Get list of country name and country code

[Ann]

Hi all, 

I plan to have a mapping list of countryName - countryCode. Such as, United State (+1), United Kingdom (+44) .

I know that libphonenumber is a great tool to help phone parsing, formatting and validation. However, it doesn't seem to have the functionality for listing the mapping country names/codes. But those data should be within the metadata in libphonenumber, right? Does anyone have experience on this?

Thanks!

You need:

* getSupportedRegions() to get the list of region codes

* getCountryCodeForRegion(regionCode) to get the country calling code for each one (1, 44 etc)

And then to get the actual names, you should use ICU4J -> http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4j/ --> it will get you country names from these region codes in whatever language your user speaks. (getDisplayCountry())

What are you planning on doing for non-countries, e.g. +800? Do you want to support those? Because we don't have names for those, but you can get the calling codes with getSupportedGlobalNetworkCallingCodes.
