Change toolbar theme programmatically

Question

My code is:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
        app:theme="@style/Toolbar_Theme"/>

I want to change app:theme in java code. Can i find any method as toolbar.setTheme which used to change style of toolbar?

You can only change the background color and the title color using code : toolbar.setBackgroundColor(newColor); toolbar.setTitleTextColor(titleColor); — mariuss, Oct 04 '15 at 09:05

You can change it programmatically like this:

Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);

toolbar.getContext().setTheme(R.style.ThemeOverlay_AppCompat_Dark_ActionBar);

This will chage the parent context theme and can mess with other properties not related with the toolbar. – Ian Medeiros Apr 12 '18 at 13:51

One -1 for copying, just reference the previous solution. – Pedro Varela Apr 18 '19 at 18:02
So many down votes because the solution is not effective for the developers community, so for me, and found as copy paste answer with no reference of the source. – Hassan Jamil Dec 02 '19 at 08:09
This change the activity's entire theme, not just for the toolbar – Ollie Strevel Oct 23 '20 at 18:36
