Day Night Mode

Appcompat has come with a new theme family Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.

It has four modes :

  • MODE_NIGHT_NO : the day (light) theme.
  • MODE_NIGHT_YES : the night (dark) theme.
  • MODE_NIGHT_AUTO : day/night mode change according to time.
  • MODE_NIGHT_FOLLOW_SYSTEM (default). this mode uses system night modes settings to determine if it is night or not.

Easy to use

  1. Your theme must uses Theme.AppCompat.DayNight
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primaryColorAmber</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primaryDarkColorAmber</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/secondaryColorAmber</item>
</style>
  1. Your activity must extends AppCompatActivity to change day/night mode at runtime.
getDelegate().setLocalNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES);

Multi Theme

It's very easy to change theme at runtime in android.

  1. First you need to create some well defined themes in xml-styles.
<!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primaryColorAmber</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primaryDarkColorAmber</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/secondaryColorAmber</item>
    </style>

    <style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    </style>

    <style name="AppTheme.RED" parent="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primaryColorRed</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primaryDarkColorRed</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/secondaryColorRed</item>
    </style>

    <style name="AppTheme.PINK" parent="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primaryColorPink</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primaryDarkColorPink</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/secondaryColorPink</item>
    </style>
  1. To change theme at runtime use following code in your base activity onCreate() method and just before setContentView().
// To change theme just put your theme id.
int theme = getThemeFromPreferences(); // R.style.AppTheme_RED
setTheme(theme);
  1. To change theme of your setting/preference activity (from where you are changing theme) you need to recreate that activity by calling following method of that activity.
//store your theme id in preference
saveThemeInPreferences(R.style.AppTheme_RED);
//recreate this activity to see changes
SettingActivity.this.recreate();
