need space between currency symbol and amount

Question

I\'m trying to print INR format currency like this:

NumberFormat fmt = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
fmt.setCurrency(Currency.getInstance(\"INR\"));
fmt.fo         


        

Answer 1

An easier method, kind of workaround. For my locale, the currency symbol is "R$"

public static String moneyFormatter(double d){

    DecimalFormat fmt = (DecimalFormat) NumberFormat.getInstance();
    Locale locale = Locale.getDefault();
    String symbol = Currency.getInstance(locale).getSymbol(locale);
    fmt.setGroupingUsed(true);
    fmt.setPositivePrefix(symbol + " ");
    fmt.setNegativePrefix("-" + symbol + " ");
    fmt.setMinimumFractionDigits(2);
    fmt.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
    return fmt.format(d);
}

Input:

moneyFormatter(225.0);

Output:

"R$ 225,00"
