Android: Change strings resource Programmatically

Is there a way to do this? For instan开发者_JS百科ce, I have a setting in my preferences that can convert between metric and standard units of measurement and when the user changes this I would like to update a few strings to change some labels around within my app.

You can update the label on TextView or anything similar.

• Get the updated string using update_str = Context.getResources().getString (R.string.update_identifier)
• Update the label using ((TextView)findViewById (R.id.textview)).setText (updated_str)

You may use following instructions to fetch saved labels from strings.xml file and show them accordingly at some 'if statement' which could check your

pref = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext()) .getString("conversion_mode", "");

String string = getString(R.string.update_identifier);

or

getResources().getString (R.string.update_identifier)

would do the best

getString(int) or getText(int) may be used to retrieve a string. Please note getText(int) will retain any rich text styling applied to the string.
