How to get application language and device language separately in android?

Question

My device language is in English and my application language is in Italian.So how I get the device language and application language programmatically ?

Solution 1

Get system language

Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().locale.getLanguage();

Get app language

String currentLang = Locale.getDefault().getLanguage();

Solution 2

This is the correct answer: getResources().getConfiguration().locale

Solution 3

Kotlin - Android X:

val currentSysLocale = Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().locales[0]
val currentAppLocale = Locale.getDefault().getLanguage()
Log.d("sys locale","$currentSysLocale")
Log.d("app locale","$currentAppLocale")

Solution 4

To Get System Language Use this:

String DeviceLang =Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().locale.getLanguage();

And For the Application Language Use this:

String AppLang = Resources.getConfiguration().locale.getLanguage();

What do you mean by "get app language"? In case the system is set to a language not supported by the app, both will return the system language, even though the app displays in a different language.

Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().locale.getLanguage(‌​) is deprecated

if the language is english, does it return 'English' or 'en'?
