Get language in android?

Question

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?

Answer 1

Locale.getDefault().getLanguage()

Returns the language code for this Locale or the empty string if no language was set.
