*react-native*: Not FoundSteps to reproduce
after creating a react native project.
[1] create a values-night/colors.xml and values/colors.xml inside android/app/src/main/res
[2] add both dark mode and light mode colors to both colors.xml files accordingly.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<color name="text">#000000</color>
<color name="background">#FFFFFF</color>
</resources><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<color name="text">#FFFFFF</color>
<color name="background">#000000</color>
</resources>[3] rebuild the app.
[4] change your device theme from settings
observation:
colors don't react to the device theme.
[5] try changing your device theme then reloading from dev menu.
observation:
colors change & respect the device theme after reload.
[6] removing uiMode from android:configChanges inside inside AndroidManifest.xml does resolve the issue however it's performant ( the application would then be torn down and recreated with the theme change ).
