what is the correct way to force existing activities to reload using the new local
- by pengwang
have a settings dialog/activity where I allow the user to change the locale.  Within that activity i call 
 Resources res = ctx.getResources(); 
// Change locale settings on the device 
DisplayMetrics dm = res.getDisplayMetrics(); 
android.content.res.Configuration conf = res.getConfiguration(); 
conf.locale = new Locale(language_code.toLowerCase(), 
coutry_code.toUpperCase()); 
res.updateConfiguration(conf, dm); 
and call onChanged() for my settings ListView...  everything changes 
perfectly.  Very nice. 
Then I hit the back button to go back to the previous activity 
thinking everything should be switched; nope.  Everything is still in 
the previous locale.  So I added the above code in the onResume() of 
the activity thinking that would do it; nope.  Also, when I click the 
menu button of this activity again (not first time) I do not get 
called in onCreateOptionsMenu() it just displays the previous menu. 
My question is what is the correct way to force existing activities to 
reload using the new local?
