We can remove the null in the translation editor in Studio.
In newer Android versions the use this code to change the language:
AppCompatDelegate.setApplicationLocales(LocaleListCompat.forLanguageTags(locale))

Description
I added another language, Kissi, spoken in Guinea. This is not official supported by Android. (I want to add hundreds of languages that are not supported by Android in the future.) I created a local string resource file in this folder: kq-rGN
Android studio shows this language as null in the language editor.
Still I can change language in the app to Kissi and in Andoid 5.1.1 it finds the correct resource file, but in newer Android version it doesn't find the resource file. It might be because Android Studio says it is null?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Create string resource in any language not official listed for Android
2. Make a language switcher in the app
3. Switch to that language
