I have two different strings.xml for multi-language app. Where can I set that I want to use English strings.xml file independent of phone locale language always but use Chinese language only in case when on splash screen we have chosen it?

To support language setting in your application you need to change current configuration and restart activity to reload all resources. You can change current configuration like this:
void changeLanguage(Context context, String language) {
final Locale locale = new Locale(language);
Locale.setDefault(locale);
final Resources res = context.getResources();
final Configuration config = new Configuration(res.getConfiguration());
config.setLocale(locale);
res.updateConfiguration(config, res.getDisplayMetrics());
}
And then don't forget to recreate your activity activity.recreate(); or reload your resources manually.
Also you need to set your locale on every process start. You can do it in application onCreate:
public void YourApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
changeLanguage(this, getLanguageSettingsFromPreferences());
}
}
