Theme/Style is not applied when inflater used with ApplicationContext

Question

I have theme that specifies textColor for TextView as red.

I am using LayoutInflater to instantiate TextView. The problem is that styles are not applied to TextView

Answer 1

You probably use a context that isn't one that has a theme.

To solve it, use something as such:

val inflater= LayoutInflater.from(context).cloneInContext(ContextThemeWrapper(context, R.style.some_activity_theme))
