Component used: AppCompatDelegate

Version used: 1.5.1

Devices/Android versions reproduced on: Pixel 6 - Android 13

Issue:

If a child activity enables local night mode and is then closed, inflating a view (for instance creating and showing a DialogFragment) will cause the view to also follow night mode.

Step to reproduce:

• Open the project, build and install the app
• Open the app, with a device with night mode disabled
• MainActivity is opened. The activity is using day mode. Tapping on SHOW DIALOG creates and shows a DialogFragment. Verify the dialog is also using day mode.
• From MainActivity, open DarkActivity by tapping on the OPEN DARK ACTIVITY button
• DarkActivity calls setLocalNightMode with AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES right before super.onCreate. This activity is now in night mode.
• Go back to MainActivity by performing a back gesture or by tapping on the button that calls Activity.finish
• Tap on SHOW DIALOG. The dialog is using night mode
