• Android Studio Build: 4.2 canary 8
• Version of Gradle Plugin: 4.2.0-alpha08
• Version of Gradle: 6.6
• Version of Java: 1.8
• OS: Linux
• Version of Compose: 1.0.0-alpha01

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Use androidx.compose.ui.res.stringResource in an Activity with android:configChanges="locale|layoutDirection"> declared in the manifest
2. Change the device language to one which has a translation for the string in the previous step
3. Observe that the old string is displayed instead of the one for the new language

This seems to be because stringResource gets the string from the Context in the ContextAmbient, but ContextAmbient doesn't change when the Configuration changes.

I've been working around this for now with something like

@Composable
fun localizedString(@StringRes id: Int): String {
    val context = ContextAmbient.current
    val resources = remember(ConfigurationAmbient.current) { context.resources }
    return resources.getString(id)
}

... but it would be nice if compose handled this. I also suspect that this affects other @Composables that resolve resource IDs.
