How to show a double formatted as a price in a textview in android

Question

I want to show in a textView a price value like: 12,199.99 in a textview in Android. but I have the value stored in a double variable (12199.99). Is there any way to show that double in the textview in the format I want?

Answer 1

If you want to format it using the phone's locale with 2 decimals do like this:

DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00");
String formattedValue = decimalFormat.format(yourDoubleValue);
yourTextView.setText(formattedValue);

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

You can use a BigDecimal for it, for example

public static BigDecimal doubleToScale(double d, int scale){
        return new BigDecimal(d).setScale(scale, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
}

I hope that helps.
