I had one of my users perform the following tests. They have an HTC
Desire running Froyo and have the locale set to "French".
new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE, d MMMM").format(new Date())
new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE, d MMMM", Locale.FRENCH).format(new Date())
new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE, d MMMM", Locale.getDefault()).format(new
Date())
new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE, d MMMM",
getResources().getConfiguration().locale).format(new Date())
Each time, the return string is the same: "7, 7 8"
Both Locale.getDefault() and the configuration locale are set to
"French (France)" (fr_FR)
Pretty busted, if you ask me... does anyone know of a workaround that
doesn't involve manually sticking days/weekdays into strings.xml?
