For the colors I like approach, where I define generic color names in colors.xml: Īnd then I keep theme-specific colors in different files: In my example, I used dark mode-specific folders only for drawable and values. Below, I have shown how dark mode-specific resources look in Android Studio: So as you can see, nearly every resource can be different in Dark theme. The next step is to put dark mode-specific resources in a folder with the -night suffix. The first one is to replace the parent theme in styles.xml with when the application is using AppCompat and when using the MaterialComponents theme. To take advantage of Dark theme in an app, you need to take a few simple steps: If both the default and local night modes are set to this value, then the default value of MODE_NIGHT_FOLLOW_SYSTEM is applied. This is primarily used with setLocalNightMode(int), to allow the default night mode to be used. The default on all systems is MODE_NIGHT_UNSPECIFIED, but as we can read in the documentation:Īn unspecified mode for night mode. To set a specific mode, all we need to do is to call one static method tDefaultNightMode(mode) with one of the modes. For Android 10 or newer -> MODE_NIGHT_FOLLOW_SYSTEM.For Android 9 or older -> MODE_NIGHT_AUTO_BATTERY.
Since MODE_NIGHT_FOLLOW_SYSTEM is the only option that does not take effect in Android 9 or older, we can freely use other ones.MODE_NIGHT_FOLLOW_SYSTEM -> Turns on Dark theme when Dark theme toggle is turned on in settings.MODE_NIGHT_AUTO_BATTERY -> Turns on Dark theme when battery optimization is turned on in settings.MODE_NIGHT_YES -> Forces app to turn on Dark theme.MODE_NIGHT_NO -> Forces app to turn on Light theme.MODE_NIGHT_UNSPECIFIED -> Unspecified setting.While Dark theme was introduced in Android 10, older devices can take advantage of it! Wouldn’t it be great to make the system and apps dark with a single click or even have it turned on automatically? Well, Android 10 makes it much more user-friendly both for the end-user and the developer. Some apps support more eye-friendly themes at night, but every application needs to be configured separately. Most likely everyone would agree that using very bright applications at night is uncomfortable. In my opinion, one of the most interesting is the Dark theme. We set the theme, immediately in the Activity’s onCreate().Android 10 brings us lots of new features. Those familiar with switching themes before DayNight, will feel right at home. Next, you have to tell our app to take advantage of this. Start by changing your parent theme in values/styles.xml. You can inherit from any of the following themes: Ideally, you want users to set this via Settings ( SharedPreferences). This is how apps would handle theme switching before, but let’s look at a better alternative. IsDarkTheme is a boolean to check if Dark Theme must be enabled. SetTheme(isDarkTheme? R.style.MyDarkTheme : R.style.MyLightTheme)
