NumberFormat

abstract class NumberFormat : UFormat
kotlin.Any
   ↳ java.text.Format
   ↳ android.icu.text.UFormat
   ↳ android.icu.text.NumberFormat

[icu enhancement] ICU's replacement for java.text.NumberFormat. Methods, fields, and other functionality specific to ICU are labeled '[icu]'.

IMPORTANT: New users are strongly encouraged to see if NumberFormatter fits their use case. Although not deprecated, this class, NumberFormat, is only provided for java.text.NumberFormat compatibility.

NumberFormat is the abstract base class for all number formats. This class provides the interface for formatting and parsing numbers. NumberFormat also provides methods for determining which locales have number formats, and what their names are. NumberFormat helps you to format and parse numbers for any locale. Your code can be completely independent of the locale conventions for decimal points, thousands-separators, or even the particular decimal digits used, or whether the number format is even decimal.

To format a number for the current Locale, use one of the factory class methods:

myString = NumberFormat.getInstance().format(myNumber);
  
If you are formatting multiple numbers, it is more efficient to get the format and use it multiple times so that the system doesn't have to fetch the information about the local language and country conventions multiple times.
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance();
  for (int i = 0; i < a.length; ++i) {
      output.println(nf.format(myNumber[i]) + "; ");
  }
  
To format a number for a different Locale, specify it in the call to getInstance.
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.FRENCH);
  
You can also use a NumberFormat to parse numbers:
myNumber = nf.parse(myString);
  
Use getInstance or getNumberInstance to get the normal number format. Use getIntegerInstance to get an integer number format. Use getCurrencyInstance to get the currency number format. And use getPercentInstance to get a format for displaying percentages. Some factory methods are found within subclasses of NumberFormat. With this format, a fraction like 0.53 is displayed as 53%.

Starting from ICU 4.2, you can use getInstance() by passing in a 'style' as parameter to get the correct instance. For example, use getInstance(...NUMBERSTYLE) to get the normal number format, getInstance(...PERCENTSTYLE) to get a format for displaying percentage, getInstance(...SCIENTIFICSTYLE) to get a format for displaying scientific number, getInstance(...INTEGERSTYLE) to get an integer number format, getInstance(...CURRENCYSTYLE) to get the currency number format, in which the currency is represented by its symbol, for example, "$3.00". getInstance(...ISOCURRENCYSTYLE) to get the currency number format, in which the currency is represented by its ISO code, for example "USD3.00". getInstance(...PLURALCURRENCYSTYLE) to get the currency number format, in which the currency is represented by its full name in plural format, for example, "3.00 US dollars" or "1.00 US dollar".

You can also control the display of numbers with such methods as setMinimumFractionDigits. If you want even more control over the format or parsing, or want to give your users more control, you can try casting the NumberFormat you get from the factory methods to a DecimalFormat. This will work for the vast majority of locales; just remember to put it in a try block in case you encounter an unusual one.

NumberFormat is designed such that some controls work for formatting and others work for parsing. The following is the detailed description for each these control methods,

setParseIntegerOnly : only affects parsing, e.g. if true, "3456.78" -> 3456 (and leaves the parse position just after '6') if false, "3456.78" -> 3456.78 (and leaves the parse position just after '8') This is independent of formatting. If you want to not show a decimal point where there might be no digits after the decimal point, use setDecimalSeparatorAlwaysShown on DecimalFormat.

You can also use forms of the parse and format methods with ParsePosition and FieldPosition to allow you to:

  • progressively parse through pieces of a string
  • align the decimal point and other areas
For example, you can align numbers in two ways:
  1. If you are using a monospaced font with spacing for alignment, you can pass the FieldPosition in your format call, with field = INTEGER_FIELD. On output, getEndIndex will be set to the offset between the last character of the integer and the decimal. Add (desiredSpaceCount - getEndIndex) spaces at the front of the string.
  2. If you are using proportional fonts, instead of padding with spaces, measure the width of the string in pixels from the start to getEndIndex. Then move the pen by (desiredPixelWidth - widthToAlignmentPoint) before drawing the text. It also works where there is no decimal, but possibly additional characters at the end, e.g., with parentheses in negative numbers: "(12)" for -12.

Synchronization

Number formats are generally not synchronized. It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread. If multiple threads access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized externally.

DecimalFormat

DecimalFormat is the concrete implementation of NumberFormat, and the NumberFormat API is essentially an abstraction from DecimalFormat's API. Refer to DecimalFormat for more information about this API.

hashCode

Added in API level 24
open fun hashCode(): Int

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by java.util.HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

  • Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
  • If two objects are equal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
  • It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.
Return
Int a hash code value for this object.

isGroupingUsed

Added in API level 24
open fun isGroupingUsed(): Boolean

Returns true if grouping is used in this format. For example, in the en_US locale, with grouping on, the number 1234567 will be formatted as "1,234,567". The grouping separator as well as the size of each group is locale-dependent and is determined by subclasses of NumberFormat. Grouping affects both parsing and formatting.

Return
Boolean true if grouping is used

See Also

isParseIntegerOnly

Added in API level 24
open fun isParseIntegerOnly(): Boolean

Returns true if this format will parse numbers as integers only. For example in the English locale, with ParseIntegerOnly true, the string "1234." would be parsed as the integer value 1234 and parsing would stop at the "." character. The decimal separator accepted by the parse operation is locale-dependent and determined by the subclass.

Return
Boolean true if this will parse integers only

isParseStrict

Added in API level 24
open fun isParseStrict(): Boolean

[icu] Returns whether strict parsing is in effect.

Return
Boolean true if strict parsing is in effect

Returns a Long if possible (e.g., within the range [Long.MIN_VALUE, Long.MAX_VALUE] and with no decimals); otherwise, returns another type, such as a BigDecimal, BigInteger, or Double. The return type is not guaranteed other than for the Long case.

If IntegerOnly is set, will stop at a decimal point (or equivalent; e.g., for rational numbers "1 2/3", will stop after the 1).

Does not throw an exception; if no object can be parsed, index is unchanged!

For more detail on parsing, see the "Parsing" header in the class documentation of DecimalFormat.

parse

Added in API level 24
open fun parse(text: String!): Number!

Parses text from the beginning of the given string to produce a number. The method might not use the entire text of the given string.

Parameters
text String!: A String whose beginning should be parsed.
Return
Number! A Number parsed from the string.
Exceptions
java.text.ParseException if the beginning of the specified string cannot be parsed.

    parseCurrency

    Added in API level 24
    open fun parseCurrency(
        text: CharSequence!,
        pos: ParsePosition!
    ): CurrencyAmount!

    Parses text from the given string as a CurrencyAmount. Unlike the parse() method, this method will attempt to parse a generic currency name, searching for a match of this object's locale's currency display names, or for a 3-letter ISO currency code. This method will fail if this format is not a currency format, that is, if it does not contain the currency pattern symbol (U+00A4) in its prefix or suffix.

    Parameters
    text CharSequence!: the text to parse
    pos ParsePosition!: input-output position; on input, the position within text to match; must have 0 <= pos.getIndex() < text.length(); on output, the position after the last matched character. If the parse fails, the position in unchanged upon output.
    Return
    CurrencyAmount! a CurrencyAmount, or null upon failure

    parseObject

    Added in API level 24
    fun parseObject(
        source: String!,
        parsePosition: ParsePosition!
    ): Any!

    Parses text from a string to produce a number.

    Parameters
    source String!: the String to parse
    pos A ParsePosition object with index and error index information as described above.
    parsePosition ParsePosition!: the position at which to start the parse
    Return
    Any! the parsed number, or null
    Exceptions
    java.lang.NullPointerException if source or pos is null.

    setContext

    Added in API level 24
    open fun setContext(context: DisplayContext!): Unit

    [icu] Set a particular DisplayContext value in the formatter, such as CAPITALIZATION_FOR_STANDALONE.

    Parameters
    context DisplayContext!: The DisplayContext value to set.

    setCurrency

    Added in API level 24
    open fun setCurrency(theCurrency: Currency!): Unit

    Sets the Currency object used to display currency amounts. This takes effect immediately, if this format is a currency format. If this format is not a currency format, then the currency object is used if and when this object becomes a currency format.

    Parameters
    theCurrency Currency!: new currency object to use. May be null for some subclasses.

    setGroupingUsed

    Added in API level 24
    open fun setGroupingUsed(newValue: Boolean): Unit

    Sets whether or not grouping will be used in this format. Grouping affects both parsing and formatting.

    Parameters
    newValue Boolean: true to use grouping.

    setMaximumFractionDigits

    Added in API level 24
    open fun setMaximumFractionDigits(newValue: Int): Unit

    Sets the maximum number of digits allowed in the fraction portion of a number. This must be >= minimumFractionDigits. If the new value for maximumFractionDigits is less than the current value of minimumFractionDigits, then minimumFractionDigits will also be set to the new value.

    Parameters
    newValue Int: the maximum number of fraction digits to be shown; if less than zero, then zero is used. The concrete subclass may enforce an upper limit to this value appropriate to the numeric type being formatted.

    setMaximumIntegerDigits

    Added in API level 24
    open fun setMaximumIntegerDigits(newValue: Int): Unit

    Sets the maximum number of digits allowed in the integer portion of a number. This must be >= minimumIntegerDigits. If the new value for maximumIntegerDigits is less than the current value of minimumIntegerDigits, then minimumIntegerDigits will also be set to the new value.

    Parameters
    newValue Int: the maximum number of integer digits to be shown; if less than zero, then zero is used. Subclasses might enforce an upper limit to this value appropriate to the numeric type being formatted.

    setMinimumFractionDigits

    Added in API level 24
    open fun setMinimumFractionDigits(newValue: Int): Unit

    Sets the minimum number of digits allowed in the fraction portion of a number. This must be <= maximumFractionDigits. If the new value for minimumFractionDigits exceeds the current value of maximumFractionDigits, then maximumFractionDigits will also be set to the new value.

    Parameters
    newValue Int: the minimum number of fraction digits to be shown; if less than zero, then zero is used. Subclasses might enforce an upper limit to this value appropriate to the numeric type being formatted.

    setMinimumIntegerDigits

    Added in API level 24
    open fun setMinimumIntegerDigits(newValue: Int): Unit

    Sets the minimum number of digits allowed in the integer portion of a number. This must be <= maximumIntegerDigits. If the new value for minimumIntegerDigits is more than the current value of maximumIntegerDigits, then maximumIntegerDigits will also be set to the new value.

    Parameters
    newValue Int: the minimum number of integer digits to be shown; if less than zero, then zero is used. Subclasses might enforce an upper limit to this value appropriate to the numeric type being formatted.

    setParseIntegerOnly

    Added in API level 24
    open fun setParseIntegerOnly(value: Boolean): Unit

    Sets whether to ignore the fraction part of a number when parsing (defaults to false). If a string contains a decimal point, parsing will stop before the decimal point. Note that determining whether a character is a decimal point depends on the locale.

    For example, in en-US, parsing the string "123.45" will return the number 123 and parse position 3.

    Parameters
    value Boolean: true if this should parse integers only

    setParseStrict

    Added in API level 24
    open fun setParseStrict(value: Boolean): Unit

    [icu] Sets whether strict parsing is in effect. When this is true, the string is required to be a stronger match to the pattern than when lenient parsing is in effect. More specifically, the following conditions cause a parse failure relative to lenient mode (examples use the pattern "#,##0.#"):

    • The presence and position of special symbols, including currency, must match the pattern.
      '+123' fails (there is no plus sign in the pattern)
    • Leading or doubled grouping separators
      ',123' and '1,,234" fail
    • Groups of incorrect length when grouping is used
      '1,23' and '1234,567' fail, but '1234' passes
    • Grouping separators used in numbers followed by exponents
      '1,234E5' fails, but '1234E5' and '1,234E' pass ('E' is not an exponent when not followed by a number)
    When strict parsing is off, all grouping separators are ignored. This is the default behavior.

    Parameters
    value Boolean: True to enable strict parsing. Default is false.
