Change language in UI on the fly Android

Question

I created an application with localized strings in Spanish and English, located at res/values (Spanish is default) and res/values-en. The application display the language as the system, but how can I change the application language separatedly of the system?

Any suggestion is welcome.

I think you should set Locale programatically as explained here

With some changes, it works for me. I had to reduce the language list. And force application restart after language change. – Roberto Tellez Ibarra Sep 25 '15 at 14:40
