Change colors according to the selected language on Android

Issue

How do I contextualize (language) colors.xml file in Android Studio?

This is my code currently:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color name="colorPrimary">#999900</color>
</resources>

colorPrimary remains the same for all languages.

How do I make colorPrimary be black (#000000) when the device's language is French?

Solution

You can copy the colors.xml file into different resource folders.. one for each language.

res/values/colors.xml --> Default colors
res/values/values-en --> Colors for English 
res/values/values-es --> Colors for Spanish

Then, you can override the <color name="colorPrimary">#999900</color> on each folder.

You don't need create a folder to all possible languages... If color.xml isn't found for a specific language, the default file will be used.
