        Configuration config = new Configuration();
        config.locale = locale;
        if (lang.equals(getString(R.string.settings_language_arabic_value)))
            config.setLayoutDirection(new Locale("ar"));
        else config.setLayoutDirection(new Locale("en"));
        getApplicationContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config, null);
    } else {
        Configuration config = new Configuration();
        config.locale = locale;
        if (lang.equals(getString(R.string.settings_language_arabic_value)))
            config.setLayoutDirection(new Locale("ar"));
        else config.setLayoutDirection(new Locale("en"));

finally I figured a solution ..
will share it if any one want it

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    String localLanguage = MySingleton.getmInstance(this).getAppLang();
    if (localLanguage.equals(getString(R.string.settings_language_arabic_value))) {
        setLocale("ar", this);
    } else if (localLanguage.equals(getString(R.string.settings_language_english_value))) {
        Locale localeEn = new Locale("en");
        setLocale("en", this);
    }
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_branches);
    .........
    .........
}

the change in code is here: 

private void setLocale(String lang, Context context) {
    Configuration config = context.getResources().getConfiguration();
    Locale locale = new Locale(lang);
    Locale.setDefault(locale);
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
        config.setLocale(locale);
        getApplicationContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config, null);
    } else {
        config.locale = locale;
        getApplicationContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config, null);
    }
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
        config.setLocale(locale);
        config.setLayoutDirection(locale);
        context.getResources().updateConfiguration(config, context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
        context.createConfigurationContext(config);
    } else {
        context.getResources().updateConfiguration(config, context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
    }
}


I hope this help anyone
