use the below class
public class LocaleHelper {
private static final String SELECTED_LANGUAGE = "Locale.Helper.Selected.Language";
public static void onCreate(Context context) {
String lang = getPersistedData(context, Locale.getDefault().getLanguage());
setLocale(context, lang);
}
public static void onCreate(Context context, String defaultLanguage) {
String lang = getPersistedData(context, defaultLanguage);
setLocale(context, lang);
}
public static String getLanguage(Context context) {
return getPersistedData(context, Locale.getDefault().getLanguage());
}
public static void setLocale(Context context, String language) {
persist(context, language);
updateResources(context, language);
}
private static String getPersistedData(Context context, String defaultLanguage) {
SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
return preferences.getString(SELECTED_LANGUAGE, defaultLanguage);
}
private static void persist(Context context, String language) {
SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = preferences.edit();
editor.putString(SELECTED_LANGUAGE, language);
editor.apply();
}
private static void updateResources(Context context, String language) {
Locale locale = new Locale(language);
Locale.setDefault(locale);
Resources resources = context.getResources();
Configuration configuration = resources.getConfiguration();
configuration.locale = locale;
resources.updateConfiguration(configuration, resources.getDisplayMetrics());
}
}
How to use?
In Application
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
LocaleHelper.onCreate(this, "en");
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
LocaleHelper.setLocale(this, LocaleHelper.getLanguage(this));
}
Set the language
LocaleHelper.setLocale(this, "en");
How to change the language without restart the activity
LocaleHelper.setLocale(this, "zh");
set the text that you can see
e.g.
tvEn.setText(getContext().getString(R.string.en));
tvTc.setText(getContext().getString(R.string.tc));
tvChangePsw.setText(getContext().getString(R.string.change_psw));
tvChangeLang.setText(getContext().getString(R.string.change_lang));
tvPushNote.setText(getContext().getString(R.string.push_notic));
tvPromotion.setText(getContext().getString(R.string.promotion));
tvHealthTips.setText(getContext().getString(R.string.health_tips));
tvLogout.setText(getContext().getString(R.string.logout));
