Re: [android-developers] Re: Force locale for an application, bug in 2.0?
There is a "bug" when changing the Locale on the Motorola Milestone. The font gets smaller each time the updateConfiguration(...) is called.

[android-developers] Re: Force locale for an application, bug in 2.0?
I've been looking for a long time at a solution to this problem (ever since 2.0 was released). I can confirm that by adding "locale" to configChanges fixes the problem. My exact xml entry is: android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|locale" I've actually added the "locale" parameter to each of my Manfiest activities (to be safe), however, it did seem to fix the problem just by adding into the Launcher as mentioned before. So relieved to see this fixed :) S.

[android-developers] Re: Force locale for an application, bug in 2.0?
Hi Dianne, I have exactly the same problem. The functionality was broken since I move to v10 and now to 2.0.1 I wrote the question as "Different behaviour between SDK 1.6 and SDK 2.0 - bug? Please help." in developers forum month ago but no answer. Anyway when i'm commenting the line context.getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration (config, context.getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics()); the application is starting properly. No localization changes is available but at least it's running. I can send you source code if you need to investigate it.

[android-developers] Re: Force locale for an application, bug in 2.0?
I don't think that the process is crashing, at least not in the emulator since I can see all these logging messages: 11-07 23:11:33.849: WARN/UsageStats(61): Something wrong here, didn't expect "mypackagename" to be resumed There are lots of them. It looks like it gets stuck in some kind of loop. Btw. It used to work, and I think it is great that it used to work. There are lots of people in the world who speak more than one language, where none of the languages are English, or they might understand English but have two other languages as preferred languages. Setting the OS locale to Swedish would make the application display the English resources if Swedish isn't available, but an application that I have installed might support e.g .Spanish, and that could be preferred over English.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Force locale for an application, bug in 2.0?
No, changing the application's locale like this is not supported, and will not entirely work. It shouldn't cause an activity to restart though... actually I can't imagine how this would cause an activity to restart, since this method is much lower-level than the activity.

As a workaround you can recommend your users the MoreLocale application to change their Locale to Swedish. But I am also interested in application level locale setting. Did you report the issue?

Hi, found the same problem here. Even this kind of code fails: Configuration config = context.getResources().getConfiguration(); config.locale = newLocale; context.getResources().updateConfiguration(config, context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics()); where newLocale is a properly created locale instance. The strange thing is that I can get the above code to work when my wizard library is running; the library code does not implement a new activity, but simply uses the existing one. I compared code, but I cannot find other real differences. And I'm getting the resume problem also when I start an activity from a non-GUI class, this worked from 1.1 to 1.6 :-( Yuri -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Thanks I'll do so. Btw. This was the only way that I knew of in which I would be able to let users select Swedish as application language.
