Set the language of your app on startup like :

        Resources res = getResources();
        Configuration newConfig = new Configuration( res.getConfiguration() );
        Locale locale = new Locale( appLanguage );
        newConfig.locale = locale;
        newConfig.setLayoutDirection( locale );
        res.updateConfiguration( newConfig, null );

setLayoutDirection is important in case your appLanguage is differ from the Phone language.
