Android : AccountPicker set Light Theme

Question

Is it possible to set the theme of picker dialog ?

import com.google.android.gms.common.AccountPicker;
....
String[] accountTypes = new String[]{"com.google"};
Intent intent = AccountPicker.newChooseAccountIntent(null, null,
                accountTypes, false, null, null, null, null);
activity.startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_PICK_ACCOUNT);

My base app theme is android:Theme.Light but that dialog is dark. Thanks.

@Dayan Not a duplicate. Here poster is asking about changing theme on dialog we don't have control over (we didn't create it). The poster in the question you linked to is asking about changing theme on a dialog he/she created. — tir38, Oct 30 '15 at 18:02

If you wish to change the theme of the dialog, you should change the newChooseAccountIntent to zza and add two integer arguments. The first one is for overriding the theme and setting it to 1 will change the dialog theme to light.

String[] accountTypes = new String[]{"com.google"};
Intent intent = AccountPicker.zza(null, null, accountTypes, false, null, null, null, null, false, 1, 0);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_PICK_ACCOUNT);

I couldn't find any documentation or code that would answer this question. You can experiment with it a little and let us know if you find out anything more about it :) – neits Sep 23 '15 at 09:37

FYI, it seems like this is an internal/private API... so using this could break in the future. – Alex Lockwood Jan 10 '16 at 01:22
From GMS 16.x.x this method is gone. But still, you can use `val intent = AccountPicker.newChooseAccountIntent` and after: `intent.putExtra("overrideTheme", 1)` and it works :) – mtrakal Oct 03 '18 at 15:07
why the 'zza' method? – Marlon López Nov 02 '20 at 20:57

you can change it when you overwrite over any args are defined in a parent class in method newChooseAccountIntent(Account var0, ArrayList<Account> var1, String[] var2, boolean var3, String var4, String var5, String[] var6, Bundle var7) {}

it is very simple to change it by adding it to your code...

Intent intent = AccountPicker.newChooseAccountIntent(null, null, new String[]{GoogleAuthUtil.GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_TYPE}, false, null, null, null, null). putExtra("overrideTheme", 1); startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_EMAIL);

1 means the Light Theme

0 means the Dark Theme

its is not working on android 10 google pixel 2 can you tell me why? — Mateen Chaudhry, Dec 26 '19 at 07:08
