Get system language

Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().locale.getLanguage();

Get app language

String currentLang = Locale.getDefault().getLanguage();

    What do you mean by "get app language"? In case the system is set to a language not supported by the app, both will return the system language, even though the app displays in a different language. – arekolek Feb 12 '19 at 21:58

    Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().locale.getLanguage() is deprecated – Agna JirKon Rx Sep 03 '19 at 12:53

    if the language is english, does it return 'English' or 'en'? – Ahmed Rajab Nov 29 '20 at 17:58

This is the correct answer: getResources().getConfiguration().locale

To Get System Language Use this:

String DeviceLang =Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().locale.getLanguage();

And For the Application Language Use this:

String AppLang = Resources.getConfiguration().locale.getLanguage();

Kotlin - Android X:

val currentSysLocale = Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().locales[0]
val currentAppLocale = Locale.getDefault().getLanguage()
Log.d("sys locale","$currentSysLocale")
Log.d("app locale","$currentAppLocale")
