I figured a way to reload the activities. simply call this.onCreate (null); to reload the current activity.
For example if you have a hierarchy like me: MainActivity -> PreferenceActivity and make a change in preferences, i listen for a change and with onSharedPreferenceChanged and call this.onCreate (null). When we go back, we need to reload the MainActivity, onResume () will be called so we put this.onCreate(null) there too and that should be enough. It works for my solution for changing the locale for the application. Hope it helps! // Ronald On Jul 19, 1:24 pm, Anders Aagaard <aagaa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > > I have an application, where I need to change the language through a > settings menu.
