Answer 1

You can create your own method to do that, or use some already existing library. Javolution, for example, gives you the class and method TypeFormat.format(double d, int digits, boolean scientific, boolean showZero, Appendable a) Check Javolution, it has lots of nice utilities, but if the only thing you need is to format numbers, just write your own method. Here is a quick hack for big numbers

    private static String nosci(double d) {
    if(d < 0){
        return "-" + nosci(-d);
    }
    String javaString = String.valueOf(d);
    int indexOfE =javaString.indexOf("E"); 
    if(indexOfE == -1){
        return javaString;
    }
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    if(d > 1){//big number
        int exp = Integer.parseInt(javaString.substring(indexOfE + 1));
        String sciDecimal = javaString.substring(2, indexOfE);
        int sciDecimalLength = sciDecimal.length();
        if(exp == sciDecimalLength){
            sb.append(javaString.charAt(0));
            sb.append(sciDecimal);              
        }else if(exp > sciDecimalLength){
            sb.append(javaString.charAt(0));
            sb.append(sciDecimal);
            for(int i = 0; i < exp - sciDecimalLength; i++){
                sb.append('0');
            }
        }else if(exp < sciDecimalLength){
            sb.append(javaString.charAt(0));
            sb.append(sciDecimal.substring(0, exp));
            sb.append('.');
            for(int i = exp; i < sciDecimalLength ; i++){
                sb.append(sciDecimal.charAt(i));
            }
        }
      return sb.toString();
    }else{
        //for little numbers use the default or you will
        //loose accuracy
        return javaString;
    }       


}

Have a look at this article: Converting Double to String without E notation

You can make use of the [NumberFormat][2] or [DecimalFormat][3] class to acheive what you are looking for.

Here is the code:

NumberFormat f = NumberFormat.getInstance();
f.setGroupingUsed(false);
String refinedNumber = f.format(doubleVariable);
