I deleted b4a and installed a fresh version with all instructions from here - https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html
but the problem still exists

any solution ?

Try to add this line:

#AdditionalJar: androidx.preference:preference

Note that the very old preference library will also be based on the material theme: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/preferenceactivity-library.10609/#content

However I wouldn't have used any of these libraries. Create a nice cross platform form instead with B4XPreferencesDialogs: [B4X] B4XPreferencesDialog - Cross platform forms

However I wouldn't have used any of these libraries. Create a nice cross platform form instead with B4XPreferencesDialogs: [B4X] B4XPreferencesDialog - Cross platform forms

I will try it but is there a solution to the problem on Material Design Preferences ?

Update...

The problem has been resolved

I deleted b4a and installed again, and i deleted all additional libraries and updated them with the latest version
I updated the SDK and now everything is working fine
