Question

I m writing one application which display all menu and all text of application in english and spanish.
can any one tell me how to solve this problem.one thing i can do is to convert all text in spanish when suser select spanish language .is there any inbuilt android functionality that convert all text to selected language..

Answer 1

1. create folder values-es (for Spanish)

2. create strings.xml file for Spanish language

3. I suppose you have two button in screen to change the language, add following code on button click

        String language ="es";
        Locale locale = null;
        if (language.equalsIgnoreCase("en")) {
            locale = new Locale("en");
        } else if (language.equalsIgnoreCase("es")) {
            locale = new Locale("es");
        }
        Locale.setDefault(locale);
        Configuration config = new Configuration();
        config.locale = locale;
        getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config, null);
   

4. If you want to change the language on the fly then you cane call oncreate(null)

Thank You,
