If you need to support below Android 7.0 - Nougat (API level 24) you can use something like this:

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
// ToDo: Adjust this method once the target API is 24 or higher!
private Locale getLocale()
{
  if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 24)
  {
    return Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().getLocales().get(0);
  }

  else
  {
    return Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().locale;
  }
}

Note the annotation regarding deprecation and NewApi. Adjust this method once you target API 24 or higher. Inspired by this answer.
