How to restart Activity in Android

by

I did my theme switcher like this:

Intent intent = getIntent();
finish();
startActivity(intent);

Basically, I’m calling finish() first, and I’m using the exact same intent this activity was started with. That seems to do the trick?

UPDATE: As pointed out by Ralf below, Activity.recreate() is the way to go in API 11 and beyond. This is preferable if you’re in an API11+ environment. You can still check the current version and call the code snippet above if you’re in API 10 or below. (Please don’t forget to upvote Ralf’s answer!)
