Change Language For Xamarin Android App Using Resources

I have a requirement to change language of App on selection of radio buttons. App already has localization implemented using Android Resources. I have tried below solutions in diff

Solution 1:

I found the solution after a bit of hit and trial - Found that I was using a wrong constructor of Locale, and simply changing it started reflecting the updated language. Below is the working code:

var locale = new Java.Util.Locale(lang, region); // lang => nl; region => BE
Java.Util.Locale.Default = locale;
var context = Application.Context;
context.Resources.Configuration.Locale = locale;

context.Resources.UpdateConfiguration(context.Resources.Configuration, context.Resources.DisplayMetrics);
string title = Application.Context.GetString(Resource.String.title_settings); // Reflects text in updated language

Solution 2:

Have a look at the Xamarin docs: Android Localization and especially the section "GetText Method".

To retrieve translated strings in code, use the GetText method and pass the resource ID:

var cancelText = Resources.GetText (Resource.String.taskcancel);
