Create a new class extends ContextWrapper

public class MyContextWrapper extends ContextWrapper {
    public MyContextWrapper(Context base) {
        super(base);
    }

    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
    public static ContextWrapper wrap(Context context, Locale newLocale) {
        Resources res = context.getResources();
        Configuration configuration = res.getConfiguration();

        if (VersionUtils.isAfter24()) {
            configuration.setLocale(newLocale);

            LocaleList localeList = new LocaleList(newLocale);
            LocaleList.setDefault(localeList);
            configuration.setLocales(localeList);

            context = context.createConfigurationContext(configuration);

        } else if (VersionUtils.isAfter17()) {
            configuration.setLocale(newLocale);
            context = context.createConfigurationContext(configuration);

        } else {
            configuration.locale = newLocale;
            res.updateConfiguration(configuration, res.getDisplayMetrics());
        }

        return new ContextWrapper(context);
    }
}

override Activity's attachBaseContext method

@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
    Locale languageType = LanguageUtil.getLanguageType(mContext);
    super.attachBaseContext(MyContextWrapper.wrap(newBase, languageType));
}

finish the activity and start it again,new locale will become effective.
