I could probably do some of the stuff through themes, like setting the windowBackground, but if for example my layout has an imageView and I want to have the image change depending on subject I can't see any way to do this through themes.
The ideal solution would be if you could specify custom qualifiers on resource folders, so I could have folders like drawable-subject1, drawable-subject2 and then specify in my activity which folder to use. This would allow for just one set of layout files and an infinite amount of subjects to be added without any code changes.
