Re: Correct Current NSLocale on Android

OK, -[NSLocale autoupdatingCurrentLocale] works, but only if I
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:whateverCode forKey:@"Locale"]

So, firstly: Thanks a lot, this solves my problem!
But secondly I think for setting up GNUstep on Android it’s not enough to just [NSUserDefaults setUserLanguages:] as mentioned in https://github.com/gnustep/tools-android#status-and-known-issues and the sample app.

Hi Stefan,

Can you try using -[NSLocale autoupdatingCurrentLocale] as suggested by Wolfgang?

I think currentLocale gets initialized once doesn’t change when updating the user default value.

But how? Even if I do this:
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:@"de_CH" forKey:@"Locale"];
I will always get „en_US_POSIX“ for
NSLog(@"Current Locale: %@", [NSLocale currentLocale]);

Hi

I am initializing GNUstep on Android as advised in the tools-android README, i.e. I am calling
[NSUserDefaults setUserLanguages:]
which seems to work for just setting the language, but when I try to rely on the currentLocale (for other information like region, metric system usage, etc.) I always get „en_US_POSIX“ as the locale.

Is there a way to manually init the locale correctly?

The user’s current locale is initialized from the user defaults. This should normally be modified by the defaults tool from the command line or by the SystemPreferences application.
To override that programmatically in your own application set the "Locale" default in the standard user defaults. You may also need to use autoupdatingCurrentLocale to see the effect of the change.
