Locale locale = new Locale("ar");
    Locale.setDefault(locale);
    Configuration config = new Configuration();

    context.getApplicationContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config, null)

Answer 1

Firstly, check your device supports Arabic language.

Secondly, make sure that the following methods are used to change the language on Android at runtime for different API's:

updateConfiguration for API < 17

createConfigurationContext for API ≥ 17
