How to get user input language

I am writing an application that uses text editing. i want to know what the user is entering language in oncreate method or when input type changes. Is there a way to set a listener to receive this change? All the answer I found was about locale, not input language. I don't want to handle locale, language doesn't affect the application, input language does. I have used these codes. private void printInputLanguages โ€‹โ€‹() {

List<InputMethodInfo> ims = imm.getEnabledInputMethodList();
for (InputMethodInfo method : ims) {
    List<InputMethodSubtype> submethods = imm
            .getEnabledInputMethodSubtypeList(method, true);
    for (InputMethodSubtype submethod : submethods) {
        if (submethod.getMode().equals("keyboard")) {
            String currentLocale =

            submethod.getLocale();
            tv.setText(currentLocale);
            Log.i("sara", "Available input method locale: "
                    + currentLocale);
        }
    }
}

and these codes, but none of them were complete.

  InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
InputMethodSubtype ims = imm.getCurrentInputMethodSubtype();
String localeString = ims.getLocale();
Locale locale = new Locale(localeString);
String currentLanguage = locale.getDisplayLanguage();

and i used this link but again i was unable to solve my problem.

Please check it out: I think everything you need is inside, please note the fully working code.

Android: RTL Vs LTR softkey detection (language direction)



Here's a shortcode to detect the current language of the on-screen keyboard (on-screen keyboard is the input method language): localeDisplayName

is the keyboard language ...

InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
InputMethodSubtype inputMethodSubtype = inputMethodManager.getCurrentInputMethodSubtype();
Locale mLocale = new Locale(inputMethodSubtype.getLocale());
String localeDisplayName = mLocale.getDisplayName();  //e.g. "English"
