Note: System services obtained via this API may be closely associated with the Context in which they are obtained from. In general, do not share the service objects between various different contexts (Activities, Applications, Services, Providers, etc.)

Parameters
name The name of the desired service.
Returns
  • The service or null if the name does not exist.

public void setTheme (int resid)

Parameters
resid The style resource describing the theme.

Protected Methods

protected void attachBaseContext (Context newBase)

Added in API level 1

Parameters
