How to change current Theme at runtime in Android

I want to set in the PreferenceScreen a theme for my whole app. Is there any way to do it global for all activities (not explicit in onCreate with setTheme)?

Update: I know the manifest entry theme, but how can I chance it dynamic at runtime?

I'm pretty sure you can set the app theme by setting it in the manifest file. You want to add the following to your application element.

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light"

Switch the mentioned theme for the one you want to use.

Here's a link to the Android docs for the application element: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/application-element.html

I know the manifest entry for the theme, but how can I chance it dynamic (at runtime)? – mars3142 Apr 13 '12 at 07:41
