Hi all,
normally locale change comes under configuration change and if you have
overrided onConfigurationChanged then....it is called onchanging locale....
since in normal case when we change locale activity destroy and create again
to change locale at runtime...but if u have kept ur activity as
singleInstance...it wont destroy on changing locale....for that assign
string again in onCreateOptionMenu......since it is called only once so
assign it inside onPrepareOptionsMenu also...
this code below...
Localelocale= newLocale("language code here");

getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,

is forcing locale to change when you want to change it.....
