Android :android:configChanges value for Font Style change in Samsung Device
android, android-styles, fonts, samsung-mobile
Solution
I don't think this is possible, unfortunately. This seems to be using a different mechanism instead of configuration changes.
- Setting up a service to listen for `android.intent.action.CONFIGURATION_CHANGED` does not receive an Intent when a new font is selected in the dialog (but it does when the font size is changed, for example).
- If it was handled as a configuration change, then the activities would be restarted, but not the app itself, as it's the case here.
- Even if it were, the `android:configChanges` attribute does not accept arbitrary values, but only those listed in the documentation. So there would be no way to handle custom configuration changes.
If I had to guess, I'd say that Samsung's custom UI forcibly restarts all applications whenever the font is changed.
Problem
Want to handle the Font Style Change myself.what will be the value? Using the below values now.But the system kills the app and restarts. android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|fontScale|locale|layoutDirection|screenSize|screenLayout|mnc|mcc|uiMode|navigation|smallestScreenSize" Thanks Nitz
