How to restart the app when user is in secound actvity and changed language in android

Question

I have 2 activities Activity1,Activity2 , when i open my application Activity1 will get displayed from there i will navigate to Activity2 and this time Activity1 is in background.

When i am in Activity2 ,i am Activity2 i am opening the settings and changing the language, then system reload the Activity2 . At this point in time i don't want to display activity2 ,i want to restart my application from starting.

Currently i have tried below logic in fragments which i have used in Activity2 to eliminate the crash.

Fragments:

 public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(
            R.layout.point_selection_list_fragment, container, false);
    if (savedInstanceState != null) {
        Utils.removeFragment(this);
        return view;
    }
return view;
}

Hope it will help.

Intent i = getBaseContext().getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(getBaseContext().getPackageName() );
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(i);

Only problem with this it will not restart the application, only re-create the classes. Thus, any static variables within the classes will retain values from previous runs

Ignore above . Below solved my problem. protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(null); Intent i = getBaseContext().getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(getBaseContext().getPackageName() ); i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP); startActivity(i); //Make sure to dismiss the alert dialogs if any } – Krishna Feb 26 '16 at 04:24
