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

try like this

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

Hope this will help out.

Answer 2

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.
