private void setLocale(String localeCode){
        Locale locale = new Locale(localeCode);
        Locale.setDefault(locale);
        Configuration config = new Configuration();
        config.locale = locale;
        getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config, getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
    }

Here is what I got so far. I know this question is resolved, but my solution is easier and more compact. No other changes are needed, no android:configurationChanges attribute for all activities in your manifest.

public class SigmaMiddleEastApplication extends PPGApplication {

    @Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
        newConfig.locale = Locale.ENGLISH;
        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

        Locale.setDefault(newConfig.locale);
        getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(newConfig, getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
    }
}

BEWARE this may cause problems: What could cause an Android activity to relaunch itself infinitely when returning from camera?

Add the following in the manifest (for every activity) :

android:configChanges="locale"
