只是多添了一块，把我绊倒了。

而其他的答案，比如“de”，都没问题

String lang = "de";
Locale locale = new Locale(lang); 
Locale.setDefault(locale);
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.locale = locale;
getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config, 
    getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

上面不会工作，例如“fr_BE”地区，所以它将使用values-fr-rBE文件夹或类似的。

需要以下轻微更改工作与“fr_BE”

String lang = "fr";

//create a string for country
String country = "BE";
//use constructor with country
Locale locale = new Locale(lang, country);

Locale.setDefault(locale);
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.locale = locale;
getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config, 
    getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

您应该执行一些步骤

首先，您需要更改配置的区域设置

Resources resources = context.getResources();

Configuration configuration = resources.getConfiguration();
configuration.locale = new Locale(language);

resources.updateConfiguration(configuration, resources.getDisplayMetrics());

其次，如果希望更改直接应用于可见的布局，可以直接更新视图，也可以调用activity. rebuild()重新启动当前活动。

你还必须保留你的更改因为在用户关闭你的应用程序之后你就会失去语言更改。

我在我的博客文章中解释了更详细的解决方案，在Android中以编程方式改变语言

基本上，你只需要在你的应用程序类上调用LocaleHelper.onCreate()如果你想动态地改变语言环境你可以调用LocaleHelper.setLocale()

是时候更新了。

首先，弃用列表和它被弃用的API:

配置。locale (API 17) updateConfiguration(配置，displaymetrics) (API 17)

最近没有问题的答案是正确的是新方法的使用。

createconfigationcontext是updateConfiguration的新方法。

有些人是这样独立使用的:

Configuration overrideConfiguration = ctx.getResources().getConfiguration();
Locale locale = new Locale("en_US");
overrideConfiguration.setLocale(locale);
createConfigurationContext(overrideConfiguration);

．.． 但这行不通。为什么?该方法返回一个上下文，然后用于处理Strings.xml翻译和其他本地化资源(图像、布局等)。

正确用法是这样的:

Configuration overrideConfiguration = ctx.getResources().getConfiguration();
Locale locale = new Locale("en_US");
overrideConfiguration.setLocale(locale);
//the configuration can be used for other stuff as well
Context context  = createConfigurationContext(overrideConfiguration);
Resources resources = context.getResources();

如果您只是复制粘贴到您的IDE中，您可能会看到一个警告，该API要求您针对API 17或更高版本。这可以通过将它放在一个方法中并添加注释@TargetApi(17)来解决。

但是等待。那么旧的API呢?

您需要在没有TargetApi注释的情况下使用updateConfiguration创建另一个方法。

Resources res = YourApplication.getInstance().getResources();
// Change locale settings in the app.
DisplayMetrics dm = res.getDisplayMetrics();
android.content.res.Configuration conf = res.getConfiguration();
conf.locale = new Locale("th");
res.updateConfiguration(conf, dm);

这里不需要返回上下文。

现在，管理这些可能很困难。在API 17+中，你需要创建上下文(或者创建上下文中的资源)来获得基于本地化的适当资源。你如何处理这个问题?

好吧，我是这么做的:

/**
 * Full locale list: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7973023/what-is-the-list-of-supported-languages-locales-on-android
 * @param lang language code (e.g. en_US)
 * @return the context
 * PLEASE READ: This method can be changed for usage outside an Activity. Simply add a COntext to the arguments
 */
public Context setLanguage(String lang/*, Context c*/){
    Context c = AndroidLauncher.this;//remove if the context argument is passed. This is a utility line, can be removed totally by replacing calls to c with the activity (if argument Context isn't passed)
    int API = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
    if(API >= 17){
        return setLanguage17(lang, c);
    }else{
        return setLanguageLegacy(lang, c);
    }
}

/**
 * Set language for API 17
 * @param lang
 * @param c
 * @return
 */
@TargetApi(17)
public Context setLanguage17(String lang, Context c){
    Configuration overrideConfiguration = c.getResources().getConfiguration();
    Locale locale = new Locale(lang);
    Locale.setDefault(locale);
    overrideConfiguration.setLocale(locale);
    //the configuration can be used for other stuff as well
    Context context  = createConfigurationContext(overrideConfiguration);//"local variable is redundant" if the below line is uncommented, it is needed
    //Resources resources = context.getResources();//If you want to pass the resources instead of a Context, uncomment this line and put it somewhere useful
    return context;
}

public Context setLanguageLegacy(String lang, Context c){
    Resources res = c.getResources();
    // Change locale settings in the app.
    DisplayMetrics dm = res.getDisplayMetrics();//Utility line
    android.content.res.Configuration conf = res.getConfiguration();

    conf.locale = new Locale(lang);//setLocale requires API 17+ - just like createConfigurationContext
    Locale.setDefault(conf.locale);
    res.updateConfiguration(conf, dm);

    //Using this method you don't need to modify the Context itself. Setting it at the start of the app is enough. As you
    //target both API's though, you want to return the context as you have no clue what is called. Now you can use the Context
    //supplied for both things
    return c;
}

This code works by having one method that makes calls to the appropriate method based on what API. This is something I have done with a lot of different deprecated calls (including Html.fromHtml). You have one method that takes in the arguments needed, which then splits it into one of two (or three or more) methods and returns the appropriate result based on API level. It is flexible as you do't have to check multiple times, the "entry" method does it for you. The entry-method here is setLanguage

使用前请仔细阅读

您需要使用获取资源时返回的Context。为什么?我在这里看到了其他使用createconfigationcontext而不使用它返回的上下文的答案。为了让它这样工作，必须调用updateConfiguration。这是不赞成的。使用方法返回的上下文来获取资源。

使用示例:

构造函数或类似的地方:

ctx = getLanguage(lang);//lang is loaded or generated. How you get the String lang is not something this answer handles (nor will handle in the future)

然后，无论你想在哪里获得资源，你都可以:

String fromResources = ctx.getString(R.string.helloworld);

使用任何其他上下文(理论上)都会打破这一点。

AFAIK，你仍然需要使用活动上下文来显示对话框或toast。为此，您可以使用一个活动的实例(如果您在外部)

---

最后，在活动上使用rebuild()来刷新内容。快捷方式可以不用创建意图刷新。

这是有可能的。您可以设置区域。然而，我不建议这样做。我们在早期阶段尝试过，基本上是在对抗这个系统。

我们对改变语言有同样的要求，但决定接受UI应该与手机UI相同的事实。它是通过设置locale工作，但太bug了。根据我的经验，每次输入活动(每个活动)时都必须设置它。这里是一个代码，如果你仍然需要这个(再次强调，我不推荐)

Resources res = context.getResources();
// Change locale settings in the app.
DisplayMetrics dm = res.getDisplayMetrics();
android.content.res.Configuration conf = res.getConfiguration();
conf.setLocale(new Locale(language_code.toLowerCase())); // API 17+ only.
// Use conf.locale = new Locale(...) if targeting lower versions
res.updateConfiguration(conf, dm);

如果您有特定于语言的内容-您可以根据设置更改它。

2020年3月26日更新

    public static void setLocale(Activity activity, String languageCode) {
        Locale locale = new Locale(languageCode);
        Locale.setDefault(locale);
        Resources resources = activity.getResources();
        Configuration config = resources.getConfiguration();
        config.setLocale(locale);
        resources.updateConfiguration(config, resources.getDisplayMetrics());
    }

注意:语言代码不能有“-”，必须是2个小写字母

如果你想在你的应用中保持语言变化，你必须做两件事。

首先，创建一个base Activity，让你所有的Activity都从下面扩展:

public class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private Locale mCurrentLocale;

    @Override
    protected void onStart() {
        super.onStart();

        mCurrentLocale = getResources().getConfiguration().locale;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onRestart() {
        super.onRestart();
        Locale locale = getLocale(this);

        if (!locale.equals(mCurrentLocale)) {

            mCurrentLocale = locale;
            recreate();
        }
    }

    public static Locale getLocale(Context context){
        SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);

        String lang = sharedPreferences.getString("language", "en");
        switch (lang) {
            case "English":
                lang = "en";
                break;
            case "Spanish":
                lang = "es";
                break;
        }
        return new Locale(lang);
    }
}

注意，我将新语言保存在sharedPreference中。

其次，像这样创建一个应用程序的扩展:

    public class App extends Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        setLocale();
    }

    @Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
        setLocale();
    }

    private void setLocale() {

        final Resources resources = getResources();
        final Configuration configuration = resources.getConfiguration();
        final Locale locale = getLocale(this);
        if (!configuration.locale.equals(locale)) {
            configuration.setLocale(locale);
            resources.updateConfiguration(configuration, null);
        }
    }
}

注意，getLocale()与上面相同。

这是所有! 我希望这能帮助到一些人。

唯一完全适合我的解决方案是结合Alex Volovoy的代码和应用程序重启机制:

void restartApplication() {
    Intent i = new Intent(MainTabActivity.context, MagicAppRestart.class);
    i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
    i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    MainTabActivity.context.startActivity(i);
}


/** This activity shows nothing; instead, it restarts the android process */
public class MagicAppRestart extends Activity {
    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        finish();
    }

    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        startActivityForResult(new Intent(this, MainTabActivity.class), 0);         
    }
}
