Hi all,
In my app I give the user the option to change the theme, when the user selects a theme then I would like to programmatically change all the accent,primary, text and dialog colors in the app. How can I achieve this?

Hi Erel,
I used the code that you mentioned in the thread. But when using with AppCompact it does not display correctly, see attached screenshot. I tried changing to white material theme as an example. As a result, it adds a second action bar, and it turns the checkboxes black and buttons white making it harder to see.

Yes, I've uploaded a small project that demonstrates this problem. On the dropdown menu, simply select 'Light' and you will see it reproduce.

You set the Theme to Theme.Material.Light which is not an Appcompat theme.

AppCompat can only work with an Appcompat theme.
