get regional setting from android

Check out the Locale class for localization / regional information :

http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Locale.html

Ex. Locale defaultLocale = Locale.getDefault();

Read the section labeled "Be wary of the default locale" which can save you from some issues with getDefault() from the Locale class when used for more than just user presentation.

This might help

Context c = getBaseContext(); Resources r = c.getResources(); Configuration config = r.getConfiguration(); Locale currentLocale = config.locale; 

The simplest way from an Activity is:

Locale l = Locale.getDefault(); Log.d("TAG", "Country: " + l.getDisplayCountry());
