How to display list of languages with their native letters? - android

I want to convert language codes to their display forms (with their native letters). For example:
Need to convert these language codes :en, ru, it, ja
Result should be this list:
English, Русский, Italiano, 日本語
How to do that?


The Locale class should do what you want.
getCountry() will give you a country code, for which you can obtain the name via getDisplayName().

How can I check language in EditText?

I'm using 3 language(English, Korean, Japanese) in my app.
Is it possible to distinguish String the language in EditText?

A String or EditText doesn't contain information about the language, therefore you need a workaround.
Options:
Check the keyboard language.
Scan the String for code points in a specific range to identify Asian languages. It won't work if they share the same character set, for example english and german.
Implement your own solution.

Android - Translating language codes

I get a response from a webservice that will return several language codes (ISO 639-2) as options. I now want to translate those into a human understandable word.
For example:
eng-> English
ger -> German
fre -> French
How would you translate those words. Should I be using the strings.xml? But how will I get the Resource ID of those words?
Thanks a lot

You can convert 639-2 codes to 639-1 code using answer for this question
and after you get a 2 letter code construct Locale object and use getDisplayLanguage method

Get language in android?

In my android app I need to know which is the language of the phone in this format :fr (for francais), en (for english),etc.. How can I do this? I know that I can display language with this :
Locale.getDefault().getDisplayLanguage()
but the result is francais,english,...
Can I obtain somehow the initials of languages?

Locale.getDefault().getLanguage()
Returns the language code for this Locale or the empty string if no language was set.
http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Locale.html#getLanguage()

How about using
Locale.getDefault().getLanguage();

I think you can try one of these two.
Locale.getDefault().getLanguage();
This will give language iso code i.e. "de", "ru". OR
Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().locale;
This returns global shared Resources object that provides access to only system resources.
