I am trying to change app localization at runtime it working correctly but when clear app from memory and reopen it again I find that resources like strings.xml and styles.xml take the default mobile language!

how are localizing your app? Are you using something like shown here?https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2900023/change-app-language-programmatically-in-android/35149135 How are you storing the locale? Are you using SharedPreferences? – Vedprakash Wagh Jun 23 '19 at 09:43

Okay, but are you using SharedPreference to store the locale? – Vedprakash Wagh Jun 23 '19 at 10:47

Okay, maybe you're missing something? I'm localizing my app doing the same, but it doesn't reset itself. I'll write my method in a few minutes, check to see if it works for you. – Vedprakash Wagh Jun 23 '19 at 10:52

okay, Thank you. – Mina George Jun 23 '19 at 10:58

See my method to localize the app:
I created an abstract class like below:
public abstract class BaseLocalization extends AppCompatActivity {
SharedPreferences preferences;
Constants constants;
String currentLocale = "en";
@Override
protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
constants = new Constants();
preferences = getSharedPreferences(constants.getPreferences(), MODE_PRIVATE);
currentLocale = preferences.getString(constants.getLocale(), "en");
setLocale(currentLocale);
}
public void setLocale(String lang) {
Locale myLocale = new Locale(lang);
Resources res = getResources();
DisplayMetrics dm = res.getDisplayMetrics();
Configuration conf = res.getConfiguration();
conf.locale = myLocale;
res.updateConfiguration(conf, dm);
}
}
After doing this, I made all the classes which extended AppCompatActivity extend this class. And saved the locale in SharedPreferences. And the locale is persisted until the app data is cleared/uninstalled.
