Change the project theme in Android Studio?

Question

I created some project using the light theme and now I want to change it to dark and I can't figure out how to do that. BTW, I'm not asking on how to do it in code, just how to change the project's default theme.

In the AndroidManifest.xml, under the application tag, you can set the theme of your choice. To customize the theme, press Ctrl + Click on android:theme = "@style/AppTheme" in the Android manifest file. It will open styles.xml file where you can change the parent attribute of the style tag.

At parent= in styles.xml you can browse all available styles by using auto-complete inside the "". E.g. try parent="Theme." with your cursor right after the . and then pressing Ctrl + Space.

You can also preview themes in the preview window in Android Studio.
