App not finding resources after locale change in Android

votes

I am working on a project which requires on the fly language changes. I am attempting to set the desired Locale but as soon as I do, the app crashes complaining that it cannot find Resources (things like R.layout.* R.drawable.*)

This is the code I am using to set the new Locale:

            String languageToLoad = "es";
            Locale locale = new Locale(languageToLoad);
            Locale.setDefault(locale);
            Configuration config = new Configuration();
            config.locale = locale;
            getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,
                    getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

Edit: added log

Post you stacktrace from LogCat. – ChuongPham
As per your log, it looks like you have a problem with one or more of your resource files (strings.xml) at line 25. Check this line. – ChuongPham
I think that line 25 is referring to the layout it is trying to inflate, not the strings file. – Daniel Jackson

This error:

Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String array resource ID #0x7f08001e at android.content.res.Resources.getStringArray(Resources.java:451) at com.flavorburst.mcdonalds.NavigationDrawerFragment

refers to a string array that you have defined in one of your XML files, but you forgot to create the string array value in /values/array.xml. For example, in one of your XML files, you may have specified a string array value of "arrayNames", but you forgot to declare it in /values/array.xml like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <string-array name="arrayNames"/>
</resources>

So, at runtime, the compiler will complain that it cannot find "arrayNames" in /values/array.xml. Hence, the error you got when you run your app.

Have you tried to clean and rebuild your project? If you are using eclipse got to Project -> Clean. And then build again. If you are using Android Studio and gradle, type the following command line on a terminal: 

./gradlew clean

or

use the Build -> Rebuild Project
