I managed to set the textColor from a theme from another package by using
an override of OnApplyThemeResource of the Activity:
protected override void OnApplyThemeResource(Resources.Theme theme,
int resId, bool first)
{
if (first)
{
var
Ok, if I forget about using different drawables, and keep my external theme
to modifying current's theme existing attributes only, will that be
possible?
I've seen the method Resources.Theme.setTo(other) which has the following
desc.:
Set this theme to hold the same contents as the theme

If it's your own application then read about library projects.
Otherwise unless the app you are reading resources from is available under

could be infringing copyright.
If the app is open source then just download it and
Hi Richard, thanks for the reply.

I have a setting to allow the user the select light/dark theme in the app.
This works great.
Now the themes are pretty heavy in graphics, since they define not only
styling but different drawables
You can't really do this by simply pointing to a theme. The resources
object is used across the view hierarchy to load resources; to set the
theme from another apk you will need to have the resources coming from
there, but then you won't be able to access any of your own resources that
you need
Hi Dianne, thanks for the info.
I've seen methods like Resources.Theme.applyStyle which capable of
overriding existing attributes with a supplied style resource-id, which
would have been useful if I could tell it from what resource to get the
resource-id from.
