I want to give the Spinner to change the language of the app. I am creating a demo app, in this I have multiple strings.xml files. I have created a Spinner and added the list of languages.
On Click of a language(spinner item) I want to change the language of App.
How can it be done?
strings.xml
<string name="app_name">Multi Language App</string> <string name="action_settings">Settings</string> <string name="welcome">Welcome!</string> <string name="email">Email Address</string> <string name="password">Password</string> <string name="login">Login</string> <string name="signup">Don\'t have account?

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); getActionBar().hide(); Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinnerLanguage); // Create an ArrayAdapter using the string array and a default spinner layout ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.languages, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item); // Specify the layout to use when the list of choices appears adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); // Apply the adapter to the spinner spinner.setAdapter(adapter); } public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) { // An item was selected. You can retrieve the selected item using // parent.getItemAtPosition(pos) if(pos == 0) { //what to be done here to chnage the app's language? } } public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) { // Another interface callback } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu); return true; } } Can anyone help with this?
