Related to this same question, if it is not supported to change the locale
outside of the built-in OS configurations, how can I request a language

Like I said, there isn't really a way. You are doing stuff that isn't
really supported, so you're going to be hacking around. Forcibly changing
the configuration of resources is already a hack -- for example if the user
flips the lid the configuration will change, blowing away what you set.

So, what can be a best way to restart the app except to ask user restart
manually?
Thanks,

You will need to do all of the UI recreation in your activity. We don't
currently have a way for an activity to ask that it be restarted, sorry.
Like I said, this isn't really supported.

You can't just modify the structure, you need to give a new Configuration of
new values to Resources.updateConfiguration().

This isn't really supported, though you can change the language of the

res\
values\
strings.xml
values-de\
strings.xml
And Android will au
