DayNight Ignore Particular Activities

Question

Is it possible to force android to ignore certain activities from switching day to night modes along with other activities?

At the moment a possible workaround is this:

  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
      // Set the local night mode to some value
      getDelegate().setLocalNightMode(
                AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_...);
      // Now recreate for it to take effect
      recreate();
    }
  }
}

However, this forces me to recreate the activity every time. Is it possible to just create it automatically in MODE_NIGHT without recreating it irrespective of what has been set for the rest of the app?

Answer 1

Do it like this

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    getDelegate().setLocalNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_NO);
    // use this to keep mode after exit activity
    // AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_NO);
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}

Call setDefaultNightMode or setLocalNightMode before super.onCreate
