I\'m trying to print INR format currency like this:
NumberFormat fmt = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
fmt.setCurrency(Currency.getInstance(\"INR\"));
fmt.fo
It's a bit of a hack but in a very similar situation, I used something like this
NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(new Locale("en", "in"));
String currencySymbol = format.format(0.00).replace("0.00", "");
System.out.println(format.format(30382.50).replace(currencySymbol, currencySymbol + " "));
all the currencies I had to deal with involved two decimal places so i was able to do "0.00"
for all of them but if you plan to use something like Japanese Yen, this has to be tweaked. There is a NumberFormat.getCurrency().getSymbol()
; but it returns INR
instead for Rs.
so that cannot be used for getting the currency symbol.
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"
I don't see any easy way to do this. Here's what I came up with...
The key to getting the actual currency symbol seems to be passing the destination locale into Currency.getSymbol:
currencyFormat.getCurrency().getSymbol(locale)
Here's some code that seems like it mostly works:
public static String formatPrice(String price, Locale locale, String currencyCode) {
NumberFormat currencyFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);
Currency currency = Currency.getInstance(currencyCode);
currencyFormat.setCurrency(currency);
try {
String formatted = currencyFormat.format(NumberFormat.getNumberInstance().parse(price));
String symbol = currencyFormat.getCurrency().getSymbol(locale);
// Different locales put the symbol on opposite sides of the amount
// http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_sign
// If there is already a space (like the fr_FR locale formats things),
// then return this as is, otherwise insert a space on either side
// and trim the result
if (StringUtils.contains(formatted, " " + symbol) || StringUtils.contains(formatted, symbol + " ")) {
return formatted;
} else {
return StringUtils.replaceOnce(formatted, symbol, " " + symbol + " ").trim();
}
} catch (ParseException e) {
// ignore
}
return null;
}
See if this works:
DecimalFormat fmt = (DecimalFormat) NumberFormat.getInstance();
fmt.setGroupingUsed(true);
fmt.setPositivePrefix("Rs. ");
fmt.setNegativePrefix("Rs. -");
fmt.setMinimumFractionDigits(2);
fmt.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
fmt.format(30382.50);
Edit: Fixed the first line.
I dont think you can.
You should take a look at http://site.icu-project.org/
There might be better locale-specific currency formatting provided by icu4j.
