How to get the "Phone Number region" after user entering phone number?

[dimitrihartt]

How can I get the "Phone Number region" after the user having entered the number. Ie: If the user enters: +49 9876543210 I could get: phone.country.region = "DE" Is it possible?

It it possible to get the region, however not directly. This library uses another library called libphonenumber by Google. For you its internals are hidden.

However if you add libphonenumber as a dependency to your project, you can get the region as follows:

final private PhoneNumberUtil mPhoneUtil = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance();
Phonenumber.PhoneNumber number = mPhoneUtil.parseAndKeepRawInput("+499876543210", "DE");

// After the number is parsed, you can get region code as follows:
final String phoneRegion = mPhoneUtil.getRegionCodeForNumber(number)

Also check this great online parser. It pretty much demonstrates all the capabilities which the parsing library provides.

This is my solution with Kotlin

val loc = Locale("", getRegion(id_mobile_edittext.phoneNumber))
Log.d("region", loc.displayCountry)

This is the function getRegion that takes the mobileNumber as parameter

private fun getRegion(mobileNumber: String): String {
        val util = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance()
        val numberRegion = util.parse(mobileNumber, null)
        return util.getRegionCodeForNumber(numberRegion)
    }
