How to get System Language?

In application supporting multiple languages using Locale.setDefault(newLocale); we are changing the language but there is no way to change language to device default language. What is the best way to find device default language in settings programatically.

Here's what you're looking for

Locale.getDefault().getLanguage();

In general, store user modifiable setting in a variable controlled by you, not Oracle. I.e. never call Locale.setDefault when user changes your application's locale, but rather change a variable under your control.

There are overrides for each locale-dependent method that take Locale parameter.

That's where you should pass locale variable under your control.

This way, you can always consult Locale.getDefault for system settings.
