Add Locale/Resources at runtime

Issue

I want to add languages for my app from server , so I can manage them dynamically at runtime. I mean if my app support en and de languages , if I wanted to support new languages, I want just to download the new resources (string.xml) and make new directory for this new values (values-fr say) from server is that possible ?

Solution

Android does not support this through the resource system. Resources must be compiled into the app. You are welcome to come up with your own system for downloading strings, determining which ones to use based on locale, and so forth, but you will be doing so without using resources.
