Question

I have some localized files with strings in folders like

values
values-ru
values-es
etc.

In every folder there is a strings.xml file with same keys but different values.

And in debug mode it works perfectly. But when I download app from Play Market, it crashes with Resources$NotFoundException on every locale.

Also, I do

Locale locale = getBaseContext().getResources().getConfiguration().locale; 
        Locale.setDefault(locale);
        Configuration config = new Configuration();
        config.locale = locale;
        getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,                                 getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

during initialization. May it be the reason?

Any suggestions?

Log from dev. console:

I removed this part

Locale locale = getBaseContext().getResources().getConfiguration().locale; 
        Locale.setDefault(locale);
        Configuration config = new Configuration();
        config.locale = locale;
        getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,                                 getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

and it works. As I can suggest, there is no need to fix locale and system will use needed resources just as supposed.
