Hello,

My mobile application always use light mode so if i change Android Brightness light to dark then my Application not convert to light to dark, it's always show light theme.

Did you mean you want to know how to switch the AppTheme to fit the Android system theme?

If so, please refer to Respond to system theme changes. This official documentation and sample should be helpful for you.

Best Regards,

To disable dark mode use following methode:

In MainActivity.cs add the folowing into the OnCreate Methode:

protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
var uiModeManager = (UiModeManager)GetSystemService(UiModeService);
uiModeManager.SetApplicationNightMode(1);
}

1 disables dark mode for the whole App (only Android 31+)

For more Information you can look at Android Docs:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/UiModeManager#setNightMode(int)

For everything under Android 31 use:
((AppCompatActivity)this).Delegate.SetLocalNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.ModeNightNo);
