Preference onClick Not Detected

Question

i have setup an onpreference click listener for a preference but it fails to fire even though the preference is found by the find preference command.

Activity

public class PreferenceActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        // Display the fragment as the main content
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_preference);
        if (savedInstanceState == null) {
            getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                    .replace(R.id.settings, new SettingsFragment())
                    .commit();
        }
    }

    public static class SettingsFragment extends PreferenceFragment implements SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener {

        Context context;
        private final String DOB = "date";
        private SharedPreferences prefs;

        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);

            context = getActivity().getApplicationContext();

            Preference dob = findPreference(DOB);
            Log.i("test", dob.getKey() + "");

            dob.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener() {
                @Override
                public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference preference) {
                    Log.i("test", "2");
                    return false;
                }
            });


        }

        @Override
        public void onPause() {
            super.onPause();
            getPreferenceScreen().getSharedPreferences().unregisterOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);
        }

        @Override
        public void onResume() {
            super.onResume();
            getPreferenceScreen().getSharedPreferences().registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);
        }
    }
}

The preference xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <PreferenceCategory android:title="My Account">

        <EditTextPreference
            android:key="profile_name"
            android:summary="Taylor Swift"
            android:title="Username" />

        <Preference
            android:key="date"
            android:summary="N.A."
            android:title="@string/date" />

    </PreferenceCategory>

</PreferenceScreen>

The log output for "test" correctly displays the key of the preference but the log within the onclick never fires.

I've created simple project with your code and everything seems to be working fine.

Log.i("test", "2");

is being called when I click "Date" field.
