how to change background color by changing the theme in android?

Question

I want to change the background color when I change the theme in android. Is there a way to set the background in XML like

android:background="@styles/colorAccent"

so when I change the theme the background color automatically changes to the colorAccent of the respective theme. Any alternate approach would also help.

Answer 1

Sample layout

 <FrameLayout
    style="@style/colorAccentStyle"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content/>

styles.xml

<resources>

<style name="colorAccentStyle">
    <item name="android:background">?colorAccent</item>
</style>

Simpler solution

<FrameLayout
    android:background="?colorAccent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
