Answer 1

Make sure to change the default theme from Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar to Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.DarkActionBar in the styles.xml file and then do AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES) to switch to the night mode. I have tested it in APIv23(Android 6.0) and above and it is working fine. For a better explanation see this codelab by Android
