How to apply Theme.Wallpaper at runtime on android?

I use following code :

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setTheme(android.R.style.Theme_Wallpaper);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
}

But it does nothing!

How can I apply Theme.Wallpaper at runtime on android?

It works when you call the setTheme() method even before the call to the constructor of your parent class (i.e. before super.onCreate(...)).

The following works for me:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    setTheme(android.R.style.Theme_Wallpaper);
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
}

However, it's not perfect: when launching the activity, the shown animation still belongs to the default theme -> a black screen fades in. After the animation finishes, the wallpaper theme is shown.

If you want to have a wallpaper-themed fade-in animation, you have to use the declaration in your AndroidManifest.xml
