Android Question List of country names

Hi

How to get a list of country names in current locale?
I don't have any code yet....searching/reading about locate libs/classes

Thanks

You could load this webpage and parse the html to get a list. Plenty of help on parsing in the forum.

This code does it:

Sub Process_Globals
    Public ISOCountryCodes As List
    Public Country As List
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    ISOCountryCodes.Initialize
    Country.Initialize
    GetCountryNames
End Sub

Sub GetCountryNames
   Dim jo As JavaObject
   Dim ISOCodes() As String

   jo.InitializeStatic("java.util.Locale")
   ISOCodes = jo.RunMethod("getISOCountries", Null)
   ISOCountryCodes.AddAll(ISOCodes)

'   Dim jo2 As JavaObject
'   jo2.InitializeNewInstance("java.util.Locale", Array As Object("en", "US"))
'   jo.RunMethod("setDefault", Array As Object(jo2))

   Country.Clear
   For i = 0 To ISOCountryCodes.Size - 1
     Dim jo1 As JavaObject
     jo1.InitializeNewInstance("java.util.Locale", Array As Object("en", ISOCountryCodes.Get(i)))
     Dim str0, str(2) As String
     str0 = jo1.RunMethod("getDisplayName", Null)
     str = Regex.Split("[(]", str0)
     Country.Add(str(1).Replace(")", ""))
   Next
End Sub

The commented lines allow to change the language by changing the country code.

Attached a small test program.
