I think its simple :

private void setLocale (String localeCode , Bundle b ){
    Locale locale = new Locale(localeCode);
    Locale.setDefault(locale);
    Configuration config = new Configuration();
    config.locale = locale;
    getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config, getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
    getApplicationContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config, getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
    UserDetail.this.getResources().updateConfiguration(config, getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
    onCreate(null);
}

Call the above function from your onclick method over textView, you can set which ever language you want :

...
setLocale("es",savedInstanceState); // for Spanish
setLocale("en-us",savedInstanceState); // for english
...

Hope this helps ...

I have changed code, my mistake. – Abhinav Puri Jan 04 '15 at 15:33
Thanks! But it says again, "parameter b is never used" . And onClick text view="setLocale" doesn't work too. What to do ?? – Tim Jan 05 '15 at 06:58
Well that's okay, you can remove that parameter from function, I used it in my code for some other purpose... – Abhinav Puri Jan 06 '15 at 08:06
