I have implemented a mini project and there i need to display currency symbol based on Location. ex: If i am in India it should display rupee symbol if USA $ symbol, I have implemented but it always gives Pound symbol

My Code:

LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(ListActivity.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Location loc = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

if (loc != null) {
    Geocoder code = new Geocoder(ListActivity.this);
    try {
        List<Address> addresses = code.getFromLocation(loc.getLatitude(), loc.getLongitude(), 1);
        Address obj = addresses.get(0);
        String cc = Currency.getInstance(obj.getLocale()).getSymbol();

        Log.d("Currency Symbol : ", cc);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

I needed to show currency symbol of respective country and get country are from GPS i searched lot finally came up with below code its working properly so i want to share this code others could not waste there time


here you need first country code like IN,US from latitude longitude we get full address


Please check GPS permission in manifest file before run code. below are the some permissions


need GPSTracker.java file code create GPSTracker java file and write below code. in this some red line dont worry it affect nothing

public class GPSTracker extends Service implements LocationListener {

    private final Context mContext;

    // Flag for GPS status
    boolean isGPSEnabled = false;

    // Flag for network status
    boolean isNetworkEnabled = false;

    // Flag for GPS status
    boolean canGetLocation = false;

    Location location; // Location
    double latitude; // Latitude
    double longitude; // Longitude

    // The minimum distance to change Updates in meters
    private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 10; // 10 meters

    // The minimum time between updates in milliseconds
    private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60 * 1; // 1 minute

    // Declaring a Location Manager
    protected LocationManager locationManager;

    public GPSTracker(Context context) {
        this.mContext = context;
        getLocation();
    }

    public Location getLocation() {
        try {
            locationManager = (LocationManager) mContext
                .getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

            // Getting GPS status
            isGPSEnabled = locationManager
                .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

            // Getting network status
            isNetworkEnabled = locationManager
                .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

            if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) {
                // No network provider is enabled
            } else {
                this.canGetLocation = true;

                if (isNetworkEnabled) {

                    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(

You can use this to get locale of your Location

Locale locale= getResources().getConfiguration().locale;
Currency currency=Currency.getInstance(locale);
String symbol = currency.getSymbol();

  • It is giving £ symbol it should display rupee symbol as per location – Rookie r Sep 25 '15 at 09:54
  • He was not asking for the device locale. He wants a locale (or country or currency symbol) by given latitude, longitude coordinate – AlexWien Sep 25 '15 at 16:08
