For what I've seen it doesn't change the locale in parts handled by Android (e.g. selection of xml resources), so even though it would be picked by my code (where I use Locale.getDefault()) you'd end up with a mix of two Locales, which doesn't make any sense. - -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - We make Java work.

You can in theory do java.util.Locale.setDefault within your application, to change the apps Locale from whatever the machine default is. Whether/how it works on Android is hard to say.

In the docs there's no mention about doing a similar thing in a real device. I assume that there's no other way to change the default locale than by manually using the Parameters app, right? Of course, I'm talking of testing. - -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - We make Java work.
