How to Get the current language in Android device?
While doing internalization in android application, we should know what is the current language in android device. This example demonstrate about how to Get the current language in Android device.
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".MainActivity" android:background="#dde4dd" android:gravity="center" android:orientation="vertical"> <TextView android:id="@+id/language" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <Button android:id="@+id/click" android:layout_marginTop="10dp" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="click"/> </LinearLayout>
In the above code we have taken Button. When user click on button, it will take device country name and language and append to text view.
Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java
package com.example.andy.myapplication;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import java.util.Locale;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView language;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
language = findViewById(R.id.language);
Button button = findViewById(R.id.click);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String languagename = Locale.getDefault().getDisplayLanguage();
String country = Locale.getDefault().getCountry();
language.setText("Language " + languagename + " Country name " + country);
}
});
}
}In the above code, we have used Locale class to get Display language and country as shown below -
String languagename = Locale.getDefault().getDisplayLanguage(); String country = Locale.getDefault().getCountry();
