Heya, one Android specific question. Is there any way to manually tigger onConfigurationChanged?
I’m dealing with the locales, and when I do update it manually I need to somehow recreate the views, recreating activity will kick user out and he will need to re-log so I would rather try to avoid that.

I’m also trying with the following but it doesn’t work completely which is weird in fairness:

val res = resources
val configuration = res.configuration
configuration.setLocale(Locale(preferences.userLocale))
onConfigurationChanged(configuration)

So you want to have onConfigurationChanged get called in activity when configuration changed, but without recreating entire activity?

Well I want to replicate what happens when you do configurationChanges . For example. I’m gonna setup new Locale and then enter split screen mode and upon exiting it my Locale changes will be reflected on the app.

Activity won’t restart.

Not sure if it helps, but you set android:configChanges attribute in the manifest, then for configuration changes enumerated there, activity won’t restart

and instead the onConfigurationChanged callback will be called

I’m doing this at the moment:

var orientation1: Int = ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE
var orientation: Int = ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT
                    requestedOrientation = orientation1                    requestedOrientation = orientation

It does auto rotate and that way it does onConfigurationChange
