The ability to change the locale of a device via ADB (Android Debug Bridge) has become a crucial tool for developers working with various Android OS versions, including 8.0, 7.0, 6.0, 5.0, 4.4, 4.3, and older. Notably, this process does not require rooting the device.

Using ADB on a computer, developers can quickly switch the device's locale to evaluate how their application's user interface appears in different languages. This functionality is particularly beneficial for testing and ensuring a seamless experience for users across various languages.

Usage Instructions:

Install the application.
Set up an ADB connection to your device (refer to ADB documentation for guidance).
For Android OS 4.2 and later, execute the following command in your command console:
- adb shell pm grant net.sanapeli.adbchangelanguage android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
To change the language, examples include:
- Brazilian Portuguese: adb shell am start -n net.sanapeli.adbchangelanguage/.AdbChangeLanguage -e language pt-rBR
- French and English: adb shell am start -n net.sanapeli.adbchangelanguage/.AdbChangeLanguage -e language fr,en

This tool is especially advantageous for developers who seek to integrate locale switching into their testing automation processes. It has been verified to work on various recent Android OS versions, including 8.0 (Oreo, Google Pixel XL), 7.0 (Nougat, LG G5), and earlier iterations down to 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich, Asus Transformer tablet).
