I am using the country code picker library for user to select a country.
I stored the selected items with country name (i.e.: Singapore).
Now I want to convert the country name into ISO Alpha 2 country code (i.e.: sg).
I am using the Locale but it was not working, what am i missing?
public String getCountryCodeFromName(String countryName){
Locale locale = new Locale("",countryName);
String countryCode = locale.getCountry().toLowerCase();
return countryCode;
}
Use This Function:-
public String getCountryCode(String countryName) {
// Get all country codes in a string array.
String[] isoCountryCodes = Locale.getISOCountries();
String countryCode = "";
// Iterate through all country codes:
for (String code : isoCountryCodes) {
// Create a locale using each country code
Locale locale = new Locale("", code);
// Get country name for each code.
String name = locale.getDisplayCountry();
if(name.equals(countryName))
{
countryCode = code;
break;
}
}
return countryCode;
}
