Language change stop working

Question

I am facing the issue on language change option inside the app.

I have implemented 2 languages on my app 1) English and 2) Hebrew Based on the selection, I am trying to convert the app language but somehow its stop working.

Below is the code of language what I am using.

public void changelanguage(String languageToLoad, Context context) {

        Locale locale = new Locale(languageToLoad);
        Locale.setDefault(locale);
        Configuration config = new Configuration();
        context.getResources().updateConfiguration(config,
                context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

    }

and for hebrew language I am using "iw" word for comparison.

Below is the log of logcat:

Please suggest me where I am wrong. Its suddenly stop working.

Do you have an exception on the output when it stop working ? — Flyzzx, Jul 30 '18 at 12:34
@Flyzzx, Just checked by printing language and getting changed language. So may be the issue is UI not reflecting according to language any solution for that? — Himadri, Jul 30 '18 at 13:22
Can you post the output (from the console in Anroid studio) when your app stop working ? — Flyzzx, Jul 30 '18 at 13:55

Are you using any webview in your App ? Because there is a known issue due to using webview that reset local language to your default language.

cf. Android Nougat 7.1 resets Locale after launching WebView

Yes I am using the webview in my app but it is working fine before few days suddenly its stopped working without doing any change on code and now it is not working below 7.0 version also. Actually the language change is working fine but it will not reflect on UI – Himadri Jul 31 '18 at 05:23
I had the same problem, when I instantiate my webview the local language previously set is going back to default language. I didn't notice it at first, but I am pretty sure it is related to your problem. The solution is to reset language after webview initialization. Trust me, it took me weeks to understand where this problem came from and I still don't understand why it exists ... – Vincent Chann Jul 31 '18 at 12:01
