changing the language of app without changing the settings of device

I am m开发者_StackOverflowaking an android app in which i want to change the language of app on selecting a particular language in spinner without changing the language of device.I have made different string files for all language. Now what to do next?? Can anyone please help me over this? thanks

Most simple way is just to change VM's locale, like:

Locale locale=new Locale("zh");  //Chinese    
Locale.setDefault(locale);  //set VM's default locale

Once I wanted to implement a multiple language feature for my application. Where that language was not even supported by android.

I made the appropriate strings for all the application and stored them in my resources. Then I kept the language selection in my shared preferences, so that when user opens the app the next time, we can show the previously selected language. I implemented the code and language changing in my OnResume() function of Activity. the code was like:

        if(SelectedLanguage.compareTo("ar")==0)
        {
            String text = getString(R.string.ar_Options);
            tv_Options.setText(ArabicUtilities.reshape(text));

            text = getString(R.string.ar_Minimize);
            tv_Minimize.setText(ArabicUtilities.reshape(text));
        }
        else
        {
            String text = getString(R.string.en_Options);
            tv_Options.setText(text);

            text = getString(R.string.en_Minimize);
            tv_Minimize.setText(text);
        }           

I hope you get the basic idea. In this way you don't have to change the lanuguage of your device and you can provide multiple languages for your application.
