require

• support appcompat 23.2.0 or above
• activity extends AppCompatActivity
• follow Android official nigh model guidance

import

1. Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

	allprojects {
		repositories {
			...
			maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}

2. Add the dependency

	dependencies {
	        compile 'com.github.achenglike:NightModel:x.x'
	}

use

1. set NightModel in Application

   public class AppApplication extends Application {
   
   @Override
   public void onCreate() {
       super.onCreate();
       NightModelManager.getInstance().init(this);
       ...
   }
   }
   
   

2. attach and detach in Activity which need refresh, not every Activity

   public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
   		// must before super.onCreate
       NightModelManager.getInstance().attach(this);
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   }
   
   ...
   
   @Override
   protected void onDestroy() {
       NightModelManager.getInstance().detach(this);
       super.onDestroy();
   }
   }
   

3. for stop Activity restart, we need config configChanges="uiMode" in Androidmanifest.xml

   <activity
       android:name=".MainActivity"
       android:label="@string/app_name"
       android:configChanges="uiMode"
       android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
   </activity>
   

4. call night/day method

   private void changeNightModel() {
   if (NightModelManager.getInstance().isCurrentNightModel(this)) {
   	NightModelManager.getInstance().applyDayModel(this);
   } else {
   	NightModelManager.getInstance().applyNightModel(this);
    	}
   }
   

warn

1. this lib used for resolving the problem that official night model can not refresh started Activities. So, only attach and detach in Activities that need refresh. It's a supplementary lib for official night model.

2. When create View dynamically in attached Activity with code, you should write like this:

   View view = LayoutInflater.from(MainActivity.this).inflate(R.layout.item_layout, parentView, false);
   

   because the lib need cache this View, use LayoutInflater.from(MainActivity.this) will use the proxy LayoutInflaterFactory create this View and cache it

3. style:@style/xx just support TextView (android:textColor or android:textSize) now

4. this lib version 2.1 and before support version 26 and below 26.

5. this lib version 2.2 and later only support android support lib version 26 and later.

6. if we set a selector as background for View, night mode not work.
