scratching my head about smth dumb. How can I use Locale.current (androidx.compose.ui.text.intl.Locale) with String.format(locale, ...) ?

[Peter]

is there a way to transform androidx.compose.ui.text.intl.Locale to java.util.Locale ?

[Peter]

I guess? java.util.Locale(androidx.compose.ui.text.intl.Locale.current.language)

What do you java.util.Locale for? Taking a look at AndroidPlatformLocale.android.kt it looks like it uses java.util.Locale behind the scenes so theoretically you should be able to achieve the same functionality.

[Jonathan]

But it you needed it, you could probably use something like
java.util.Locale(Locale.current.toLanguageTag())

[Peter]

I want to use it when formatting the string for example
String.format(<http://Locale.DE|Locale.DE> "TT %d", System.currentTimeMillis())

I use https://github.com/HedvigInsurance/android/blob/7e85f0db5781027e32700587c32c517454[…]core-ui/src/main/kotlin/com/hedvig/android/core/ui/GetLocale.kt instead. Which should also respect things like per-app language settings and invalidates itself properly when there is a configuration change.
