The development team has fixed the issue that you have reported and it will be available in a future build.

The issue marked as fixed after 1.0.0-alpha1 in July but can still be reproduced in final 1.0.0 release in September. Should we reopen the ticket as not fixed or the changes have not been merged into the release yet?

Same in 1.0.0.

It does not works for me too in 1.0.0

Not fixed

The issue is still present in 1.0.0 for me.

The issue is still in v1.0.0.

I'm facing the same issue in androidx.legacy:legacy-preference-v14:1.0.0 too (while this ticket refers to androidx.preference:preference:1.0.0)

Unfortunately, the issue is still in androidx.preference v1.0.0

Hi all,

This unfortunately missed 1.0.0, but will available in a future release.

Is there a date for it? It would be good to know if investing time for a workaround is worth it. Thanks in advance e fir a reply!

The  app:iconSpaceReserved="false" do not works in PreferenceCategory title .Is there any alternate method .

I have implemented a solution similar to the one in https://stackoverflow.com/a/52573593/1180091 and it is working as a temporary workaround.

not working for me as well, style: Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar

@13 Is the fix available now?

This fix is available in the latest release, Preference 1.1.0 Alpha 01.

Release notes: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/androidx-rn#2018-nov-preference

@19 Thank you. Now can you please add an option to set it for the whole PreferenceFragment without any tricks on our side?

@19 Correction: PreferenceFragmentCompat

@19 Here's a request about it:

This is not working for me in 1.1.0-alpha04

Could you clarify please? What isn't working?

Sorry, app:iconSpaceReserved="false" doesn't seem to be recognized.  This my code:

<androidx.preference.PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <PreferenceCategory android:key="display_settings" android:title="@string/settings_podcasts_settings_title_display" app:iconSpaceReserved="false">

                <ListPreference
                        android:key="pref_theme"
                        android:title="Title"
                        android:entries="@array/theme_options_text"
                        android:entryValues="@array/theme_options_values"
                        android:defaultValue="0"
                        android:icon="@drawable/ic_setting_dropdown_indicator"
                        android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
                        app:iconSpaceReserved="false"
                        />
                       
                <ListPreference
                        android:key="pref_header_color"
                        android:title="Color"
                        android:entries="@array/header_color_text"
                        android:entryValues="@array/header_color_values"
                        android:icon="@drawable/ic_setting_dropdown_indicator"
                        android:defaultValue="10"
                        app:iconSpaceReserved="false"
                        />

    </PreferenceCategory>
</androidx.preference.PreferenceScreen>


As you can see, there is a huge amount of space between the image and text.  Setting app:iconSpaceReserved to true or removing doesn't change anything. I do have a style set on the activity to add padding to the entire preference:

    <style name="Theme.PrefSettings" parent="Main">
        <item name="android:paddingLeft">5dp</item>
        <item name="android:paddingRight">5dp</item>
    </style>

Manifest entry:

        <activity android:name=".Settings.SettingsPodcastsDisplayActivity" android:theme="@style/Theme.PrefSettings" />

My app is for WearOs so I can't afford to have that much space between the icon and text if the space is by design.  If it is supposed to be there we need some kind of wearable preference because WearOS apps don't have the screen size luxury of phone apps.

This is a separate issue - there isn't a Wear OS specific theme / support in AndroidX. Could you add this comment to issue 73628225?

Man, Google really treats WearOS like a second class citizen.

I'm getting an "Access denied" error on the issue you linked.

Apologies, should be issue 73183201 instead

I just converted all of my preferences over to AndroidX only to find out WearOS isn't supported yet and I've just spent the last hour reverting all my changes.

Sorry ignore this,  I mean to write it on the other issue

Unfortunately, in the official version of 1.1.0, the issue of iconSpaceReserved still exists.

Could you clarify exactly what issue you are facing?

#31 it is sovled, u need add     app:iconSpaceReserved="false"
