devicelocale

Description:

devicelocale

devicelocale #
Gets the device locale data, independent of the app locale settings.
Please note that there is currently no support for web.
Usage #
import 'package:devicelocale/devicelocale.dart';
copied to clipboard
then
List languages = await Devicelocale.preferredLanguages;
String locale = await Devicelocale.currentLocale;
copied to clipboard
this should return a list of the preferred/current language locales setup on the device, with the current one being the first in the list or just the currently set device locale.
Android specific implementation (no-op on other platforms if supported) #
Added per-app language preferences for Android (https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/features/app-languages#kotlin)
You can check if your current device is supported isLanguagePerAppSettingSupported
And after checking if your device is supported you can set the per-app language preference with setLanguagePerApp(Locale) this will return true if success
Note for Linux #
Since GNU/Linux and POSIX doesn't provide a standard API for getting the preferred languages, Devicelocale.preferredLanguages always returns the current locale.
