How to get AppCompatDelegate current mode if default is auto

Question

I have activity like this:

package com.nkdroid.daynighttheme;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.supp

You can get the current mode using the following code,

int currentNightMode = getResources().getConfiguration().uiMode
        & Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT_MASK;
switch (currentNightMode) {
    case Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT_NO:
        // Night mode is not active, we're in day time
    case Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT_YES:
        // Night mode is active, we're at night!
    case Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT_UNDEFINED:
        // We don't know what mode we're in, assume notnight
}

The following article by Chris Banes explains it nicely.
