Android Question Device Theme Change Resizes Activity

LWGShane said:

I'm doing a rewrite of my in-house app (B4A via B4XPages) and am trying to implement AppCompat.DayNight. However, I am encountering a weird issue or possible bug where the activity is resized upon changing the device theme. I've attached the project file.

What exactly is going on and is it possible to fix it?

Can you give us a little more context, I downloaded your project and only see a dark screen with a menu on the bottom, can you describe the steps to reproduce the issue?

Like I said, change the device theme (Light/Dark Mode) and the Activity will be resized. (You'll notice that the "Made with love in B4X" will be gone after a theme change.)

As stated in my initial post, upon changing the device theme the activity somehow resizes as seen in my screenshots. It's also not just my app; the bug affects ALL B4A apps, including the B4A Bridge app. (The "Made with Love" view is below the bottom navigation bar after changing the theme.)

We have asked you to show us exactly what steps you are doing to reproduce the issue, you can't expect help if you are not willing to be more descriptive about the issue, in other words we won't spend our time figuring out how to reproduce the issue, you need to include more clear instructions and details about how exactly to reproduce the issue.

I'm not sure how you change the theme, but when the activity is resized it should be destroyed and recreated. I guess that it doesn't happen for some reason and it causes this issue.

f I change the theme via the system settings that's when it happens since the Activity needs to be re-created
