DecimalFormatSymbols

public class DecimalFormatSymbols
extends Object implements Cloneable, Serializable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ 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.

Inherited methods

Public constructors

DecimalFormatSymbols

public 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:

DecimalFormatSymbols

public 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 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

Throws
NullPointerException if locale is null

Public methods

clone

public Object clone ()

Standard override.

Returns
Object a clone of this instance.

equals

public boolean equals (Object obj)

Returns
boolean true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

Returns an array of all locales for which the getInstance methods of this class can return localized instances.

Returns
Locale[] an array of locales for which localized DecimalFormatSymbols instances are available.

public String getCurrencySymbol ()

Returns the currency symbol for the currency of these DecimalFormatSymbols in their locale.

Returns
String the currency symbol

getDecimalSeparator

public char getDecimalSeparator ()

Gets the character used for decimal sign. Different for French, etc.

Returns
char the character used for decimal sign

getDigit

public char getDigit ()

Gets the character used for a digit in a pattern.

Returns
char the character used for a digit in a pattern

getExponentSeparator

Returns
DecimalFormatSymbols a DecimalFormatSymbols instance.

See also:

getInstance
