How do I ensure that only my navgation drawer has switch and that when enabled it would enable dark mode?

Android

currently i want to create a switch inside my navigation drawer such that when enabled the dark mode would be enabled throughout my entire app. However though the first issue for which i have encountered is my Home screen there is already a switch as seen here

but i already have a switch already included in my navigation drawer already, is there anyway to be able to remove the switch from the Homescreen and ensure that the only switch that i would have would be in the Navigation drawer such that when enabled it would enable dark mode for my app?

here is my code for activity_main:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/white"
    android:id="@+id/drawer"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <include
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        layout="@layout/drawabletoolbar"/>
    <include
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        layout="@layout/content_main"/>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="false">

        <Switch
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/btnSwitch"
            android:text=""/>



    </LinearLayout>



    <com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/navi_view"
        app:menu="@menu/drawable_menu"
        app:headerLayout="@layout/drawable_header"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"/>

</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>

here is my code for the layout file for which i have created the switch in


<linearlayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
="" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">

<switch
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
="" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:text="" android:id="@+id/btnSwitch">

What I have tried:

so currently in my layout file for which i have created for the switch

<item
       android:id="@+id/Mode"
       app:actionLayout="@layout/layout_switch"
       android:icon="@drawable/ic_brightness_4_black_24dp"
       android:title="Dark Mode" />

ive tried to change the actionLayout to activity_main instead but however though after the splashScreen nothing is shown its just one black screen
