ActiveLocale class abstract final

Process-wide active Locale. Updated by each controller's setLocale, read by ICU plural/select expansion and by RTL/text-direction helpers that need to know the current language without depending on a specific controller.

Reading is cheap and synchronous; if no controller has set the locale yet, it falls back to the platform locale.

Static Methods

resetForTesting() → void

Test seam — clears the cached locale so a subsequent read falls back to the platform locale again.

set(Locale locale) → void

Called by each controller's setLocale. Apps don't normally call this directly — drive your controller and the controller updates this for you.
