Class NumberFormat

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    ChoiceFormat, DecimalFormat

    public abstract class NumberFormat
    extends Format
    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);
     
    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. And 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. 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:
    1. 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.
    2. 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.

        protected NumberFormat()
        Sole constructor. (For invocation by subclass constructors, typically implicit.)
    • Method Detail

      • parseObject

        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(String, ParsePosition) method for more information on number parsing.

        Specified by:
        parseObject in class Format
        Parameters:
        source - A String, part of which should be parsed.
        pos - A ParsePosition object with index and error index information as described above.
        Returns:
        A Number parsed from the string. In case of error, returns null.
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if pos is null.
      • parse

        public Number parse(String source)
                     throws ParseException
        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(String, ParsePosition) method for more information on number parsing.

        Parameters:
        source - A String whose beginning should be parsed.
        Returns:
        A Number parsed from the string.
        Throws:
        ParseException - if the beginning of the specified string cannot be parsed.
      • isParseIntegerOnly

        public boolean isParseIntegerOnly()
        Returns true if this format will parse numbers as integers only. For example in the English locale, with ParseIntegerOnly true, the string "1234." would be parsed as the integer value 1234 and parsing would stop at the "." character. Of course, the exact format accepted by the parse operation is locale dependant and determined by sub-classes of NumberFormat.
      • setParseIntegerOnly

        public void setParseIntegerOnly(boolean value)
        Sets whether or not numbers should be parsed as integers only.
        See Also:
        isParseIntegerOnly()
      • getInstance

        public static final NumberFormat getInstance()
        Returns a general-purpose number format for the current default locale. This is the same as calling getNumberInstance().
      • getNumberInstance

        public static final NumberFormat getNumberInstance()
        Returns a general-purpose number format for the current default locale.
      • getNumberInstance

        public static NumberFormat getNumberInstance(Locale inLocale)
        Returns a general-purpose number format for the specified locale.
      • getIntegerInstance

        public static final NumberFormat getIntegerInstance()
        Returns an integer number format for the current default locale.

        Returns:
        a number format for integer values

        public static Locale[] getAvailableLocales()
        Returns an array of all locales for which the get*Instance methods of this class can return localized instances. The returned array represents the union of locales supported by the Java runtime and by installed NumberFormatProvider implementations. It must contain at least a Locale instance equal to Locale.US.
        Returns:
        An array of locales for which localized NumberFormat instances are available.
