Check for Value folder in android

As we all know that we have values folder arranged depending on language selected for example value-en, value-ja. I just want to check whether the specific value folder exists or not? For example i want to check value-fr is present or not in res folder?

The first thing that comes to my mind is to define boolean item in values/localized.xml (or some other resource file like strings.xml):

<resources>
    <bool name="localized">false</bool>
</resources>

Then override it in each values-xx folder:

<resources>
    <bool name="localized">true</bool>
</resources>

Now you can create Resource object for specific locale and check localized resource value:

Resources currentResources = getResources();
AssetManager assets = currentResources.getAssets();
DisplayMetrics metrics = currentResources.getDisplayMetrics();
Configuration config = new Configuration(currentResources.getConfiguration());
config.locale = Locale.FRENCH;
Resources localizedResources = new Resources(assets, metrics, config);
if (localizedResources.getBoolean(R.bool.localized)) {
    // values-fr exists
}
