I need to convert a given string into locale. String has value "fr_US" and I need to convert it into locale (in java.util.locale).
I found one method in "org.apache.commons.lang.LocaleUtils" that does the conversion but I am looking for a method that converts into "java.util.locale"
String val = "fr_US";
locale l1 = LocaleUtils.toLocale(val);
// this converts into org.apache.commons.lang.LocaleUtils

The Java Locale class object represents a specific geographic, cultural, or political region. It is a mechanism to for identifying objects, not a container for the objects themselves. A Locale object logically consists of the fields like languages, script, country, variant, extensions.
A Locale object represents a specific geographical, political, or cultural region. An operation that requires a Locale to perform its task is called locale-sensitive and uses the Locale to tailor information for the user.
Use of Locale Use getCountry to get the country (or region) code and getLanguage to get the language code. You can use getDisplayCountry to get the name of the country suitable for displaying to the user. Similarly, you can use getDisplayLanguage to get the name of the language suitable for displaying to the user.
You can do:
String val = "fr_US";
String[] tab = val.split("_");
Locale locale = new Locale(tab[0], tab[1]);
Or, if you hardcoded you val
Locale locale = new Locale("fr", "US");
Also in Locale we have a method forLanguageTag but as parameter you have to pass BCP 47 language tag (with -, not _).
