What’s Dynamic Theme

Dynamic Theme is a Material Design-based Theme Management System for Android Jetpack Compose. Up until now, changing the theme on Android has been a very difficult task. Dynamic Theme was created to make Android’s theme management easy. Theming can be applied by simply adding ‘ProvidesTheme’ to the top-level declaration in Jetpack Compose.

class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContent {
            DynamicThemeService.getInstance(applicationContext).ProvidesTheme {
                // Add Compose Functions
            }
        }
    }
}

Since this theme management system is based on Material2, knowledge of the Material2 Color System is required to use this library.

Getting Started

Add the mavenCentral() on project level(root level) build.gradle file:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

Add dependency on module level build.gradle file:

build.gradle

dependencies {
    implementation "io.github.seyoungcho2:dynamic-theme-compose:0.0.1"
}

If using build.gradle.kts

build.gradle.kts

dependencies {
    implementation("io.github.seyoungcho2:dynamic-theme-compose:0.0.1")
}

ThemeModelKey

The ThemeModelKey is used to register the ThemeModel and access the registered ThemeModel.

  • ThemeModelKey can be declared by using the function on ThemeModelKey
val THEME_MODEL_KEY_BLUE = ThemeModelKey.of("Blue")
  • ThemeModelKey.Default is predefined for the default theme. If the current theme is not set, then ThemeModelKey.Default is used to retrieve the ThemeModel. Alternatively, you can also access the default ThemeModel using it.
DynamicThemeService.getInstance(context).getThemeModel(ThemeModelKey.Default)

ThemeModel

The ThemeModel is a data class for saving themes. It contains three parameters:

  • ColorPalette: Color combinations for the theme.
  • Typography: Configurations of typography for the theme.
  • Shapes: Shape configurations for the theme.”
data class ThemeModel(
    val colorPalette: ColorPalette = ColorPalette(),
    val typography: Typography = Typography(),
    val shapes: Shapes = Shapes()
)

I will briefly explain these three parameters in the following sections. However, you don’t need to define all of them. You only need to set up the specific parts you want to customize, as shown below.

val THEME_MODEL_KEY_BLUE = ThemeModelKey.of("Blue")
private val THEME_MODEL_BLUE = ThemeModel(
    colorPalette = ColorPalette(
        lightModeColors = ColorPalettes.BlueColorPalette,
        darkModeColors = ColorPalettes.BlueColorPalette,
    )
)

ColorPalette

The ColorPalette contains two parameters: ‘lightModeColors’ for the Light Theme and ‘darkModeColors’ for the Dark Theme. When the device is set to dark mode on system, the darkModeColors are automatically used.

data class ColorPalette(
    val lightModeColors: Colors = LightModeColorPalette,
    val darkModeColors: Colors = DarkModeColorPalette
)

Colors class is Material2 class which consist of primary, primaryVariant, secondary, secondaryVariant, background, surface, error, onPrimary, onSecondary, onBackground, onSurface, onError, isLight variables. You can find more about color system on Material2 Color System, Material2 Color Document

Typography

Typography contains design data for characters. This is also part of Material2 Typography System. You will probably see familiar things like h1, h2, h3, subtitle1, subtitle2, body1, body2. Which are used to build heirarchy of characters. See Material2 Typography

Shapes

See Material2 Shapes document

How to use DynamicThemeService

DynamicThemeService is initialized as a singleton object by using DynamicThemeService.getInstance(applicationContext). it has following responsibilities:

  • Register Themes
  • Get Registered Themes
  • Set Current Theme
  • Get Current Theme
  • Provide Theme Composable with Current Theme
  • Provide Theme Composable with ThemeModel

Register Themes

Registering both single and multiple theme supported. Default theme can also be changed.

Single Theme Registration

DynamicThemeService.getInstance(applicationContext).apply {
    registerThemeModel(
        ThemeModelKey.of("Pink"), ThemeModel(
            colorPalette = ColorPalette(
                lightModeColors = ColorPalettes.PinkColorPalette,
                darkModeColors = ColorPalettes.PinkColorPalette,
            ),
            shapes = Shapes.DEFAULT_ROUNDED_SHAPE
        )
    )

    registerThemeModel(
        ThemeModelKey.of("Blue"), ThemeModel(
            colorPalette = ColorPalette(
                lightModeColors = ColorPalettes.BlueColorPalette,
                darkModeColors = ColorPalettes.BlueColorPalette,
            )
        )
    )
}

Multiple Theme Registration

DynamicThemeService.getInstance(applicationContext).apply {
    registerThemeModels(ThemeModels.getSupportedThemeModels())
}

fun getSupportedThemeModels(): Map<ThemeModelKey, ThemeModel> = mapOf(
    THEME_MODEL_KEY_DEFAULT to THEME_MODEL_DEFAULT,
    THEME_MODEL_KEY_BLACK to THEME_MODEL_BLACK,
    THEME_MODEL_KEY_PINK to THEME_MODEL_PINK,
    THEME_MODEL_KEY_BLUE to THEME_MODEL_BLUE,
    THEME_MODEL_KEY_WHITE to THEME_MODEL_WHITE
)

Register Default Theme

DynamicThemeService.getInstance(applicationContext).apply {
    registerThemeModel(
        ThemeModelKey.Default, ThemeModel(
            colorPalette = ColorPalette(
                lightModeColors = ColorPalettes.BlueColorPalette,
                darkModeColors = ColorPalettes.BlueColorPalette,
            )
        )
    )
}

Get Registered Themes

Get Single Registered Theme

Get All Registered Themes

val registeredThemes: Map<ThemeModelKey, ThemeModel> = DynamicThemeService.getInstance(applicationContext).getRegisteredThemes()

Set Current Theme

suspend fun setCurrentTheme(themeModelKey: ThemeModelKey){
    DynamicThemeService.getInstance(applicationContext).setCurrentTheme(themeModelKey)
}

Get Current Theme

Get Current Theme

val currentThemeModel: ThemeModel = async { DynamicThemeService.getInstance(applicationContext).getCurrentThemeModel() }.await()

Get Current Theme with Reactively with Flow

val currentThemeModelFlow: Flow<ThemeModel> = DynamicThemeService.getInstance(applicationContext).currentThemeModel

Provide Current Theme Composable

DynamicThemeService.getInstance(applicationContext).ProvidesTheme {
    // Write Composable Functions
}

Provide Theme Composable with ThemeModel

DynamicThemeService.getInstance(applicationContext).ProvidesTheme(themeModel) {
    // Write Composable Functions
}
