How to apply BaseActivity's CalligraphyContextWrapper in Android 26 ?

[dor506]

Hi

In android 25 and above, updateConfiguration is deprecated https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/Resources.html#updateConfiguration(android.content.res.Configuration,%20android.util.DisplayMetrics)

Until now I used this function to apply language for the application ("iw" language). But it is no longer working in android 26

There's a nice fix for that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39705739/android-n-change-language-programatically/40849142#40849142

The problems is that it does the same thing as you do in BaseActivity's attachBaseContext method.

How to combine both of them then?

Thanks In Advance!

You have to wrap both ContextWrapper

@Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
        ContextWrapper localeContextWrapper  = LocaleContextWrapper.wrap(newBase, new Locale("en", "US"));
        ContextWrapper calligraphyContextWrapper = CalligraphyContextWrapper.wrap(localeContextWrapper);
        super.attachBaseContext(calligraphyContextWrapper);
    }
