The getAvailableLocales() method of java.text.Collator class is used to get the all available locales which come under the passed Locales instance during the initializing of Collator object.
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);
}
}
} |
Output:
Equivalent Locales are es_PA es_VE mt_MT bg zh_TW
