It depends on your phone language settings. You can change language settings in code, but not forget to change to default after closing your app.

Resources standardResources = getApplicationContext();
DisplayMetrics metrics = standardResources.getDisplayMetrics();
Configuration config = new Configuration(standardResources.getConfiguration());
config.locale = new Locale("ja") // change
standardResources.updateConfiguration(config, metrics);

// in onDestroy()
config.locale = Locale.getDefault(); // default
standardResources.updateConfiguration(config, metrics);

in your MapActivity.onCreate method you can ovverride the default locale with one line of code, the following is for hebrew:

Locale.setDefault(new Locale("iw","IL"));

Please note that this changed the locale for your entire activity so if you have any localized resources they will be affected as well.

Hope this helps.
