Bug? NumberFormat2 does not take into account locale in B4A 8.0

[tomazc]

Hi,
after upgrade to B4A 8.0, NumberFormat2 doesn't take into account locale number format.

Dim joBA As JavaObject
joBA.InitializeStatic("anywheresoftware.b4a.BA")
Dim joNF As JavaObject
joNF.InitializeStatic("java.text.NumberFormat")
Dim ref As Reflector
ref.Target = ref.CreateObject2("java.util.Locale", Array As Object("sl"), Array As String("java.lang.String"))
NFSlo = joNF.RunMethod("getInstance", Array As Object (ref.Target))
joBA.SetField("numberFormat", NFSlo)

'Test:
Log(NumberFormat(2131231231.123456, 1, 2))
Log(NumberFormat2(2131231231.123456, 1, 2, 2, True))

Result:
2.131.231.231,12
2,131,231,231.12

This is not a bug. NumberFormat doesn't depend on the device locale. It was always like this.

Your code uses reflection to change the internal behavior. It is still possible to do it though you need to make a small modification.
Start a new thread in the questions forum and I'll show you the code required.
