Dark And Light Theme In Android App | Android Studio Tutorial 2020 | Simple Method

This video shows you how you can set dark theme in your android application.
Also implementing the functionality to switch between dark, light and system default theme.
From (Android 10) and above versions we have settings to set dark models it is necessary to make your app support both light and dark mode for better user experience.
So As the android official documentation, these are the three ways to enable Dark theme in Android 10 (API level 29) and higher:
- Use the system setting (Settings - Display - Theme) to enable Dark theme.
- Use the Quick Settings tile to switch themes from the notification tray (once enabled).
- On Pixel devices, selecting the Battery Saver mode enables Dark theme at the same time. Other OEMs may or may not support this behaviour.

For JAVA if anyone, like me needs the code. . .
After setting up your variables etc, this would be how you would do it if you were using Theme.MaterialComponents.NoActionBar:
if (isChecked) {
AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_NO);
} else {
AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES);
}
For AppCompact theme as shown in the video you would use:
if(isChecked)){
getDelegate().setLocalNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES);
}else{
getDelegate().setLocalNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_NO);
}
I have been trying for ages to find this simple trick. Thanks again for the video. Hope this helps someone else too. At least the video got me going on the right path!!

Can you please do the one for multiple activity

[@marlonlom]

so, no point for saving the theme changes ehen pressing the buttons? nor, no preference screen for that? :(

[@87nehal]

The theme changes back after the app is reset.

[@solotechky9548]

Save the theme value in shared preference
