In recent reference, Locale has information of language/country code which are suitable in ISO 639-1/ISO 3166-1.

ISO 639-1 is two-letter lowercase language code. Arabic is defined ar in this format.

You can set locale for Arabic like this :

Locale loc = new Locale("ar");

Note:

Android Locale reference: https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Locale.html

ISO 639-1 code reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes

hope that its works for you.
