Java – change Android material theme at runtime

I have a setup screen for changing the application theme at runtime. I know how to create a material design theme. I have created one in my style.xml file

This is the code for my style.xml:

 <style name="AppTheme" parent="AppTheme.Base"/>

    <style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primaryBackground</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primaryBackground</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
        <item name="android:colorControlNormal">@color/primaryBackground</item>
        <item name="android:colorControlActivated">@color/primaryBackground</item>
        <item name="android:colorControlHighlight">@color/primaryBackground</item>
        <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/primaryBackground</item>
        <item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/primaryBackground</item>
        <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@style/WindowAnimationTransition</item>
        <item name="android:textCursorDrawable">@drawable/cursor_indicator</item>
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    </style>

Now, I want to change the runtime application theme from green to purple or yellow. Anyone can tell me how to create a color selector from theme selection and how to create multiple themes in style.xml to change them to runtime

Have you seen this demonstration?

MultipleThemeMaterialDesign

See this class:

public class Preferences {

    private static final BoolToStringPref[] PREF_MIGRATION = new BoolToStringPref[]{
            new BoolToStringPref(R.string.pref_dark_theme, false,
                    R.string.pref_theme, R.string.pref_theme_value_red),
    };

    public static void sync(PreferenceManager preferenceManager) {
        Map<String, ?> map = preferenceManager.getSharedPreferences().getAll();
        for (String key : map.keySet()) {
            sync(preferenceManager, key);
        }
    }

    public static void sync(PreferenceManager preferenceManager, String key) {
        Preference pref = preferenceManager.findPreference(key);
        if (pref instanceof ListPreference) {
            ListPreference listPref = (ListPreference) pref;
            pref.setSummary(listPref.getEntry());
        }
    }

    /**
     * Migrate from boolean preferences to string preferences. Should be called only once
     * when application is relaunched.
     * If boolean preference has been set before, and value is not default, migrate to the new

     * TODO remove once all users migrated

        SharedPreferences sp = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);

                .equals(context.getString(R.string.pref_theme_value_blue));
    }

    private static class BoolToStringPref {
        private final int oldKey;
        private final boolean oldDefault;

            this.oldKey = oldKey;
            this.oldDefault = oldDefault;
            this.newKey = newKey;
            this.newValue = newValue;
        }

        private boolean isChanged(Context context, SharedPreferences sp) {
            return hasOldValue(context, sp) &&
                    sp.getBoolean(context.getString(oldKey), oldDefault) != oldDefault;
        }

        private boolean hasOldValue(Context context, SharedPreferences sp) {
            return sp.contains(context.getString(oldKey));
        }
