switch language

应用内部语言切换

一般应用内部进行语言切换可以使用下面这段代码，可以使用在2.x平台和4.0等平台：

	private void changeLanguage(Locale locale) {
		if (locale != getResources().getConfiguration().locale) {
			Resources res = getResources();
			Configuration config = res.getConfiguration();
			config.locale = locale;
			DisplayMetrics dm = res.getDisplayMetrics();
			res.updateConfiguration(config, dm);
			Intent i = getIntent();
			i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
			startActivity(i);
		}

	}

上面那段代码就是应用内部语言切换，不会切换系统语言，不消耗系统资源，比较方便。

切换系统语言主要考虑太消耗系统资源，

如更改配置，清除资源，重新启动并加载资源，包括所有app资源，还有动画等。。。所以消耗比较大，不建议对系统进行切换
 1：待测试
 public class MainActivity extends Activity {

SharedPreferences mPrefs1;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    mPrefs1 = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
    String languageToLoad = mPrefs1.getString("languagePref", Locale.getDefault().getLanguage());
    Locale locale = new Locale(languageToLoad); 
    Locale.setDefault(locale);
    Configuration config = new Configuration();
    config.locale = locale;
    getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
  super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
    mPrefs1 = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
    String languageToLoad = mPrefs1.getString("languagePref", Locale.getDefault().getLanguage());
    Locale locale = new Locale(languageToLoad); 
    Locale.setDefault(locale);
    Configuration config = new Configuration();
    config.locale = locale;
    getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}

// Declaring the Menu options
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{       
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu);
    return true;
}

//handle menu item selection
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
  switch (item.getItemId()) {
    case R.id.menu_switch_language:
        String languageToLoad  = getResources().getString(R.string.switch_language);

        mPrefs1 = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = mPrefs1.edit();
        editor.putString("languagePref", languageToLoad);
        editor.commit(); // Very important to save the preference                      
        finish();
        startActivity(getIntent());
        return true;
    default:
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
  }
}

2：
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.res.Configuration;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class Main extends Activity {
  /** Called when the activity is first created. */
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    String languageToLoad  = "cn";
    Locale locale = new Locale(languageToLoad); 
    Locale.setDefault(locale);
    Configuration config = new Configuration();
    config.locale = locale;
    getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config, 
    getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
    this.setContentView(R.layout.main);
  }
}
 预期：2.2以上无效，即使manifest配置locale属性。待测试

3：
  Resources standardResources = getBaseContext().getResources();

    AssetManager assets = standardResources.getAssets();

    DisplayMetrics metrics = standardResources.getDisplayMetrics();

    Configuration config = new Configuration(standardResources.getConfiguration());

    config.locale = new Locale(languageToLoad);

    Resources defaultResources = new Resources(assets, metrics, config);
