App language (Locale) automatically gets reset to default after opening camera to capture a photo or gallery to select image

Question

We have a setLocale function as following:

 public static void setLocale(Context context, String locale) {
            Locale myLocale = new Locale(locale);
            Resources res = context.getResources();
            DisplayMetrics dm = res.getDisplayMetrics();
            Configuration conf = res.getConfiguration();
            conf.locale = myLocale;
            res.updateConfiguration(conf, dm);
        }

We use above method as follows:

sessionManager.setAppLanguage(locale, this);
setLocale(context,sessionManager.getAppLanguage(this));                       

We are using following locales:

English = "en";
        Hindi = "hi";
        Marathi = "ma";

But everytime when we open a camera, capture a photo, some labels get reset to default language and some labels remain in selected language. This happens in case of selecting photo from gallery also.

Note: Issue is device specific. Now we are seeing in Samsung star pro (KITKAT 4.1) and Sony Xperia E3 dual (KITKAT 4.4.4)

Answer 1

It might happen that you are calling the setLocale method in your Activity initialization, such as in onCreate method. You might want to call it in onActivityResult also.
