I used the below code for changing language from default to selected. But i am not able to update the views in my fragment/activity like TextView with selected language. Programmatically showing selected language.
Also My Application is potrait onConfigurationChanged() is not calling even i declare android:configChanges="layoutDirection|locale" in Manifest file
Note: I don't want to recreate() my activity.
1.Used BaseActivity for attachBaseContext to set the locale language and extends this Activity for all activities
open class BaseAppCompactActivity() : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun attachBaseContext(newBase: Context) {
super.attachBaseContext(LocaleHelper.onAttach(newBase))
}
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
}
}
2.Used Application attachBaseContext and onConfigurationChanged to set the locale language.
public class MyApplication extends Application {
private static MyApplication application;
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
public static MyApplication getApplication() {
return application;
}
/**
* overide to change local sothat language can be chnaged from android device nogaut and above
*/
@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(LocaleHelper.INSTANCE.onAttach(base));
}
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
/*** also handle chnage language if device language chnaged **/
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
3.Used Locale Helper for handling language changes ,this approach work on all device
object LocaleHelper {
fun onAttach(context: Context, defaultLanguage: String): Context {
return setLocale(context, defaultLanguage)
}
fun setLocale(context: Context, language: String): Context {
return if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
updateResources(context, language)
} else updateResourcesLegacy(context, language)
}
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
private fun updateResources(context: Context, language: String): Context {
val locale = Locale(language)
Locale.setDefault(locale)
val configuration = context.getResources().getConfiguration()
configuration.setLocale(locale)
configuration.setLayoutDirection(locale)
return context.createConfigurationContext(configuration)
}
private fun updateResourcesLegacy(context: Context, language: String): Context {
val locale = Locale(language)
Locale.setDefault(locale)
val resources = context.getResources()
}
