Hi all,

I've been kicking the tires on Android programming and have begun to
explore themes.  Based on what I've read on this site regarding the
built in themes, all I should have to do is call setTheme() before I
load the view as follows:

@Override public void onCreate(Bundle SavedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(SavedInstanceState);

setTheme(android.R.style.Theme_Light);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

...
}

I can't find any other requirements so I what I expected here was a
white(ish) background with dark text.  What I get is a black
background with text that is dark grey (making it hard to read).

It works fine when I put the style in the manifest under either the
application or activity element, but what I was hoping was to give the
user the ability to select which theme he/she wanted so setting the
theme programmatically seemed the logical choice.

What am I missing here?

Thanks!

Kevin
