Android Question How to change the language of GoogleMaps

Ohanian · Mar 6, 2017

Hi,

I’m trying to change the language of Google map, I’ve tried to change the Locale but it has not effect on the map.

Here’s a topic on stackoverflow :

B4X:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22863288/how-to-change-language-google-map-v2-android

I’m using this code :

Changing Locale of Android

B4X:

  Dim DeviceLocale AsLocale

  Log(DeviceLocale.GetDefault)

  ApplicationResources.SetDefaultLocale(DeviceLocale.CHINA)

  ApplicationResources.Initialize(ApplicationResources.RESOURCE_SOURCE_APPLICATION)

  Log(DeviceLocale.GetDefault)

  ApplicationResources.SetDefaultLocale(DeviceLocale.CHINESE)

  ApplicationResources.Initialize(ApplicationResources.RESOURCE_SOURCE_APPLICATION)

  Log(DeviceLocale.GetDefault)

Log !!! :

B4X:

(Locale) en_US
(Locale) en_US
(Locale) en_US

2nd and 3rd log should be CHINESE not English!

any suggestion?

How to set the locale to Farsi (Persian) ?

I've tried these values but got the error message.

FARSI
PERSIAN
IRAN
fa_IR
ARABIC

B4X:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Field: ARABIC not found in: java.util.Locale

found it :

B4X:

    Dim DeviceLocale As Locale
    DeviceLocale.Initialize2("fa", "IR")

    Dim jo As JavaObject
    jo.InitializeStatic("java.util.Locale").RunMethod("setDefault", Array(DeviceLocale))
