I just need the local currency symbol in a String depending on the country the user is, in Kotlin for Android Studio

Issue

Is there a simple way for the system to return the local currency symbol?

I been searching but I cant find anything, in swift you can achieve this with two lines:

let locale = Locale.current

let currencySymbol = locale.currencySymbol!

¿Is there anything similar in Kotlin?

Solution

you can try:

val numberFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.getDefault())
val symbol = numberFormat.currency?.symbol

// symbol = £
