 1. Creating class

You will need to create class Android7LocaleWrapper.java with following code:

public class Android7LocaleWrapper extends ContextWrapper {
public Android7LocaleWrapper(Context base) {
super(base);
}

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1)
public static ContextWrapper wrap(Context context) {

Resources res = context.getResources();

Locale newLocale = new Locale(((MyApplication)
context.getApplicationContext()).getLanguage());

Configuration configuration = res.getConfiguration();

configuration.setLocale(newLocale);

context = context.createConfigurationContext(configuration);

configuration.setLocale(newLocale);

configuration.locale = newLocale;
res.updateConfiguration(configuration, res.getDisplayMetrics());
context = context.createConfigurationContext(configuration);

return new Android7LocaleWrapper(context);

}
}

2. Usage of class

The second step is to use class Android7LocaleWrapper.java in your code in the next way:

- In every activity you will need to add next code:

@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
Context context = Android7LocaleWrapper.wrap(newBase);
super.attachBaseContext(context);
}
