Syntax: 
 

public static Locale[] getAvailableLocales()

Parameter: This method does not accept any parameter.
Return Value: This method returns all the available locales which come under this instance.
Below are the examples to illustrate the getAvailableLocales() method:
Example 1: 
 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// getAvailableLocales() method
 
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
 
            // Creating and initializing new simple rule
            String simple = "< a< b< c< d";
 
            // Creating and initializing
            // new RuleBasedCollator Object
            RuleBasedCollator col
                = new RuleBasedCollator(simple);
 
            // getting all the available locale
            // using getAvailableLocales() method
            Locale[] locale = col.getAvailableLocales();
 
            // display result
            System.out.println("Equivalent Locales are ");
            for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
                System.out.println(locale[i]);
        }
 
        catch (ClassCastException e) {
 
            System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
        }
        catch (ParseException e) {
 
            System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
        }
    }
}


Output: 

Equivalent Locales are 
ar_AE
ar_JO
ar_SY
hr_HR
fr_BE

 

Example 2: 
 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// getAvailableLocales() method
 
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
 
            // Creating and initializing Collator Object
            Collator col = Collator.getInstance(Locale.UK);
 
            // getting all the available locale
            // using getAvailableLocales() method
            Locale[] locale = col.getAvailableLocales();
 
            // display result
            System.out.println("Equivalent Locales are ");
            for (int i = 6; i <= 10; i++)
                System.out.println(locale[i]);
        }
 
        catch (ClassCastException e) {
 
            System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
