strings in android:label (title) in Android Manifest are not translated

I have several activities declared in Android Manifest with the tag android:label and the correspondent string. For example:

<activity
android:name=".actCheckItemEdit"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:label="@string/check_item_edition"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.ActionBar" />


The thing is that sometimes the title of the activity doesn't change the language when supposed to, but all the other elements do. The same happen to me when I want to query the DB and manually set a 'Select one option...' message as the first item the user sees, i.e.:

public Cursor fetchWhere(String where) throws SQLException

String strSQL = "SELECT " + " -1 AS " + KEY_ROWID + "," + "-1 AS " + KEY_ID + "," + "' "
+ valoresGenerales.appContext.getString(R.string.str_seleccione_centro) + "' AS " + KEY_DESCRIP
+ ", -1 AS " + KEY_ID_V9 + ", 0 AS " + KEY_CC_LATITUD + ", 0 AS " + KEY_CC_LONGITUD;
strSQL += " UNION ";

strSQL += " SELECT " + KEY_ROWID + "," + KEY_ID + "," + KEY_DESCRIP + ", " + KEY_ID_V9 + ", " + KEY_CC_LATITUD
+ ", " + KEY_CC_LONGITUD + " FROM contratos ";

Cursor mCursor = mDb.rawQuery(strSQL, null);
return mCursor;



Do you know why may this happen?
Thank you.

Default title bar’s title doesn’t translate.
You need to use custom one
