I would like to see the method too, where you set once for all your activities. But as far I know you have to set in each activity before showing any views.
For reference check this:
http://www.anddev.org/applying_a_theme_to_your_application-t817.html
Edit (copied from that forum):
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Call setTheme before creation of any(!) View.
setTheme(android.R.style.Theme_Dark);
// ...
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
Edit
If you call setTheme
after super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
your activity recreated but if you call setTheme
before super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
your theme will set and activity
does not recreate anymore
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setTheme(android.R.style.Theme_Dark);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// ...
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
