Tearing my hair out over this one. I'm offering the user a choice of several dark or light themes. Setting with getApplication().setTheme() and setTheme() in onCreate of activity (as the first thing in that function).
There's a period while the app loads when the screen goes black. If you have a light desktop, it's very disconcerting (flashes). Of course I could set a fixed white theme in the manifest, but then the inverse problem occurs when user selects a dark theme. Tried everything I can think of e.g. overrode Application, set in Application:onCreate, created a FrontDoor activity that just sets the theme then loads the relevant dedicated Light or Dark activity. It appears Application:setTheme is completely ignored. The current best solution I have is to set a manifest theme with a grey background. Could create dedicated Dark and Light launcher icons, but Any tips ? Pent p.s. tried setting a transparent application theme in the manifest, then you can get a huge delay while data loads. And if Android is short of memory the user keeps seeing the desktop in-between activities. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
