How to get the current locale (API level 24)?

Question

I was doing this way:

context.getResources().getConfiguration().locale 

Configuration.locale is deprecated if target is 24. So I made this change:

context.getResources().getConfiguration().getLocales().get(0) 

Now it says that it's only for minSdkVersion 24, so I cannot use it because my min target is lower.

What's the right method?

Answer 1

Check which version you're running on and fallback to the deprecated solution:

Locale locale; if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {     locale = context.getResources().getConfiguration().getLocales().get(0); } else {     locale = context.getResources().getConfiguration().locale; } 

Answer 2

You could use Locale.getDefault(), which is the Java standard way of getting the current Locale.
