The following example shows the usage of java.util.ResourceBundle.Control.getControl() method.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Locale; import java.util.ResourceBundle; import java.util.ResourceBundle.Control; public class ResourceBundleControlDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a new ResourceBundle.Control with default format ResourceBundle.Control rbc = ResourceBundle.Control.getControl(Control.FORMAT_DEFAULT); // print the CandidateLocales System.out.println("" + rbc.getCandidateLocales("hello", Locale.US)); } }
Assuming we have a resource file hello_en_US.properties available in your CLASSPATH, with the following content. This file will be used as an input for our example program −
hello = Hello World!
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
[en_US, en, ]
