Do you get an error in the logs? If so, can you send it? Also I guess it's an emulator with Google APIs, therefore test butler can't be used. See #71

Try using another emulator image with a different API level such as 7.0. This is a limitation due to the Android project #71 (comment). If they release an emulator version without Google APIs we wouldn't have this problem. Best think I can advise is that you submit a bug on the Android tracker at b.android.com for an AOSP Oreo emulator image. Sorry, I can't be of more help.

Have posted a bug myself about Oreo emulator on the Android bug tracker. Star it if you want to vote for it. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/79784000

@Kisty I have found the root cause https://proandroiddev.com/change-language-programmatically-at-runtime-on-android-5e6bc15c758 that causes fails to set Locale in >=Android8.

Question: Are you able to change locale on Android8 and above?
