Known direct subclasses

ChoiceFormat, DecimalFormat

ChoiceFormat	A `ChoiceFormat` allows you to attach a format to a range of numbers.
DecimalFormat	`DecimalFormat` is a concrete subclass of `NumberFormat` that formats decimal numbers.

NumberFormat is the abstract base class for all number formats. This class provides the interface for formatting and parsing numbers. NumberFormat also provides methods for determining which locales have number formats, and what their names are.

NumberFormat helps you to format and parse numbers for any locale. Your code can be completely independent of the locale conventions for decimal points, thousands-separators, or even the particular decimal digits used, or whether the number format is even decimal.

To format a number for the current Locale, use one of the factory class methods:

myString = NumberFormat.getInstance().format(myNumber);

If you are formatting multiple numbers, it is more efficient to get the format and use it multiple times so that the system doesn't have to fetch the information about the local language and country conventions multiple times.

NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance();
 for (int i = 0; i < myNumber.length; ++i) {
     output.println(nf.format(myNumber[i]) + "; ");
 }

To format a number for a different Locale, specify it in the call to getInstance.

NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.FRENCH);

If the locale contains "nu" (numbers) Unicode extensions, the decimal digits, and/or the country used for formatting are overridden.

You can also use a NumberFormat to parse numbers:

myNumber = nf.parse(myString);

Use getInstance or getNumberInstance to get the normal number format. Use getIntegerInstance to get an integer number format. Use getCurrencyInstance to get the currency number format. Use getCompactNumberInstance to get the compact number format to format a number in shorter form. For example, 2000 can be formatted as "2K" in US locale. Use getPercentInstance to get a format for displaying percentages. With this format, a fraction like 0.53 is displayed as 53%.

You can also control the display of numbers with such methods as setMinimumFractionDigits. If you want even more control over the format or parsing, or want to give your users more control, you can try casting the NumberFormat you get from the factory methods to a DecimalFormat or CompactNumberFormat depending on the factory method used. This will work for the vast majority of locales; just remember to put it in a try block in case you encounter an unusual one.

NumberFormat and DecimalFormat are designed such that some controls work for formatting and others work for parsing. The following is the detailed description for each these control methods,

setParseIntegerOnly : only affects parsing, e.g. if true, "3456.78" → 3456 (and leaves the parse position just after index 6) if false, "3456.78" → 3456.78 (and leaves the parse position just after index 8) This is independent of formatting. If you want to not show a decimal point where there might be no digits after the decimal point, use setDecimalSeparatorAlwaysShown.

setDecimalSeparatorAlwaysShown : only affects formatting, and only where there might be no digits after the decimal point, such as with a pattern like "#,##0.##", e.g., if true, 3456.00 → "3,456." if false, 3456.00 → "3456" This is independent of parsing. If you want parsing to stop at the decimal point, use setParseIntegerOnly.

You can also use forms of the parse and format methods with ParsePosition and FieldPosition to allow you to:

progressively parse through pieces of a string
align the decimal point and other areas

For example, you can align numbers in two ways:

If you are using a monospaced font with spacing for alignment, you can pass the FieldPosition in your format call, with field = INTEGER_FIELD. On output, getEndIndex will be set to the offset between the last character of the integer and the decimal. Add (desiredSpaceCount - getEndIndex) spaces at the front of the string.
If you are using proportional fonts, instead of padding with spaces, measure the width of the string in pixels from the start to getEndIndex. Then move the pen by (desiredPixelWidth - widthToAlignmentPoint) before drawing the text. It also works where there is no decimal, but possibly additional characters at the end, e.g., with parentheses in negative numbers: "(12)" for -12.

Synchronization

Number formats are generally not synchronized. It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread. If multiple threads access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized externally.

Overrides Cloneable.

Returns
`Object`	a clone of this instance.

equals

Added in API level 1

public boolean equals (Object obj)

Overrides equals.

Parameters
`obj`	`Object`: the reference object with which to compare.

format

Added in API level 1

public StringBuffer format (Object number, 
                StringBuffer toAppendTo, 
                FieldPosition pos)

Formats a number and appends the resulting text to the given string buffer. The number can be of any subclass of Number.

This implementation extracts the number's value using Number.longValue() for all integral type values that can be converted to long without loss of information, including BigInteger values with a bit length of less than 64, and Number.doubleValue() for all other types. It then calls format(long, java.lang.StringBuffer, java.text.FieldPosition) or format(double, java.lang.StringBuffer, java.text.FieldPosition). This may result in loss of magnitude information and precision for BigInteger and BigDecimal values.

Parameters
`number`	`Object`: the number to format
`toAppendTo`	`StringBuffer`: the `StringBuffer` to which the formatted text is to be appended
`pos`	`FieldPosition`: keeps track on the position of the field within the returned string. For example, for formatting a number `1234567.89` in `Locale.US` locale, if the given `fieldPosition` is `NumberFormat#INTEGER_FIELD`, the begin index and end index of `fieldPosition` will be set to 0 and 9, respectively for the output string `1,234,567.89`.

Returns
`StringBuffer`	the value passed in as `toAppendTo`

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if `number` is null or not an instance of `Number`.
`NullPointerException`	if `toAppendTo` or `pos` is null

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if numbers should be parsed as integers only; `false` otherwise

parse

Added in API level 1

public Number parse (String source)

Parses text from the beginning of the given string to produce a number. The method may not use the entire text of the given string.

See the parse(java.lang.String, java.text.ParsePosition) method for more information on number parsing.

WARNING: Don't use this method to deserialize a number. The underlying localized number format and parsing behaviors can change across Android versions as common usage in the locale changes. Consider using the parse methods in the boxed types, e.g. Long#parseLong(String), or BigDecimal for deserializing a locale-independent decimal number.

Parameters
`source`	`String`: A `String` whose beginning should be parsed.

Returns
`Number`	A `Number` parsed from the string.

Throws
`ParseException`	if the beginning of the specified string cannot be parsed.

parse

Added in API level 1

public abstract Number parse (String source, 
                ParsePosition parsePosition)

Returns a Long if possible (e.g., within the range [Long.MIN_VALUE, Long.MAX_VALUE] and with no decimals), otherwise a Double. If IntegerOnly is set, will stop at a decimal point (or equivalent; e.g., for rational numbers "1 2/3", will stop after the 1). Does not throw an exception; if no object can be parsed, index is unchanged!

Parameters
`source`	`String`: the String to parse
`parsePosition`	`ParsePosition`: the parse position

Returns
`Number`	the parsed value

See also:

parseObject

Added in API level 1

public final Object parseObject (String source, 
                ParsePosition pos)

Parses text from a string to produce a Number.

The method attempts to parse text starting at the index given by pos. If parsing succeeds, then the index of pos is updated to the index after the last character used (parsing does not necessarily use all characters up to the end of the string), and the parsed number is returned. The updated pos can be used to indicate the starting point for the next call to this method. If an error occurs, then the index of pos is not changed, the error index of pos is set to the index of the character where the error occurred, and null is returned.

See the parse(java.lang.String, java.text.ParsePosition) method for more information on number parsing.

Parameters
`source`	`String`: A `String`, part of which should be parsed.
`pos`	`ParsePosition`: A `ParsePosition` object with index and error index information as described above.

Returns
`Object`	A `Number` parsed from the string. In case of error, returns null.

Throws
`NullPointerException`	if `source` or `pos` is null.

setCurrency

Added in API level 1

public void setCurrency (Currency currency)

Sets the currency used by this number format when formatting currency values. This does not update the minimum or maximum number of fraction digits used by the number format.

The default implementation throws UnsupportedOperationException.
