Customizing Android Studio Theme: A Step-by-Step Guide

Android Studio provides an extensive range of customization options, allowing developers to personalize their development environment according to their preferences. One such area is customizing the theme of your Android application or Android Studio itself. In this article, we will explore how to customize the theme in Android Studio and change it programmatically.

To begin with, let's understand how we refer to our custom attributes in the main screen. We use the '?attr' syntax, for example, '?attr/textColor'. This helps us to access our custom attributes easily. In our case, we have created two themes - Theme1 and Theme2. Each theme consists of three essential elements: text color, background, and text size.

To group our custom attributes together, we need to define a style and assign some values to them. For instance, we can create a few color resources before defining the style attributes and assigning values. This is similar to declaring variables in your program.

We will define custom attributes using the 'attr' element in the AndroidManifest.xml file. Let's try these steps on our example:

1. Set the theme by calling the 'tTheme(resource)' function.

2. Apply the theme programmatically before calling 'super.onCreate()' and 'setContentView()'.

3. Set layout attributes to the custom attributes defined.

When we group a set of style attributes and give it a name, it becomes our theme. We can define values for colors, dimensions, and associate them with proper names. If we want to use any custom attributes, we need to define those attributes first.

Now, let's take care of 'android change theme programmatically'. After selecting the theme, when we go back to our activity, we want the theme to be applied automatically. We also want to provide a new setting that allows users to choose from a list of themes. In this article, we will see how to change the theme dynamically and apply it programatically.

By following these steps, you can customize your Android Studio theme according to your preferences and change it programmatically as needed.
