choose resources from app language (not system language)

Issue

My android app has its own language, which can be not equal with device system language. For ex - MyApp has 'ru' language, but phone has 'en' lang. Can i do smth with app to take my app language locale resources, not by system language?

PS - my app language I changing by this code:

public static void setLocale(String language) {
        Locale locale = new Locale(language);
        Locale.setDefault(locale);
        Configuration config = new Configuration();
        config.locale = locale;
        SvoApplication.getContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,
                                                                       SvoApplication.getContext()
                                                                                     .getResources()
                                                                                     .getDisplayMetrics());
        SharedPreferencesManager.setCurrentLanguage(language);
    }

And all data that have taken from db is localized by sharedPref value of app language

PPS - i understand that i must use strings-en.xml/strings-ru.xml or etc. And it worked when i change my app lang. But when i rotate screen for example - all resources are changing to what system default language is

Solution

you can just override the onConfigurationChanged method in your class which extends Application.class. And set the config.locale same as above

public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration config) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(config);
        /*here code to set locale*/
}

and now it will work fine, when you rotate your screen.
