Get country code based on user's current location Android

Question

I have already tried out the following code to get country code name

TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager)getActivity().getSystemService(getActivity().TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
        String countryCodeValue = tm.getNetworkCountryIso();

But I guess this does not work if I want to get current country code in which the user is.

For example if user travels from one country to another I want to get the country code in which he is in.

I have a solution to get user's current country code but I am stuck:

1. I fetch users current location.
2. Get the user address using its current location from this I can get the country name.

But is there any way I can get the country code from its country name in android ?

Also please let me me know if there is more efficient way.

Thanks :)

Answer 1

You can get the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 (US, GB, etc) by getResources().getConfiguration().locale.toString().split("_")[1].

For anyone coming across this question in the future. Use SmartLocation

Kotlin:

SmartLocation.with(this).location(LocationGooglePlayServicesProvider()).oneFix().start {
            SmartLocation.with(this).geocoding().reverse(it, OnReverseGeocodingListener { location, mutableList ->
                val countryCode = mutableList[0].countryCode
            })
        }
