This class provides access to the system country detector service. This service allows applications to obtain the country that the user is in.

The country will be detected in order of reliability, like

  • Mobile network
  • Location
  • SIM's country
  • Phone's locale

Call the detectCountry() to get the available country immediately.

To be notified of the future country change, use the addCountryListener

@hide

  • listener – will be called when the country is detected or changed.
  • looper – a Looper object whose message queue will be used to implement the callback mechanism. If looper is null then the callbacks will be called on the main thread.
