How do I access default locale resource strings in Android whilst in a different locale?

Question

If I switch my phone's locale to German for example, I still want the option to be able to access the english / default resources using something along the lines of:

getString(R.string.some_text, locale);

I've tried switching the default locale using

Locale.setDefault

but as expected, when using R.getString(x), my resource was still in German.

Answer:

Changing Locale within the app itself
