Android Question Custom numeric format strings

Blueforcer · Jan 10, 2019

Im searching for a solution to do numeric format strings in B4A and B4J
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-numeric-format-strings

especially i need Digit placeholder and Decimal point.
for example i had a raw value of 700 with a mask of "x.xx" i need to convert it to 7.00

Is there a function for something like that?

Microsoft docs are not relevant in Android. Search Android docs for any relevant Info.

Of course i know its not relevant. Im searching for a similar possibility. The given Link is just to show my needs.

I didnt find anything about android, but maybe someone has reprogrammed something similar here.

The standard way to format numbers is with NumberFormat or NumberFormat2.

AHLocale library adds more options: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ahlocale-library.7561/#content

And you can always format it yourself:

B4X:

Sub StrangeFormatNumberWithDot (n As Float) As String
   Dim s As String = NumberFormat2(n, 1, 0, 0, False)
   If s.Replace("-", "").Length >= 3 Then s = s.SubString2(0, s.Length - 2) & "." & s.SubString(s.Length - 2)
   Return s
End Sub
