![]() ![]() Now that I’ve convinced you to support dark themes in your app, let’s look at how you add one… Quick start The Android team added the system-wide dark theme setting because it consistently came up as a top requested feature by users. The most important reason though is that your users want it. They help improve visual ergonomics by reducing eye strain, adjusting brightness to current lighting conditions, and facilitating screen use in dark environments - all while conserving battery power. Why support dark theme?įirst up, why support a dark theme at all? The Material.io page on Dark Theme has a good summary on some of the technical benefits (emphasis mine):ĭark themes reduce the luminance emitted by device screens. Meaning that the user has additional control over the theme of the device, but also of apps.Īlongside the recent device-wide setting, we now also have comprehensive design guidance on material.io, which we will talk about later in this blog post. The difference last year was that the platform added a device-wide setting. The default theme for Android devices was dark up until Android 5.0 ( Lollipop)! User selectable dark themes were added to the Android platform in Android 10, but that does not mean they’re new to app developers. This post is going to build upon that to see how we can adapt our apps to support dark themes.
