Country names list

To find country name of the device current geo location in Android. The accurate way is using the longtude and latitude to get android.location.Address object which contains getCountryName() method.

My Question: Where can I find the full list of country names that Android uses? in other words, the list of countries that getCountryName() get result from.

it's in Locale class.

Call getAvailableLocales() then iterate the array & getDisplayCountry()

Locale[] locales = Locale.getAvailableLocales();
    ArrayList<String> countries = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (Locale locale : locales) {
        String country = locale.getDisplayCountry();

            countries.add(country);

    }
 Collections.sort(countries);

Output 

Albania
Algeria
Argentina
Australia
..
Venezuela
Vietnam
Yemen
