Change the project theme in Android Studio?

android, android-studio, android-theme

Solution

In the AndroidManifest.xml, under the application tag, you can set the theme of your choice. To customize the theme, press `Ctrl + Click` on `android:theme = "@style/AppTheme"` in the Android manifest file. It will open `styles.xml` file where you can change the parent attribute of the style tag.

At `parent=` in `styles.xml` you can browse all available styles by using auto-complete inside the `""`. E.g. try `parent="Theme."` with your cursor right after the `.` and then pressing `Ctrl + Space`.

You can also preview themes in the preview window in Android Studio.

Problem

I created some project using the light theme and now I want to change it to dark and I can't figure out how to do that. BTW, I'm not asking on how to do it in code, just how to change the project's default theme.
