Android Question [solved] Change theme with TabStrip

[angel_]

I am trying to change the Theme on the Page2 of this example with TabStrip using Buttons 1 to 4, but it does not work.

Any sugestion?

Manifest:

AddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" android:targetSdkVersion="26"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"
    android:normalScreens="true"
    android:smallScreens="true"
    android:anyDensity="true"/>)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")
'End of default text.

'ADD NEW
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, Themes.DarkTheme)

'********* TabStrip ***********************
CreateResource(drawable, background_tab.xml,
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:exitFadeDuration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime">
    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@color/background_tab_pressed" />
    <item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@color/background_tab_pressed"/>
    <item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent"/>
</selector>)
CreateResource(values, colors.xml,
<resources>
    <color name="background_tab_pressed">#6633B5E5</color>
</resources>)
'******************************************

'ADD NEW
CreateResource(values, theme.xml,
<resources>
    <style name="MyAppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.NoActionBar">
    </style>
</resources>
)

Set application theme to MyAppTheme

Set application theme to MyAppTheme

I don't find that line

 

[angel_]

I added:

Manifest:

SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@style/MyAppTheme")

Main:

#Extends: android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity

Buttons change but the page not change color background.

And where did you used that
background_tab.xml drawable?

 

[Brandsum]

You can create your own night and day theme. Put your light theme file in values folder and night theme file in values-night folder

I've tried several things but it still doesn't work

You should remove this line: CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, Themes.DarkTheme)

If it still doesn't work then please upload the project.

This is the example, I want to change the theme with the buttons of the Page2.

 

[Erel]

The correct way to check the current theme is in Activity_Resume:

Sub Activity_Resume
   Log("Is night mode: " & IsNightMode)
End Sub

The activity is recreated when the theme changes.

Your code works properly. Don't expect the TabStrip colors to change automatically. You will need to change them yourself.

All right, and I can't do something like this example with tabstrip:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/changing-the-theme-at-runtime.57277/#content

Where the theme changes in runtime.

 

[Erel]

You are confusing different things. There is no relation between TabStrip and the theme. What exactly are you trying to do?

 

[angel_]

I want to change dark/light theme in runtime inside the app, where the user can change the theme when wants.

 

[Erel]

The system theme will not affect the TabStrip colors.

Set the TabStrip background color to transparent in the designer. Put it inside a panel. You can then change the panel's color to change the TabStrip background.

It was that, thank you
