Hi mot12,
i was fighting with similar problem few days ago and succesfully
solved. so my solution which may help you too ...
String lang = Settings.getLanguage();
Resources res = activity.getResources();
DisplayMetrics dm = res.getDisplayMetrics();
Configuration config = res.getConfiguration();
String loca = "";
if
(lang.equals(activity.getString(R.string.pref_misc_locale_lang_en_value)))
{
loca = "en";
} else if
(lang.equals(activity.getString(R.string.pref_misc_locale_lang_cs_value)))
{
loca = "cs";
}
Locale locale = new Locale(loca);
Locale.setDefault(locale);
config.locale = locale;
res.updateConfiguration(config, dm);
I'm giving user posibility to choose language from app settings. When
my app start (or restart after lang change, i check which lang is
selected by "Settings.getLanguage()" and then set selected lang (in
this case czech or english). One important think is that in ALL my
Activities in manifest file, I have "android:configChanges="locale".
Everything works perfectly, for me ...
Hope this help
