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, eitherULocale.VALID_LOCALE
orULocale.ACTUAL_LOCALE
.- Returns:
- the information specified by type, or null if this object was not constructed from locale data.
