Re: [android-developers] Re: selecting language from within the app rather than by locale of the system settings
Hi Menion,
Yes, you have to set the locale in onCreate. It was written in the comments
of the article.

Hi Adrian,
thanks for you response. Your code is very similar to mine. Only
base diference is that you use
Activity.getBaseContext().getResources() instead of mine used
Activity.getResources(). But this not help with my main problem.
Probably in your code, every display rotate call same
INFO/ActivityManager(1160): Config changed: { scale=1.0 imsi=230/3
loc=en_GB touch=3 keys=2/1/1 nav=2/1 orien=2 layout=34}
and after that, locale change to default.
but is seems that only solution is to call language change code in
every onCreate() in every activity. Little bit weird but cannot find
any other permanent solution.

application language is not a common activity, so restart is not a bad

Ok, now I feel silly because I thought I could figure it out from

It is no android.provider.Settings, right?

preference settings and set the locale using the code you gave. Works
great. But if I change the language preference in my settings using
updateConfiguration, I hoped I would trigger the
onConfigurationChanged of my main Activity. But that doesn't happen
despite my entries android:configChanges=locale for the main
activity and uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION/ in the

Let's say I am in the main activity. I load the locale specified in
the settings in OnCreate. Everything is great. Now I go from there to
a preference activity, change the desired locale, update the
configuration via updateConfiguration and using the 'back' key I go
back to my main activity. Instead of onConfigurationChanged I get
onResume, giving me no possibility to reload my resources.
Any idea?

Hi Adrian,
thanks for you response. Your code is very similar to mine. Only
base diference is that you use
Activity.getBaseContext().getResources() instead of mine used
Activity.getResources(). But this not help with my main problem.
Probably in your code, every display rotate call same
INFO/ActivityManager(1160): Config changed: { scale=1.0 imsi=230/3
loc=en_GB touch=3 keys=2/1/1 nav=2/1 orien=2 layout=34}
and after that, locale change to default.
but is seems that only solution is to call language change code in
every onCreate() in every activity. Little bit weird but cannot find
any other permanent solution.

[android-developers] Re: selecting language from within the app rather than by locale of the system settings
Hi mot12,
i was fighting with similar problem few days ago and succesfully
solved. so my solution which may help you too ...
String lang = Settings.getLanguage();
Resources res = activity.getResources();
DisplayMetrics dm = res.getDisplayMetrics();
Configuration config = res.getConfiguration();
String loca = ;
if
(lang.equals(activity.getString(R.string.pref_misc_locale_lang_en_value)))
{
loca = en;
} else if
(lang.equals(activity.getString(R.string.pref_misc_locale_lang_cs_value)))
{
loca = cs;
}
Locale locale = new Locale(loca);
Locale.setDefault(locale);
config.locale = locale;
res.updateConfiguration(config, dm);
I'm giving user posibility to choose language from app settings. When
my app start (or restart after lang change, i check which lang is
selected by Settings.getLanguage() and then set selected lang (in
this case czech or english). One important think is that in ALL my
Activities in manifest file, I have android:configChanges=locale.
Everything works perfectly, for me ...
Hope this help
On Feb 13, 9:00 pm, mot12 martin.hu...@gmail.com wrote:
Hi,
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
I would like to give the users of my app the possibility of selecting
a language from within the application. All languages are supplied the
standard way via the values-?? resource directory.
However, I don't want Android to select which resource directory to
use but let the user decide instead.
Any ideas how to accomplish that?
The rationale for this:
- some languages are not supported by the Android framework and can
not be selected as a locale via the system settings
- if you buy a phone in Spain, it will typically not have a system
setting for Russian language, if you purchase in Russia, you will have
that setting. So a Russian person in Spain would prefer using the
Russian language included with the app, but can't access it
thanks for any suggestions,
Martin
