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。

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);         
    }
}

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());

根据这篇文章。您需要下载那篇文章中引用的LocaleHelper.java。

Create MyApplication class that will extends Application Override attachBaseContext() to update language. Register this class in manifest. public class MyApplication extends Application { @Override protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) { super.attachBaseContext(LocaleHelper.onAttach(base, "en")); } } <application android:name="com.package.MyApplication" .../> Create BaseActivity and override onAttach() to update language. Needed for Android 6+ public class BaseActivity extends Activity { @Override protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) { super.attachBaseContext(LocaleHelper.onAttach(base)); } } Make all activities on your app extends from BaseActivity. public class LocaleHelper { private static final String SELECTED_LANGUAGE = "Locale.Helper.Selected.Language"; public static Context onAttach(Context context) { String lang = getPersistedData(context, Locale.getDefault().getLanguage()); return setLocale(context, lang); } public static Context onAttach(Context context, String defaultLanguage) { String lang = getPersistedData(context, defaultLanguage); return setLocale(context, lang); } public static String getLanguage(Context context) { return getPersistedData(context, Locale.getDefault().getLanguage()); } public static Context setLocale(Context context, String language) { persist(context, language); if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) { return updateResources(context, language); } return updateResourcesLegacy(context, language); } private static String getPersistedData(Context context, String defaultLanguage) { SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context); return preferences.getString(SELECTED_LANGUAGE, defaultLanguage); } private static void persist(Context context, String language) { SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context); SharedPreferences.Editor editor = preferences.edit(); editor.putString(SELECTED_LANGUAGE, language); editor.apply(); } @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.N) private static Context updateResources(Context context, String language) { Locale locale = new Locale(language); Locale.setDefault(locale); Configuration configuration = context.getResources().getConfiguration(); configuration.setLocale(locale); configuration.setLayoutDirection(locale); return context.createConfigurationContext(configuration); } @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") private static Context updateResourcesLegacy(Context context, String language) { Locale locale = new Locale(language); Locale.setDefault(locale); Resources resources = context.getResources(); Configuration configuration = resources.getConfiguration(); configuration.locale = locale; if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) { configuration.setLayoutDirection(locale); } resources.updateConfiguration(configuration, resources.getDisplayMetrics()); return context; } }

这里列出的解决方案没有一个对我有用。

如果AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES)，语言没有在android >= 7.0上切换

这个LocaleUtils工作得很好: https://gist.github.com/GigigoGreenLabs/7d555c762ba2d3a810fe

LocaleUtils

public class LocaleUtils {

public static final String LAN_SPANISH      = "es";
public static final String LAN_PORTUGUESE   = "pt";
public static final String LAN_ENGLISH      = "en";

private static Locale sLocale;

public static void setLocale(Locale locale) {
    sLocale = locale;
    if(sLocale != null) {
        Locale.setDefault(sLocale);
    }
}

public static void updateConfig(ContextThemeWrapper wrapper) {
    if(sLocale != null && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
        Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
        configuration.setLocale(sLocale);
        wrapper.applyOverrideConfiguration(configuration);
    }
}

public static void updateConfig(Application app, Configuration configuration) {
    if(sLocale != null && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
        //Wrapping the configuration to avoid Activity endless loop
        Configuration config = new Configuration(configuration);
        config.locale = sLocale;
        Resources res = app.getBaseContext().getResources();
        res.updateConfiguration(config, res.getDisplayMetrics());
    }
}
}

将此代码添加到应用程序

public class App extends Application {
public void onCreate(){
    super.onCreate();

    LocaleUtils.setLocale(new Locale("iw"));
    LocaleUtils.updateConfig(this, getBaseContext().getResources().getConfiguration());
}

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
    LocaleUtils.updateConfig(this, newConfig);
}
}

活动中的代码

public class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    public BaseActivity() {
        LocaleUtils.updateConfig(this);
    }
}

对于Android 7.0牛轧糖(或更低)，请遵循这篇文章:

在Android中以编程方式改变语言

旧的答案 这包括RTL/LTR支持:

public static void changeLocale(Context context, Locale locale) {
    Configuration conf = context.getResources().getConfiguration();
    conf.locale = locale;
    Locale.setDefault(locale);

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
       conf.setLayoutDirection(conf.locale);
    }

    context.getResources().updateConfiguration(conf, context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
}
