Code summary
In the code example, configBuilder.themeMode(NavigationConstants.NAVIGATION_VIEW_LIGHT_MODE)
method is used to set the theme mode for the navigation interface in the NavLauncherConfig
object. The theme mode determines the visual style of the navigation UI. The method accepts a string parameter representing the theme mode. Defaults to NAVIGATION_VIEW_FOLLOW_SYSTEM_MODE
-
NAVIGATION_VIEW_LIGHT_MODE
: This theme mode sets the navigation interface to use a light color scheme. It is suitable for environments with a bright background or during daytime. It provides a visually lighter and brighter appearance. -
NAVIGATION_VIEW_DARK_MODE
: This theme mode sets the navigation interface to use a dark color scheme. It is suitable for environments with low light conditions or during nighttime. It provides a visually darker and more contrasted appearance. -
NAVIGATION_VIEW_FOLLOW_SYSTEM_MODE
: This theme mode allows the navigation interface to follow the system-wide theme settings. It adapts to the user's preferred system theme, whether it is light or dark. The interface will automatically switch between light and dark modes based on the system's current theme settings.
By using these theme modes, you can customize the visual style of the navigation UI to match your application's design or provide a consistent experience with the system-wide theme.
