How to provide theme choices in an Android application? - android

I created an Android app with holo light theme. After releasing it, some users requested holo dark theme as another choice. Is there any open source application that provides choice for the theme? Or can someone explain this process?

How to make changable skin/theme on my Android app?

I have an Android app. I want to have a changeable skin/theme in my Android app.
For example, a dark theme to a light theme.

How do I decide which icon to use depending on background?

I downloaded some free icons and created a notification. At first I thought something was broken but then I realized that the icon I had used was in the same color as the background.
The pack I downloaded included several versions like "holo_dark" and "holo_light". I assume that this has something to do with theming in different android versions or user customizable settings.
What is the intended way to figure out which icon to use in such cases?
The icons are specific to the theme that you will be using in your android application. You have to identify the theme in your application and then use the specific set of icons for your theme.
For more clarity you can refer the Android Asset Studio ActionBar and Tab Icon Generator and see the difference in icons generated for different themes.
Also this article will be very useful in understanding how Styles and Themes work in Android.
