Android Question MaterialPreferenceLibrary

I am aware that the PreferenceActivity libraries do not use Material Design.

I'm thinking about a possibility how to replace it but I'm currently not sure which is the best way. Please be patient.

I'm working on an app that is using AppCompat library. I want entire app to use Material Design including preference activity.
So far, in order to utilize Material Design, I started to craft preference activity manually but it's tedious to make it look and behave right.
MaterialPreferenceLibrary could come extremely handy for my current and future projects - I wish I had enough knowledge to make one and share with B4A community.
For now I have to rely on great contributors like @corwin42 who hopefully made some progress on replacement for PreferenceActivity?
