getLocale
public final ULocale getLocale(ULocale.Type type)
- Return the locale that was used to create this object, or null.
This may may differ from the locale requested at the time of
this object's creation. For example, if an object is created
for locale en_US_CALIFORNIA, the actual data may be
drawn from en (the actual locale), and
en_US may be the most specific locale that exists (the
valid locale).
Note: This method will be implemented in ICU 3.0; ICU 2.8
contains a partial preview implementation. The actual
locale is returned correctly, but the valid locale is
not, in most cases.
- Parameters:
type
- type of information requested, either ULocale.VALID_LOCALE
or ULocale.ACTUAL_LOCALE
.
- Returns:
- the information specified by type, or null if
this object was not constructed from locale data.
