Is it possible to change the language of an app programmatically while still using Android resources?
If not, is it possible to request a resource in an specific lan
None of the solutions listed here helped me.
The language did not switch on android >= 7.0 if AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES)
This LocaleUtils works just fine: https://gist.github.com/GigigoGreenLabs/7d555c762ba2d3a810fe
LocaleUtils
public class LocaleUtils {
public static final String LAN_SPANISH = "es";
public static final String LAN_PORTUGUESE = "pt";
public static final String LAN_ENGLISH = "en";
private static Locale sLocale;
public static void setLocale(Locale locale) {
sLocale = locale;
if(sLocale != null) {
Locale.setDefault(sLocale);
}
}
public static void updateConfig(ContextThemeWrapper wrapper) {
if(sLocale != null && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
configuration.setLocale(sLocale);
wrapper.applyOverrideConfiguration(configuration);
}
}
public static void updateConfig(Application app, Configuration configuration) {
if(sLocale != null && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
//Wrapping the configuration to avoid Activity endless loop
Configuration config = new Configuration(configuration);
config.locale = sLocale;
Resources res = app.getBaseContext().getResources();
res.updateConfiguration(config, res.getDisplayMetrics());
}
}
}
Added this code to Application
public class App extends Application {
public void onCreate(){
super.onCreate();
LocaleUtils.setLocale(new Locale("iw"));
LocaleUtils.updateConfig(this, getBaseContext().getResources().getConfiguration());
}
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
LocaleUtils.updateConfig(this, newConfig);
}
}
Code in Activity
public class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public BaseActivity() {
LocaleUtils.updateConfig(this);
}
}
