You can try this using Indonesian, Indonesia (in_ID) from

https://web.archive.org/web/20120814113314/http://colincooper.net/blog/2011/02/17/android-supported-language-and-locales/

so something like

Locale INDONESIA = new Locale("in", "ID");

then assign using

myLocale = INDONESIA;

case 0: Locale INDONESIA = new Locale("in","ID"); myLocale = INDONESIA; break; like that right? – asqa Jan 29 '18 at 06:38
yup. you can move INDONESIA to a static field if you need to use it a lot/at other places. or straight away set myLocale = new Locale("in","ID"); if it is only used in one place. – Angel Koh Jan 29 '18 at 07:11

You cannot add the language to the class since it is final.

The Java class java.util.Locale does not have all the locales and countries as static members. You will have to create the one you need and then create another method for checking the locale. You will need to replace the logic in your getUserLocale method.

Locale locale = new Locale("in", "ID");

That will give you the correct locale object.

You can use

defaultLocale = Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().getLocales().get(0);

to get the user's device locale.
