Hello, how can I get the name of the country the user of my app connects from?

You can get the MCC (country code) from IdenInfo of GPRSInfo, or you can use Locale.getCountry().

It's all in the javadocs.

nah mate, I get a four digit code...

When I tried this String a = Locale.this.getDisplayCountry();
I got error: No enclosing instance of the type Locale is accessible in scope.

I don't meant to be rude, but does anyone help here?

If someone knows how to do what you are asking, generally they will post help. The answer probably really depeds a lot on what version of the OS you are develping for. I know OS 6 provides greater location <-> address support through the ROC but I've never used the capability myself. Some times you just have to dig into the latest API documentation, and if you find what you need trace it back to see how much is available in the version you need.

I think I misread your original post. I thought you were looking for the phone country code.

Also, I think you took my answer too literally: when someone says "Look at Locale.getCountry()", they generally mean "look at the method getCountry in the Locale class". I *did not* mean to infer that I was giving you working source code. getCountry() is not a static method of Locale.

O think hrbuckley is closer to the point: you want to geolocate the phone based on the current GPS coordinates. There is a geolocation API in 6.0 (which I have not used). There are also various web services available that will provide address information from a set of GPS coordinates.
