Class LocalizationHelper

java.lang.Object

com.alexvasilkov.android.commons.ui.LocalizationHelper

public class LocalizationHelper
extends java.lang.Object

Helper to set default locale to a specified value.
For example you may want to sync localization from strings.xml with system localization (e.g. DateFormat, etc). This will help to avoid cases when part of the app is translated into one language while some elements are translated into another (system one).

To use this helper you will need to set desired locale using setLocale(Locale) or setLanguage(String) and then wrap context by overriding ContextThemeWrapper.attachBaseContext(android.content.Context) and wrapping context using wrap(Context) method:
