I could not find anywhere how to change color of background from item menu to all activities

I want to create something like theme changing day/night.

Here's the code:

@Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

    if (item.getItemId()==R.id.menu_svijetlaTema){
        /**Set background color*/
        View view = this.getWindow().getDecorView();
        view.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));

        String[] values = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.pitanja);
        final ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, values){
            @NonNull
            @Override
            public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
                View a = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
                TextView boja =  (TextView) a.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
                boja.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
                return a;
            }
        };
        ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);
        listView.setAdapter(adapter);

        RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.activity_second);
        layout.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);

    } else if(item.getItemId()==R.id.menu_tamnaTema){
        View view = this.getWindow().getDecorView();
        view.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#4c635c"));

        String[] values = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.pitanja);
        final ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, values){
            @NonNull
            @Override
            public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
                View a = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
                TextView boja =  (TextView) a.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
                boja.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
                return a;
            }
        };
        ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);
        listView.setAdapter(adapter);

        RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.activity_second);
        layout.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);
    }

return true;
}`

After this when I click item in menu app crashes, adapter is for changing ListView, but RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.activity_second); layout.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE); not working I'm trying to change background color to MainActivity and SecondActivity from menu on MainActivity. Here's error :

Add in manifest

  <activity
        android:name="com.alarm.main.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/MyAppActionBarTheme" />

and create a themes.xml inside values folder and write down it

<resources>

<style name="MyAppActionBarTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo">
    <item name="android:popupMenuStyle">@style/MyApp.PopupMenu</item>
    <item name="android:itemTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance</item>
</style>

<!-- The: background color for Action Bar overflow menu -->
<style name="MyApp.PopupMenu" parent="android:Widget.Holo.Light.ListPopupWindow">
    <item name="android:popupBackground">#0b19ba</item>
</style>

<!-- Popup Menu Text Color styles -->
<style name="TextAppearance" parent="android:style/TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.ActionBar.Menu"> 
    <item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>
</style>

To change overflow menu background add this to your Activity themes 

<item name="android:itemBackground">@color/overflow_background</item>
