Android Question NumberFormat, is this an bug?

[Filippo]

Hi,

is this an bug, or am I doing something wrong?

    Dim dNum As Double = 1.8
    Log("NumberFormat= " & NumberFormat(dNum * 1000, 0, 0))
    Log("NumberFormat2= " & NumberFormat2(dNum * 1000, 0, 0, 0, False))

NumberFormat= 1,800
NumberFormat2= 1800

We do not know what values you expected.

Are you referring to the comma in the first numberformat?

The comma is a thousands separator in some locales (UK for example) but I understand some use comma as the decimal point so it could look wrong.

Change the NuberFormat2 Boolean parameter (Grouping Used) to 'True' and the result will be the same.

Yes, you're right, I hadn't noticed that until now.
