Method Detail

getDisplayLanguage

public abstract String getDisplayLanguage(String languageCode,
                                          Locale locale)
Returns a localized name for the given ISO 639 language code and the given locale that is appropriate for display to the user. For example, if languageCode is "fr" and locale is en_US, getDisplayLanguage() will return "French"; if languageCode is "en" and locale is fr_FR, getDisplayLanguage() will return "anglais". If the name returned cannot be localized according to locale, (say, the provider does not have a Japanese name for Croatian), this method returns null.

Parameters:
languageCode - the ISO 639 language code string in the form of two lower-case letters between 'a' (U+0061) and 'z' (U+007A)
locale - the desired locale
Returns:
the name of the given language code for the specified locale, or null if it's not available.
Throws:
NullPointerException - if languageCode or locale is null
IllegalArgumentException - if languageCode is not in the form of two lower-case letters, or locale isn't one of the locales returned from getAvailableLocales().

Returns a localized name for the given ISO 3166 country code and the given locale that is appropriate for display to the user. For example, if countryCode is "FR" and locale is en_US, getDisplayCountry() will return "France"; if countryCode is "US" and locale is fr_FR, getDisplayCountry() will return "Etats-Unis". If the name returned cannot be localized according to locale, (say, the provider does not have a Japanese name for Croatia), this method returns null.

Parameters:
countryCode - the ISO 3166 country code string in the form of two upper-case letters between 'A' (U+0041) and 'Z' (U+005A)
