Android String format - price

Is there an easy formatter to format my String as a price?

So my string is: 300000 i'd like to "300 000" with space

or 1000000 "1 000 000"

This does it:

String s = (String.format("%,d", 1000000)).replace(',', ' ');

Use Formatter class to format string

format("%,d", 1024);

After that replace , with space.

You cannot do this with a simple format string but with the DecimalFormat and DecimalFormatSymbols class.

int value = 123456789;
DecimalFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat();
DecimalFormatSymbols fmts = new DecimalFormatSymbols();

fmts.setGroupingSeparator(' ');

fmt.setGroupingSize(3);
fmt.setGroupingUsed(true);
fmt.setDecimalFormatSymbols(fmts);

TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt);
txt.setText(fmt.format(value));

There are lots and lots of other options in these classes. For example you could seperate the numbers with dots or commas or use a locale specific setting.

For example you can use the fmt.setCurrency method:

fmt.setCurrency(Currency.getInstance(Locale.GERMANY));

double yourPrice = 1999999.99;
String formattedPrice = new DecimalFormat("##,##0.00€").format(yourPrice);

output :

formattedPrice = 1.999.99,99€

if you have integer value, most elegant in my opinion

public static String formatNumberWithSpaces(long number) {
    DecimalFormat formatter = (DecimalFormat) NumberFormat.getInstance();
    DecimalFormatSymbols symbols = formatter.getDecimalFormatSymbols();
    symbols.setGroupingSeparator(' ');
    return formatter.format(number);
}
