Method Detail

getDisplayCountryback to summary
public abstract String getDisplayCountry(String countryCode, Locale locale)

Returns a localized name for the given IETF BCP47 region code (either ISO 3166 country code or UN M.49 area codes) and the given locale that is appropriate for display to the user. For example, if countryCode is "FR" and locale is en_US, getDisplayCountry() will return "France"; if countryCode is "US" and locale is fr_FR, getDisplayCountry() will return "Etats-Unis". If the name returned cannot be localized according to locale, (say, the provider does not have a Japanese name for Croatia), this method returns null.

Parameters
countryCode:String

the country(region) code string in the form of two upper-case letters between 'A' (U+0041) and 'Z' (U+005A) or the UN M.49 area code in the form of three digit letters between '0' (U+0030) and '9' (U+0039).

locale:Locale

the desired locale

Returns:String

the name of the given country code for the specified locale, or null if it's not available.

Exceptions
NullPointerException:
if countryCode or locale is null
IllegalArgumentException:
if countryCode is not in the form of two upper-case letters or three digit letters, or locale isn't one of the locales returned from getAvailableLocales().

public abstract String getDisplayLanguage(String languageCode, Locale locale)

Returns a localized name for the given IETF BCP47 language code and the given locale that is appropriate for display to the user. For example, if languageCode is "fr" and locale is en_US, getDisplayLanguage() will return "French"; if languageCode is "en" and locale is fr_FR, getDisplayLanguage() will return "anglais". If the name returned cannot be localized according to locale, (say, the provider does not have a Japanese name for Croatian), this method returns null.

Parameters
languageCode:String

the language code string in the form of two to eight lower-case letters between 'a' (U+0061) and 'z' (U+007A)

locale:Locale

the desired locale

Returns:String

the name of the given language code for the specified locale, or null if it's not available.

Exceptions
NullPointerException:
if languageCode or locale is null
IllegalArgumentException:
if languageCode is not in the form of two or three lower-case letters, or locale isn't one of the locales returned from getAvailableLocales().

getDisplayScriptback to summary
public String getDisplayScript(String scriptCode, Locale locale)

For example, if scriptCode is "Latn" and locale is en_US, getDisplayScript() will return "Latin"; if scriptCode is "Cyrl" and locale is fr_FR, getDisplayScript() will return "cyrillique". If the name returned cannot be localized according to locale, (say, the provider does not have a Japanese name for Cyrillic), this method returns null. The default implementation returns null.
