I have used PhoneNumberUtil as a tool for converting a phone number to international. However, if a user input is a local phone number which the app doesn't know what country the local phone number is from. How can you determine its country code.

My Code.

String phoneNumberParse = phoneNumberTextInput.getText().toString();
        PhoneNumberUtil phoneUtil = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance();
        try {
            Phonenumber.PhoneNumber convertedPhoneNumber = phoneUtil.parse(phoneNumberParse, null);

        newPhoneNumber = phoneUtil.format(convertedPhoneNumber, PhoneNumberUtil.PhoneNumberFormat.E164);
        Toast.makeText(getActivity(), newPhoneNumber, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        } catch (NumberParseException e) {
            System.out.print("Phone Util"+e);
        }

@chipopo You can only do that if your number starts with "+" which means it should contain country code. What I wanted to know is how to determine the country code if your input is a local like "0699xxx" – Bryan Jul 07 '16 at 07:05
try to format your number using the PhoneNumberFormat.E164 instead of PhoneNumberFormat.INTERNATIONAL. this will format your 0699xxx into a number with its country code: "+xxx xxx.." – chipopo Jul 07 '16 at 07:57
Still doesn't do that. I edited the post for the update. – Bryan Jul 07 '16 at 08:34
