The program has more than one theme possible. The theme is set based on a preference, *before* the content view is set. Does that make a difference?
I can make the same wallpaper theme a parent for my other (gradient drawable) themes. Currently, the other choices inherit from Theme. In this way the code will change only the background and not the theme. In other words, when an Activity in the app displays, if the users choose to set the system wallpaper the theme will be set by the Manifest and only the background is set programmatically in the Activity. However, if the user chooses something else, the other theme will have the wallpaper theme as a parent and setTheme will be called with a resource definition from xml in the values folder. Is this a problem? Do I need to rewrite my code to set the background each time and get the Theme only from the manifest?
