DecimalFormatSymbols

open class DecimalFormatSymbols : Cloneable, Serializable

kotlin.Any
↳	java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols

This class represents the set of symbols (such as the decimal separator, the grouping separator, and so on) needed by DecimalFormat to format numbers. DecimalFormat creates for itself an instance of DecimalFormatSymbols from its locale data. If you need to change any of these symbols, you can get the DecimalFormatSymbols object from your DecimalFormat and modify it.

Public constructors

DecimalFormatSymbols

Added in API level 1

DecimalFormatSymbols()

Create a DecimalFormatSymbols object for the default FORMAT locale. It is recommended that the getInstance method is used instead.

This is equivalent to calling DecimalFormatSymbols(Locale.getDefault(Locale.Category.FORMAT)).

See Also

• java.util.Locale#getDefault(java.util.Locale.Category)
• java.util.Locale.Category#FORMAT

DecimalFormatSymbols

Added in API level 1

DecimalFormatSymbols(locale: Locale!)

Create a DecimalFormatSymbols object for the given locale. It is recommended that the getInstance method is used instead. If the specified locale contains the java.util.Locale#UNICODE_LOCALE_EXTENSION for the numbering system, the instance is initialized with the specified numbering system if the JRE implementation supports it. For example,

NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(Locale.forLanguageTag("th-TH-u-nu-thai"))
  

This may return a NumberFormat instance with the Thai numbering system, instead of the Latin numbering system.

Parameters
locale	Locale!: the desired locale

Exceptions
java.lang.NullPointerException	if locale is null

Public methods

clone

Added in API level 1

open fun clone(): Any

Standard override.

Return
Any	a clone of this instance.

Added in API level 1

open fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean

Override equals.

Parameters
