NumberFormatter.RoundingPriority

public static final enum NumberFormatter.RoundingPriority
extends Enum<NumberFormatter.RoundingPriority>

java.lang.Object
   ↳ java.lang.Enum<android.icu.number.NumberFormatter.RoundingPriority>
     ↳ android.icu.number.NumberFormatter.RoundingPriority


An enum declaring how to resolve conflicts between maximum fraction digits and maximum significant digits.

There are two modes, RELAXED and STRICT:

  • RELAXED: Relax one of the two constraints (fraction digits or significant digits) in order to round the number to a higher level of precision.
  • STRICT: Enforce both constraints, resulting in the number being rounded to a lower level of precision.

The default settings for compact notation rounding are Max-Fraction = 0 (round to the nearest integer), Max-Significant = 2 (round to 2 significant digits), and priority RELAXED (choose the constraint that results in more digits being displayed).

Conflicting *minimum* fraction and significant digits are always resolved in the direction that results in more trailing zeros.

Example 1: Consider the number 3.141, with various different settings:

  • Max-Fraction = 1: "3.1"
  • Max-Significant = 3: "3.14"

The rounding priority determines how to resolve the conflict when both Max-Fraction and Max-Significant are set. With RELAXED, the less-strict setting (the one that causes more digits to be displayed) will be used; Max-Significant wins. With STRICT, the more-strict setting (the one that causes fewer digits to be displayed) will be used; Max-Fraction wins.

Example 2: Consider the number 8317, with various different settings:

  • Max-Fraction = 1: "8317"
  • Max-Significant = 3: "8320"

Here, RELAXED favors Max-Fraction and STRICT favors Max-Significant. Note that this larger number caused the two modes to favor the opposite result.
