I want to change the language of the program and exit the program, and after re-entering the program, the original language of the device can not change the language selected by the program. if there is any way please help me at this point. here is my codes :
class LanguageActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
private lateinit var databinding: ActivityLanguageBinding
private lateinit var locale: Locale
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
databinding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this,R.layout.activity_language)
val languageList = ArrayList<String>()
languageList.add("Select")
languageList.add("English")
languageList.add("Persian")
languageList.add("Pashto")
val adapter = ArrayAdapter(this, androidx.appcompat.R.layout.support_simple_spinner_dropdown_item, languageList)
databinding.spinnerLanguage.adapter = adapter
databinding.spinnerLanguage.onItemSelectedListener = object : AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener{
override fun onItemSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>?, view: View?, position: Int, id: Long) {
when(position){
0 -> {
}
1 -> setLocale("en")
2 -> setLocale("fa")
3 -> setLocale("ps")
}
}
override fun onNothingSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>?) {
}
}
}
fun setLocale (languageName: String){
locale = Locale(languageName)
val res = resources
val dm = res.displayMetrics
val conf = res.configuration
conf.locale = locale
res.updateConfiguration(conf,dm)
val refresh = Intent(this, LanguageActivity::class.java)
startActivity(refresh)
}
my project does not have even 1 error, but the thing that I want is in too many apps by changing language inside them and they keep selected language, but mine after closing and reopennig, the selected language is changed by default device language!
changing onCreate() to onResume() and onStop() as the lifecycle changed nothing in my app. thanks a lot to whom is trying to help me :)
