Java code to convert country codes alpha-2 (IN) to alpha 3 (IND)
Using Java, Is there a quick way to convert an alpha-2 co开发者_如何转开发untry code (IN or GB) to the alpha-3 equivalent (IND or GBR)?
I can get the alpha-2 codes with:
String[] codes = java.util.Locale.getISOLanguages();
That's not a problem, actually my application reads in the alpha-2 code, but I need to output the alpha-3 equivalent .
Is there a similar way like above to get the alpha-3 codes?
Any suggestions?
This works -
Locale locale = new Locale("en","IN");
System.out.println("Country=" + locale.getISO3Country());
Output:
Country=IND
Yes, simple create a Locale and get if from the locale:
String alpha3Country = new Locale("en", alpha2County).getISO3Country();
BTW: getISOLanguages()
returns language codes (lowercase), getISOCountries()
return country codes (uppercase)
Since you read in the codes, you can't hardcode them you rather should create a lookup table to convert into ISO codes.
public static void main(String[] args) {
// setup
Locale[] availableLocales = Locale.getAvailableLocales();
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
for ( Locale l : availableLocales ) {
map.put( l.getCountry(), l.getISO3Country() );
}
// usage
System.out.println( map.get( "IN" ) );
System.out.println( map.get( "GB" ) );
}
Gopi's answer works. BUT take note that the returned codes are the ISO 3166 country codes and not the ISO 4217 currency codes. These differ slightly so use with caution
