I'm trying to automatically refresh appWidget's layout when user changes Day/Night mode.

I have my "day layout" into layout folder, and my "night layout" into layout-night folder.

It's the good layout when the AppWidget just installed... but layout never changes when I change Day/Night's mode.

AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_FOLLOW_SYSTEM );

is set in my Application class.

How to detect the system's Day / Night mode change into an AppWidget to refresh it, please ?

What Android version are you testing this on? – Saurabh Thorat May 06 '20 at 14:05

I would argue that it is the launcher's responsibility to detect the dark mode change and tell all the app widgets to update using the normal update communications path. – CommonsWare May 06 '20 at 14:13
Thanks for yours responses. Same things happens with Gmail's appWidget.... but Google Now's appWidget well follows mode :/ I will try with another smartphone or launcher. – Sebago May 06 '20 at 14:24
