onclick listener to buttons ) , i start step by step to achieve that and its first time to use radio buttons in preference ,
when i run app and press preference button in option menu it gave force close as below code .
I know it can be done through listpreference in preference.xml in xml folder , but id like to do it in layout if that is possible.
any help will be appreciated , thanks

If you look through the logcat you can see that you need a ListView.
But you're going at this all wrong. You should basically create a Preferences.xml file in which you specify which preference widgets you want in your PreferenceActivity, e.g. RadioButtons, and then assign that xml file to your PreferenceActivity like this:
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
Example of Preferences.xml from this tutorial (file goes in res/xml folder which you should create yourself)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<PreferenceCategory
android:summary="Username and password information"
android:title="Login information" >
<EditTextPreference
android:key="username"
android:summary="Please enter your login username"
android:title="Username" />
<EditTextPreference
android:key="password"
android:summary="Enter your password"
android:title="Password" />
</PreferenceCategory>
<PreferenceCategory
android:summary="Username and password information"
android:title="Settings" >
<CheckBoxPreference
android:key="checkBox"
android:summary="On/Off"
android:title="Keep me logged in" />
<ListPreference
android:entries="@array/listOptions"
android:entryValues="@array/listValues"
android:key="listpref"
android:summary="List preference example"
android:title="List preference" />
</PreferenceCategory>
</PreferenceScreen>
So take a look here
Edit:
You can add a custom entry to the ListView in Preferences.xml like this:
<Preference
android:layout="@layout/your_custom_pref_entry"
android:key="SOME_KEY_NAME" />
Not sure how to handle the RadioButtons selection from there though.
