For all of those who are trying to get currency in their locale this will help
The lines of code you see below is exactly the same as display method the one you see in quantity_text_view
private void displayPrice(int number) { TextView priceTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.price_text_view); priceTextView.setText(NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance().format(number)); }
The major difference here is this line
priceTextView.setText(NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance().format(number));
Now what exactly this line of code does is,it's adding the currecy symbol to your calculation like this $10.00
This whole line is just to get currency sign **
(NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance().format()
Now to change currency to your locale there are two ways:
Easy Way
- priceTextView.setText("₹"+number);
In this you provide your currency symbol directly inside these "" marks
This line is exactly same as one you see in display method but here your adding your currency sign to the number
In this way you don't get decimal numbers what i mean is you get like this
₹10
instead of this₹10.00
Udacity Way
- Like i said above
This whole line is just to get currency sign
(NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance().format(number)
.All we have to do is change it to your local like this
priceTextView.setText(NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(new Locale("en","IN")).format(number));
Above i've added this
new Locale("en","IN")
new line inside of getCurrencyInstance()By adding that line we are saying i want the currency to be in other local instead of default one with this
new Locale()
Now we need to tell in what local we want the currency to be.
We say that by adding these
"en" , "in"
- "en" -This is language and i want it to be in ENGLISH.
- "IN" -This is country since i'm INDIAN i say "IN"
HOPE THIS WILL HELP , THANK YOU!
Thank you! It works.
