Those constants are there just as a convenience. You can create your
own.
I have no idea how Sun came up with that particular list of
"convenient" locales.
This is how Locale.JAPAN is defined. Just follow this pattern to
define your own:
public static final Locale JAPAN = createSingleton("ja_JP_", "ja",
"JP");
However, it's likely you don't need or want the constants or your own
constant at all.
Locale.getDefault() may be the only thing you need or want. Or if you
really want a list of all ones that are supported by the phone,
Locale.getAvailableLocales() may be what you want.
I haven't tested Android's locale support, so I can't verify that it's
done correctly, but this is enough to at least write correct code, and
I would expect it to work.
I don't know how Android implements getDisplayLanguage() and
getDisplayCountry(), so I don't know how you'd handle these if you
have to define a locale that Android hasn't configured for you.
Hopefully, that question won't arise in practice. It *should* work to
call these even if you construct the Locale instance yourself, even if
it's a language for which there's no predefined constant. The Sun
implementation does a runtime lookup in the localization data.
