You probably couldn't do this dynamically, but you can do it in the manifest with the android:theme attribute. (Because it's in the manifest, the window manager will apply it automatically before your onCreate() is called.)
Here's an example where I inherited from a system Theme, adding a custom background, and then explicitly assigned it to LookupActivity: http://code.google.com/p/wiktionary-android/source/browse/trunk/Wiktionary/res/values/themes.xml?r=2 http://code.google.com/p/wiktionary-android/source/browse/trunk/Wiktionary/AndroidManifest.xml?r=2#27 j On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 12:58 PM, Filipe Abrantes <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > What would be the best way to create a theme programatically and set it > as the theme of an activity.
