# ICUCompat

| This package is part of the Android[support library](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library)which is no longer maintained. The support library has been superseded by[AndroidX](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx)which is part of[Jetpack](https://developer.android.com/jetpack). We recommend using the AndroidX libraries in all new projects. You should also consider[migrating](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate)existing projects to AndroidX. To find the AndroidX class that maps to this deprecated class, see the AndroidX support library[class mappings](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate/class-mappings).

## Public methods

### maximizeAndGetScript

added in[version 24.1.0](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/revisions)  

```
String maximizeAndGetScript (Locale locale)
```

Returns the script for a given Locale. If the locale isn't already in its maximal form, likely subtags for the provided locale ID are added before we determine the script. For further details, see the following CLDR technical report : http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#Likely_Subtags If locale is already in the maximal form, or there is no data available for maximization, it will be just returned. For example, "und-Zzzz" cannot be maximized, since there is no reasonable maximization. Examples: "en" maximizes to "en_Latn_US" "de" maximizes to "de_Latn_US" "sr" maximizes to "sr_Cyrl_RS" "sh" maximizes to "sr_Latn_RS" (Note this will not reverse.) "zh_Hani" maximizes to "zh_Hans_CN" (Note this will not reverse.)
