This is for my comment on Andrey's answer but I cant include code in the comments.
Is you preference activity being called from you main activity? you could place this in the on resume...
@Override
protected void onResume() {
if (!(PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(
getApplicationContext()).getString("listLanguage", "en")
.equals(langPreference))) {
refresh();
}
super.onResume();
}
private void refresh() {
finish();
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Main.this, Main.class);
startActivity(myIntent);
}
