[android-developers] Problems with getBestDateTimePattern and getting days of the week.

[Alfredo Eduardo Valdés Matta]

Hi team,
  I would like to get the day of the week in different locales but the 
getBestDateTimePattern only  show the day of the week in English,  do I 
have something missing in the configuration?

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {


    private GregorianCalendar mDeadlineCalendar = new GregorianCalendar();


    private SimpleDateFormat getSimpleDateFormat(){
        //String pattern = getBestDateTimePattern(Locale.getDefault(), "MMyd"); 
//short
        //String pattern = getBestDateTimePattern(Locale.getDefault(), 
"MMMyd"); //med
        //String pattern = getBestDateTimePattern(Locale.getDefault(), 
"MMMMyyyyd"); //Long
        //String pattern = getBestDateTimePattern(Locale.getDefault(), 
"MMMMdyhmazzzz"); //other
        //String pattern = getBestDateTimePattern(Locale.getDefault(), 
"EEEEMMMMd"); //other

        String MyLocaleLanguage = "ZH";
        String MyLocaleCountry ="TW";

        String pattern = getBestDateTimePattern(new Locale(MyLocaleLanguage, 
MyLocaleCountry), "EMMMMdyhmazzzz");


        //System.out.println(Locale.getDefault());
        System.out.println(new Locale(MyLocaleLanguage, MyLocaleCountry));

        return new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Date date = mDeadlineCalendar.getTime();
        SimpleDateFormat formatDay = getSimpleDateFormat();
        String dateStr = formatDay.format(date);

        Log.d("cmm", dateStr);
        System.out.println(dateStr);
    }


my output is 

09-09 14:36:05.088 5480-5480/com.example.alfredovaldes.myapplication 
I/System.out: zh_TW
09-09 14:36:05.088 5480-5480/com.example.alfredovaldes.myapplication D/cmm:

As you can see Fri appears and not the Chinese as seen in the CLDR.

I hope you can help this newbie.
