In many  Android Application we are use that feature .User can set their theme color of Android Application  Dynamically .This feature helps to  make your App more Attractive.So, In this Tutorial we are create a basic application which helps to know about how it works and helps to use in your application
So, Let's Get Start Now 
1 .  Create a new Project and  take An Blank Activity  name as MainActivity 
2 .  Create a One new  Java Class named as themeUtils.java where we are creating  Dynamic theme 
      on menu option click

We are provided step by guide which helps to create dynamic themes on one click in Android Application

 Step-1

 First we  define different  theme colors  in  color.xml file which helps to create styles of themes in your style.xml  your project
 Insert this code in color.xml inside the <resource></resource> (res->values->color.xml)

 <resources>
<color name="transparent">#7FFFFFFF</color>

<color name="white">#FFFFFF</color>
<color name="Olive">#556B2F</color>
<color name="colorPrimaryPinkDark">#E91E63</color>
<color name="colorPrimaryTeal">#00897B</color>
<color name="colorPrimaryTealDark">#009688</color>
<color name="colorPrimaryBlue">#3949AB</color>
<color name="colorPrimaryBlueDark">#3F51B5</color>
<color name="colorPrimaryGreen">#4CAF50</color>
<color name="colorPrimaryGreenDark">#4CAF50</color>
</resources>

 Step-2

After  insert colors in color.xml file the we are creating style in style.xml file of your project
(res->values->style.xml) inside <resources></resources>  Tag 

<style name="SkyTheme" >
  <!-- Customize your theme here. -->  <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
  <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
  <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>


<style name="PinkTheme" >
  <!-- Customize your theme here. -->  <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimaryPinkDark</item>
  <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorAccent</item>
  <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorPrimaryPinkDark</item>
</style>







<style name="TealTheme">
  <!-- Customize your theme here. -->  <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimaryTeal</item>
  <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryTealDark</item>
  <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorPrimaryTeal</item>
</style>

<style name="GreenTheme">
  <!-- Customize your theme here. -->  <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimaryGreen</item>
  <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryGreenDark</item>
  <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorPrimaryGreen</item>
</style>

<style name="BlueTheme">
  <!-- Customize your theme here. -->  <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimaryBlue</item>
  <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryBlueDark</item>
  <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorPrimaryBlue</item>
</style>






Step-3


 


Create menu option in menu.xml file (res->menu->menu.xml) inside the <menu></menu> Tag


<item  android:id="@+id/color_green"  android:orderInCategory="100"  android:title="Green"  app:showAsAction="never" />
<item  android:id="@+id/color_teal"  android:orderInCategory="100"  android:title="Teal"  app:showAsAction="never" />
<item  android:id="@+id/color_blue"  android:orderInCategory="100"  android:title="Blue"  app:showAsAction="never" />
<item  android:id="@+id/color_pink"  android:orderInCategory="100"  android:title="Pink"  app:showAsAction="never" />
<item  android:id="@+id/color_sky"  android:orderInCategory="100"  android:title="SkyBlue"  android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"  app:showAsAction="never" />








Step-4



Then move to themeUtils.java file where we create  theme at runtime on menu option click



 Inside the themeutils.java  insert these lines of code


public class themeUtils {
private static int cTheme;
public final static int SKYBLUE = 0;
public final static int TEAL = 1;
public final static int BLUE = 2;
public final static int GREEN = 3;
public final static int PINK = 4;
public static void changeToTheme(Activity activity, int theme)
{
cTheme = theme;
activity.finish();
activity.startActivity(new Intent(activity, activity.getClass()));
}
public static void onActivityCreateSetTheme(Activity activity)
{
switch (cTheme)
{
default:
activity.setTheme(R.style.PinkTheme);
break;
case PINK:
activity.setTheme(R.style.PinkTheme);
break;
case TEAL:
activity.setTheme(R.style.TealTheme);
break;
case BLUE:
activity.setTheme(R.style.BlueTheme);
break;
case GREEN:
activity.setTheme(R.style.GreenTheme);
break;
case SKYBLUE:
activity.setTheme(R.style.SkyTheme);

}
}
}







Step-5







After insert all the code in a proper way we are edit MainActivity.java  file . Override onOptionsItemSelected() Method 



  






public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
themeUtils.onActivityCreateSetTheme(this);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
.setAction("Action", null).show();
}
});
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();

if (id == R.id.color_green) {
themeUtils.changeToTheme(this, themeUtils.GREEN);
return true;
}
else if (id == R.id.color_teal) {
themeUtils.changeToTheme(this, themeUtils.TEAL);
return true;
}
else if (id == R.id.color_blue) {
themeUtils.changeToTheme(this, themeUtils.BLUE);
return true;
}
else if (id == R.id.color_pink) {
themeUtils.changeToTheme(this, themeUtils.PINK);
return true;
}
else if (id == R.id.color_sky) {
themeUtils.changeToTheme(this, themeUtils.SKYBLUE);
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}

Expected a key while parsing a block mapping (Flutter)
