android use localse to change language

Issue

I want to make my application multi language, I used two folders for them, the first one is the default values inside the res folder, the second one is values-ar inside the res folder. everything is working perfect when the language is english.

Now, i want to change it to arabic. I used this code:

Locale locale = new Locale("ar");
    Locale.setDefault(locale);
    android.content.res.Configuration config = new android.content.res.Configuration();
    config.locale = locale;
    getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,
            getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

when i used that code, the instruction of the application like cut and paste are changed, but i didn't know who to tell the application to use variables from values-ar folder, not from values folder.

please don't worry about the encoding

thanks in advance

Solution

You can get the current language and set if condition.

String currentLang = Locale.getDefault().getDisplayLanguage();

if(currentLang == "english"){
      //TODO
 }else if(currentLang == "yourLang"){
     //TODO
 }

Hope you will find this usefull. Cheers
