Re: Fwd: [android-developers] Re: locale change does not affect menu
All phones would support locales. May be emulators don't but I guess
if devices are not supporting multiple locales, and it is an important
thing for the user, he will not buy that phone or return it.

Hi all,
normally locale change comes under configuration change and if you have
overrided onConfigurationChanged thenit is called onchanging locale
since in normal case when we change locale activity destroy and create again
to change locale at runtime...but if u have kept ur activity as
singleInstance...it wont destroy on changing localefor that assign
string again in onCreateOptionMenu..since it is called only once so
assign it inside onPrepareOptionsMenu also...
this code below...
Localelocale= newLocale(language code here);
Locale.setDefault(locale);
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.locale=locale;
getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,
getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
is forcing locale to change when you want to change it.

Hi Engin,
I also noticed this behaviour - albeit, only in the emulator. I cannot
test on a 2.2 phone.
Unfortunately, I did have enough time to find out why this happens, so I
made a hack.
First, some info: this resetting of the locale probably happens somewhere
after the onResume(). This means that not only the menu gets reset to the
default locale, but also, for example, in onTextChanged if we show a
validation message, this message will also be displayed in the default
system locale.
What I did is identify the key events that can happen in my application
AFTER the onResume.
I see that the user will either:
a. onPrepareOptionsMenu
or
b. onTextChanged
So two events - pretty easy for me.
I added in those methods something like this:
if (!hasSetLocaleSpecial)
{
setLocale();
hasSetLocaleSpecial = true;
}
Basically, I am calling the setLocale again, in the FIRST event that can
happen after onResume.
It is a horrible hack, but until I can get more info on why this happens,
I will stick to it.
I hope this will help you a little bit.

[android-developers] Re: locale change does not affect menu
Richard, no it is not what i am trying to do. Suppose that I have an telephone which does not support Germany but i want to develop application supporting many languages as well as Germany . if the only way of changing language of application is changing Locale from telephone settings , it is impossible to . To summarize , i only want user to be able to choose my application language using application's settings. I partially achieved this using site that ı posted link. however, menu does not change when ı apply that way On Jul 28, 2:57 pm, RichardC richard.crit...@googlemail.com wrote: For multi-language apps you don't need to do any of this. Have a read of localization in the docs:http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/localization.html you will get the collect localized resources loaded automatically by the platform. If however you are trying to switch language/localein a running app, then as DH pointed out the platform does not support this. I have not looked into the platform code for lanuage/locale(s) but I suppect that Android has no concept of an applicaton onlylocaleonly systemlocale. If I am correct then are you trying to change thelocalefor the whole system?

Whatever, http://adrianvintu.com/blogengine/post/Force-Locale-on-Android.aspx in this link i have found alternative way of doing this. by this way all texts changed proposed language, however there is still problem in Menu even if i recreatemenuafter changinglocale.
