Get country name from country code

Question

I'd need to get the full country name from the country code. For example for Netherlands, I'd need the Netherlands from the country code NL.

I thought I could do that with Locale like:

Locale loc = new Locale("NL");
loc.getCountry();

but loc.getCountry(); is empty.

Any idea about how to do this, please? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

This should work:

Locale l = new Locale("", "NL");
String country = l.getDisplayCountry();

The first parameter of Locale is the language, which is not useful in your case.

Answer 2

Try to use the other constructor

Locale loc = new Locale("NL", "The Netherlands");

Locale There does not appear to be a predefined Locale for The Netherlands

Answer 3

try like this

Locale loc = new Locale("","NL");
loc.getDisplayCountry();

Hope this will help out.

Answer 4

for a full solution TelephonyManager (from this solution):

TelephonyManager teleMgr = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String localeCountry = teleMgr.getNetworkCountryIso();
if (localeCountry != null) {
    Locale loc = new Locale("",localeCountry);
    Log.d(TAG, "User is from " + loc);
}
