I need to get the current language selected in the Android device. When I use below code: 

Log.v("Language: ", Locale.getDefault().getDisplayLanguage());
Log.v("Language: ", getResources().getConfiguration().locale.getDisplayLanguage());

The output is always same:

V/Language:: English

Below picture from android emulator selected language:

android emulator selected language

When I change the language of emulator, I can get the logs in the picture on the Android console.(But getDisplayLanguage() function returning English)

android console

  • Locale.getDefault() always return english because default of android language is english ;) remove getDefault() and check it – niceumang Jul 09 '19 at 06:51

String locale = context.getResources().getConfiguration().locale.getDisplayName();
String locale = java.util.Locale.getDefault().getDisplayName();

They are different. The first can change if the user switches the Locale.

The second is the one that is pre-installed on the phone. It never changes no matter what the user does.

Happy Coding :)

  • My result hasn't changed. If you tried it and it works correctly, the error is probably in my emulator. – x-27 Jul 09 '19 at 07:07
