Android Get Country Name with its code

Question

I want to get the country name and country code. For that, I have used the code below:

Country_Language = getApplicationContext().getResources().getConfiguration().locale.getDisplayLanguage();
Country_code= getApplicationContext().getResources().getConfiguration().locale.getCountry(); // get country code

But I always get "US" and "United State" as the country code and country name, while my country is not US.

Any help is appreciated.

Try this:

TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String countryCode = tm.getSimCountryIso();

//try this
**HardCode Local Configure**
Locale locale = new Locale("en","South Africa");
Locale.setDefault(locale);
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.locale = locale;
getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,
                getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());


String country_Language = getApplicationContext().getResources().getConfiguration().locale.getDisplayLanguage();
String Country_code= getApplicationContext().getResources().getConfiguration().locale.getCountry();

System.out.println("County Language :"+country_Language);
System.out.println("County Code :"+Country_code);

It happens because you run this code on without SIM device. To solve this problem, you should run this code on a SIM device, after that this code will show current country name and code of device.
