title: Android refusing to disable dark mode
body: <p>I have a project with two apps written in React Native. Since I do not currently support a dark theme, users with dark-mode enabled on their devices get bad colors in my app. Therefore I want to disable the dark-mode in my app, until the time I have support for it.</p>
  <p>In my first application, I have successfully disabled dark mode. But in my second app, I did the exact same thing, but still dark mode affects my colors. This is how my styles.xml looks like, and I also do not have any styles-night.xml or anything like that.</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;resources&gt;
  
      &lt;!-- Base application theme. --&gt;
  
      &lt;style name=&quot;AppTheme&quot; parent=&quot;Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar&quot;&gt;
          &lt;item name=&quot;android:textColor&quot;&gt;#000000&lt;/item&gt;
          &lt;item name=&quot;android:forceDarkAllowed&quot;&gt;false&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;/style&gt;
  
      &lt;style name=&quot;AppTheme.Launcher&quot;&gt;
          &lt;item name=&quot;android:windowBackground&quot;&gt;@drawable/launch&lt;/item&gt;
          &lt;item name=&quot;android:forceDarkAllowed&quot;&gt;false&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;/style&gt;
  
  &lt;/resources&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>This is my AndroidManifest.xml</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;manifest xmlns:android=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android&quot;
      xmlns:tools=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/tools&quot;

      &lt;application

        &lt;meta-data
        android:name=&quot;com.google.android.geo.API_KEY&quot;
        android:value=&quot;secretkey&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;activity
          android:name=&quot;.MainActivity&quot;
          android:exported=&quot;true&quot;

          android:theme=&quot;@style/AppTheme.Launcher&quot;
          android:configChanges=&quot;keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize|uiMode&quot;
          android:launchMode=&quot;singleTask&quot;

          &lt;intent-filter&gt;
              &lt;action android:name=&quot;android.intent.action.MAIN&quot; /&gt;
              &lt;category android:name=&quot;android.intent.category.LAUNCHER&quot; /&gt;
          &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
        &lt;/activity&gt;
   
      &lt;/application&gt;
  &lt;/manifest&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>I have cleaned the build, and rebuilt it again, but still to no effect. Am I missing something? I know there is an option to disable the dark mode in the onCreate function, but that will just recreate the activity and thus slow down the app startup, which I do not want.</p>
