## Public methods
### currency
Added in[API level 30](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static CurrencyPrecision currency (Currency.CurrencyUsage currencyUsage)
```
Show numbers rounded and padded according to the rules for the currency unit. The most common rounding precision settings for currencies include`Precision.fixedFraction(2)`,`Precision.integer()`, and`Precision.increment(0.05)`for cash transactions ("nickel rounding").
The exact rounding details will be resolved at runtime based on the currency unit specified in the NumberFormatter chain. To round according to the rules for one currency while displaying the symbol for another currency, the withCurrency() method can be called on the return value of this method.
| Parameters ||
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `currencyUsage` | `Currency.CurrencyUsage`: Either STANDARD (for digital transactions) or CASH (for transactions where the rounding increment may be limited by the available denominations of cash or coins).
|
| Returns ||
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [CurrencyPrecision](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/icu/number/CurrencyPrecision) | A CurrencyPrecision for chaining or passing to the NumberFormatter precision() setter.
|
| Throws ||
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------|
| [IllegalArgumentException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException) | if currencyUsage is null. |

### fixedFraction
Added in[API level 30](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static FractionPrecision fixedFraction (int minMaxFractionPlaces)
```
Show numbers rounded if necessary to a certain number of fraction places (numerals after the decimal separator). Additionally, pad with zeros to ensure that this number of places are always shown.
Example output with minMaxFractionPlaces = 3:
87,650.000
8,765.000
876.500
87.650
8.765
0.876
0.088
0.009
0.000 (zero)
This method is equivalent to[minMaxFraction(int, int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/icu/number/Precision#minMaxFraction(int,%20int))with both arguments equal.
| Parameters ||
|------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `minMaxFractionPlaces` | `int`: The minimum and maximum number of numerals to display after the decimal separator (rounding if too long or padding with zeros if too short).
|
| Returns ||
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [FractionPrecision](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/icu/number/FractionPrecision) | A FractionPrecision for chaining or passing to the NumberFormatter precision() setter.
|
| Throws ||
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------|
| [IllegalArgumentException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException) | if the input number is too big or smaller than 0. |
**See also:**
- [NumberFormatter](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/icu/number/NumberFormatter)
### fixedSignificantDigits
Added in[API level 30](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static Precision fixedSignificantDigits (int minMaxSignificantDigits)
```
Show numbers rounded if necessary to a certain number of significant digits or significant figures. Additionally, pad with zeros to ensure that this number of significant digits/figures are always shown.
This method is equivalent to[minMaxSignificantDigits(int, int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/icu/number/Precision#minMaxSignificantDigits(int,%20int))with both arguments equal.
| Parameters ||
|---------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `minMaxSignificantDigits` | `int`: The minimum and maximum number of significant digits to display (rounding if too long or padding with zeros if too short).
|
| Returns ||
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|
| Throws ||
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------|
| [IllegalArgumentException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException) | if the input number is too big or smaller than 1. |

### increment
Added in[API level 30](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static Precision increment (BigDecimal roundingIncrement)
```
Show numbers rounded if necessary to the closest multiple of a certain rounding increment. For example, if the rounding increment is 0.5, then round 1.2 to 1 and round 1.3 to 1.5.
In order to ensure that numbers are padded to the appropriate number of fraction places, set the scale on the rounding increment BigDecimal. For example, to round to the nearest 0.5 and always display 2 numerals after the decimal separator (to display 1.2 as "1.00" and 1.3 as "1.50"), you can run:
```
Precision.increment(new BigDecimal("0.50"))
```
For more information on the scale of Java BigDecimal, see[BigDecimal.scale()](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/math/BigDecimal#scale()).
| Parameters ||
|---------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|
| `roundingIncrement` | `BigDecimal`: The increment to which to round numbers.
|
| Returns ||
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [Precision](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/icu/number/Precision) | A Precision for chaining or passing to the NumberFormatter precision() setter.
|
| Throws ||
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------|
| [IllegalArgumentException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException) | if the rounding increment is null or non-positive. |
