Android Question Switch custom material theme on run time

[Pendrush]

I have two themes for app, manifest look like:

CreateResource(values, theme.xml,
<resources>
    <style name="ThemeLight" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar">
    </style>   
</resources>)

CreateResource(values-v21, theme.xml,
<resources>
  <style name="ThemeLight" parent="@android:style/Theme.Material.Light">
       <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
       <item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
       <item name="android:textColor">#000000</item> <!-- menu text,, msgbox title -->
       <item name="android:textColorSecondary">#AAAAAA</item> <!-- inactive editText line,, scrollbar -->
       <item name="android:colorPrimary">#1976D2</item> <!-- action bar -->
       <item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">#EEEEEE</item> <!-- status bar -->
       <item name="android:colorAccent">#1976D2</item> <!-- checkboxes,, switches,, etc. -->
       <item name="android:colorControlNormal">#AAAAAA</item> <!-- inactive checkboxes -->
   </style>
</resources>)

CreateResource(values, themedark.xml,
<resources>
    <style name="ThemeDark" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar">
    </style>   
</resources>)

CreateResource(values-v21, themedark.xml,
<resources>
  <style name="ThemeDark" parent="@android:style/Theme.Material">
       <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
       <item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
       <item name="android:textColor">#FFFFFF</item> <!-- menu text,, msgbox title -->
       <item name="android:textColorSecondary">#AAAAAA</item> <!-- inactive editText line,, scrollbar -->
       <item name="android:colorPrimary">#1976D2</item> <!-- action bar -->
       <item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">#000000</item> <!-- status bar -->
       <item name="android:colorAccent">#1976D2</item> <!-- checkboxes,, switches,, etc. -->
       <item name="android:colorControlNormal">#AAAAAA</item> <!-- inactive checkboxes -->
   </style>
</resources>)

If I set SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@style/ThemeDark") only dark theme work, same is for light SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@style/ThemeLight"), only light theme work.
I'm not able to switch between those two themes on run time with this example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/changing-the-theme-at-runtime.57277/#content

Anyone know proper way or solution?

Don, solution work for default theme but not with custom.

Have you tried to find the resource id of these resources with XmlLayoutBuilder and then change the theme to this id?

 

[Pendrush]

The value of res.GetResourceId("style", "android:style/ThemeLight") and res.GetResourceId("style", "android:style/ThemeDark") is always zero.

 

[DonManfred]

The value of res.GetResourceId("style", "android:style/ThemeLight") and res.GetResourceId("style", "android:style/ThemeDark") is always zero.

It does work with the theme from post #1

SetTheme(res.GetResourceId("style", "ThemeLight"))
