I don't really get what you want to do. I'm guessing you want to use only one strings.xml and translate "on-the-fly" all the texts for this and the rest of your activities? The best way would be to just translate the strings to another strings.xml and use the values/your-language bucket to store it. And then just change language. I've found this Q&A doing a fast search: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12908289/how-to-change-language-of-app-when-user-selects-language .
If you need to use the Bing service because it's some exercise or proof of concept or something like that, you could make a Dictionary class or service that translates every string on the file and stores the translation on some form of cache. You could make it eager and load every string just once. In this Q&A you can find how to get all the IDs so you can then retrieve the strings you'll have to translate: http://stackoverflow.com/a/14389698/671431 Or you could make it lazy and get one string at a time. In both cases, there will be some performance penalty on your UI. One will be a long wait everytime the user changes to a new language, and the other will make the first load of every screen a bit slow. And then there will be even more penalty because anyway you would need to make a someView.setText(yourDictionary.getText(R.string.someString)) call for every TextView and perhaps also setContentDescription on the ImageViews. I don't think it's pretty. Marina On Sun, Jan 24, 2016 at 10:06 AM, Yong Lin <yonglin1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Below is my code, i wanted to use the bing translate api to translate my > strings.xml .
