need to format currency for TextView

android, converters, currency, java, textview

Solution

The format you need is `€ #,###.00`, `,` means you use a grouping separator.

Then, you need a `DecimalFormatSymbols` to specify the grouping symbol and the decimal symbol:

DecimalFormatSymbols symbols = new DecimalFormatSymbols();
symbols.setGroupingSeparator('\'');
symbols.setDecimalSeparator(',');

DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat("€ #,###.00", symbols);
String prezzo = decimalFormat.format(number);

Result `€ 1'515,28`

Problem

i parse a json object and suppose i have this value `1515.2777777777778` i need to parse the currency in this way: `€ 1'515,27` Is there a special class that can directly do the conversion? or should i do it in this way: ``` Double number = Double.valueOf(obj.getString("price")); DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat("€ #\\'###.00"); String prezzo = decimalFormat.format(number); ``` but even in this way i t doesnt lieke the single apostrophe.
