I have an App with multiple languages (fr, it, en, pt, es) and I would like to dinamically choose which to use at runtime.

Example:

I'm from US but I choose to "discover" Italy. I'd like my app to use string.xml from resource "it" even if my default language from phone is "en".

I do not want to modify the file string.xml at runtime, I want to use another string.xml, different from my default choosen by the Android. Of course, my phone should remain in EN - I just want to change for my app at that certain point.

You can set the Locale for your app with something like this, maybe on the onCreate method of your Activity:

Configuration configuration = resources.getConfiguration();
Locale esLocale = new Locale("es", "ES"); //Spanish
Locale.setDefault(locale);
configuration.locale = locale;
resources.updateConfiguration(configuration, resources.getDisplayMetrics());
