My activity_main.xml still uses the default theme even after I specified another theme

My activity_main.xml still uses the default theme even after I specified another theme. Please find my code below:

styles

<resources>

    <!-- Launch screen -->
    <style name="LaunchScreenTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->

    </style>

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->

    </style>

</resources>

manifest

 <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

  ...

activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    ...
    android:theme="@style/LaunchScreenTheme"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="150dp"
        android:layout_height="150dp"
        android:src="@drawable/logo_orange"

    />

</LinearLayout>

Even though I've set the LaunchScreenTheme above, it still uses the default AppTheme

Any idea why?

if you want to set a theme specifically for an activity then you have set it like this in your manifest - 

<activity
        android:name=".StartActivity"
        android:theme="@style/LaunchScreenTheme" />

if you want to set a theme for the whole application then you have to set it like this is your manifest -

 <application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/LaunchScreenTheme">

In activity_main.xml, try style:"@style/LaunchScreenTheme" instead android:theme="@style/LaunchScreenTheme"
