In particular cases I need to remove dialog theme from my activity but it doesn't seem to be working. Here's an example
First activity:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class));
}
Second activity:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setTheme(android.R.style.Theme);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);
}
Manifest excerpt:
<activity android:name="SecondActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"></activity>
When I run it's still dialog themed.

Thanks.
This question is related to
android
As docs say you have to call setTheme
before any view output. It seems that super.onCreate()
takes part in view
processing.
So, to switch between themes dynamically you simply need to call setTheme
before super.onCreate
like this:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setTheme(android.R.style.Theme);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);
}
user1462299's response works great, but if you include fragments, they will use the original activities theme. To apply the theme to all fragments as well you can override the getTheme() method of the Context instead:
@Override
public Resources.Theme getTheme() {
Resources.Theme theme = super.getTheme();
if(useAlternativeTheme){
theme.applyStyle(R.style.AlternativeTheme, true);
}
// you could also use a switch if you have many themes that could apply
return theme;
}
You do not need to call setTheme() in the onCreate() Method anymore. You are overriding every request to get the current theme within this context this way.
This one works fine for me :
theme.applyStyle(R.style.AppTheme, true)
Usage:
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
//The call goes right after super.onCreate() and before setContentView()
theme.applyStyle(R.style.AppTheme, true)
setContentView(layoutId)
onViewCreated(savedInstanceState)
}
I know that i am late but i would like to post a solution here:
Check the full source code here.
This is the code i used when changing theme using preferences..
SharedPreferences pref = PreferenceManager
.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
String themeName = pref.getString("prefSyncFrequency3", "Theme1");
if (themeName.equals("Africa")) {
setTheme(R.style.AppTheme);
} else if (themeName.equals("Colorful Beach")) {
//Toast.makeText(this, "set theme", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
setTheme(R.style.beach);
} else if (themeName.equals("Abstract")) {
//Toast.makeText(this, "set theme", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
setTheme(R.style.abstract2);
} else if (themeName.equals("Default")) {
setTheme(R.style.defaulttheme);
}
Please note that you have to put the code before setcontentview..
HAPPY CODING!
I have used this code to implement dark mode...it worked fine for me...You can use it in a switch on....listener...
//setting up Night Mode...
AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES);
//Store current mode in a sharedprefernce to retrieve on restarting app
editor.putBoolean("NightMode", true);
editor.apply();
//restart all the activities to apply changed mode...
TaskStackBuilder.create(getActivity())
.addNextIntent(new Intent(getActivity(), MainActivity.class))
.addNextIntent(getActivity().getIntent())
.startActivities();
