What is needed in addition to suffixed resource folders (values-es) to support multiple languages in an app (Android)?

It looks like the way to support another language is to include extra folders, like values-es. Great, but I don't understand how the app will know which resources to load. When a Spanish speaker downloads my app from Google Play, will it just know to load from values-es based on her phone settings? How can I test this behavior before publishing an apk with both English and Spanish?

Yes.

Set your phone or emulator to Spanish. You can find that in the Settings app.
