Question

I wanna develop android application for different types of languages. So I have used localization for it. For that I have created different values folder like values-fr, values-ja , values-de. N also created strings.xml with static value according to that values folder. So All is good. But now my question is that I wanna change UI text according to user’s selection of language. So How can I manually get particular string values from values->string.xml for particular language???

I think it may be easy, But I have no idea.

Thanks,

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