Drawable file wont change color in Dark Mode

Time:10-14

Im currently working on a LoginActivity, I wanted to make an rounded Linear to put the Edittext's inside, I used an XML file to round the corners of them, but the only problem is, that they wont change their color in dark mode.

I already used the colors from the @colors file, but it wont affect at all, I tried to use cardview instead of a Linearview with an drawable file as background, but it breaks the layout.

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <solid android:color="@color/design_default_color_on_primary"/>
    <stroke android:width="0dp" android:color="#B1BCBE" />
    <corners android:radius="20dp"/>
    <padding android:left="0dp" android:top="0dp" android:right="0dp" android:bottom="0dp" />
</shape>

LoginActivity.xml:

Maybe someone knows to fix this issue.

CodePudding user response:

To support dark mode you need separate colors.xml file for night version. To create colors file for night mode. Follow these steps. Right click on values folder New > Value Resource File In the Available Qualifiers search for Night mode and click on (>>) button. From the drop down select Night Name the file as colors

And define all the night mode colors here

Names of the colors will be same as Non-Night colors file

Another way to create colors.xml for night mode is On top left corner click on Android and Switch to project, Go to folder app > src > main > res and create a new folder and name it values-night and inside that folder create and xml file named as colors.xml
