Flavor based localizing - Android

Question

I have set up my application with different string files for different languages English(default)/French/Arabic.

When I change the language on the device, it stays in English.

Here is my project layout:

--src
  |__main
    |__res
      |__values-ar
      |__values-fr
      |__values
   |__variants
     |__flavour1
       |__res
         |__values-ar
         |__values-fr
         |__values
     |__flavour2
       |__res
         |__values-ar
         |__values-fr
         |__values
     |__flavour3
       |__res
         |__values-ar
         |__values-fr
         |__values

The device is now displaying french after switching the language to french in the settings but the application is still displaying English.

Can anyone help?

@Murtaza In my layout files, I'm setting them from the string folder e.g. `android:text="@string/createNewUser"` Is that what you mean? — DJ-DOO, Apr 21 '15 at 09:24
@MurtazaKhursheedHussain I have switched the language on the device to French and I have values-fr file but it's not working. Could the flavours have something to do with it? — DJ-DOO, Apr 21 '15 at 09:36
@MurtazaKhursheedHussain give what a try? I'm wondering if my project structure is correct, as I have flavours introduced. Does it look correct? — DJ-DOO, Apr 21 '15 at 09:38
it is correct, nothing wrong with your project structure. Give a try to by removing flavors and check if it works. — Murtaza Khursheed Hussain, Apr 21 '15 at 09:39

-src
  |__main
    |__res
      |__values-ar
      |__values-fr
      |__values
   |__variants   < ------ Remove this 
     |__flavour1
       |__res
         |__values-ar
         |__values-fr
         |__values
     |__flavour2
       |__res
         |__values-ar
         |__values-fr
         |__values
     |__flavour3
       |__res
         |__values-ar
         |__values-fr
         |__values

After

-src
      |__main
        |__res
          |__values-ar
          |__values-fr
          |__values

       |__flavour1
         |__res
           |__values-ar
           |__values-fr
           |__values
       |__flavour2
         |__res
           |__values-ar
           |__values-fr
           |__values
       |__flavour3
         |__res
           |__values-ar
