Change app language in android 5.0 doesn't work

android, android-context, locale

Solution

Try to change from this:

Locale localeEn = new Locale("en_US");
Locale.setDefault(localeEn);

to this

String language = "en";
String country = "US";
Locale locale = new Locale(language , country);

Problem

I'm using this code below to change my app language on button click (changing from french to english for example), it's works fine on android 4.0 + but on 5.0 it doesn't. ``` Locale localeEn = new Locale("en_US"); Locale.setDefault(localeEn); Configuration configEn = new Configuration(); configEn.locale = localeEn; getApplicationContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(configEn, null); this.recreate(); ``` Any clues why please? edit : this is my manifest ( with android:configChanges ) ``` <activity android:name=".activities.LoginActivity" android:configChanges="orientation|locale" android:label="@string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait"/> ```
