DecimalFormatSymbols (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0) (original) (raw)

java.text

Class DecimalFormatSymbols

java.lang.Object java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public final class DecimalFormatSymbols

extends Object

implements Cloneable, Serializable

This class represents the set of symbols (such as the decimal separator, the grouping separator, and so on) needed by DecimalFormat to format numbers. DecimalFormat creates for itself an instance ofDecimalFormatSymbols from its locale data. If you need to change any of these symbols, you can get the DecimalFormatSymbols object from your DecimalFormat and modify it.

getMinusSign

public char getMinusSign()

Gets the character used to represent minus sign. If no explicit negative format is specified, one is formed by prefixing minusSign to the positive format.

setMinusSign

public void setMinusSign(char minusSign)

Sets the character used to represent minus sign. If no explicit negative format is specified, one is formed by prefixing minusSign to the positive format.

getCurrencySymbol

public String getCurrencySymbol()

Returns the currency symbol for the currency of these DecimalFormatSymbols in their locale.

Since:

1.2

setCurrencySymbol

public void setCurrencySymbol(String currency)

Sets the currency symbol for the currency of these DecimalFormatSymbols in their locale.

Since:

1.2

getInternationalCurrencySymbol

public String getInternationalCurrencySymbol()

Returns the ISO 4217 currency code of the currency of these DecimalFormatSymbols.

Since:

1.2

setInternationalCurrencySymbol

public void setInternationalCurrencySymbol(String currencyCode)

Sets the ISO 4217 currency code of the currency of these DecimalFormatSymbols. If the currency code is valid (as defined byCurrency.getInstance), this also sets the currency attribute to the corresponding Currency instance and the currency symbol attribute to the currency's symbol in the DecimalFormatSymbols' locale. If the currency code is not valid, then the currency attribute is set to null and the currency symbol attribute is not modified.

Since:

1.2

See Also:

setCurrency(java.util.Currency), setCurrencySymbol(java.lang.String)

getCurrency

public Currency getCurrency()

Gets the currency of these DecimalFormatSymbols. May be null if the currency symbol attribute was previously set to a value that's not a valid ISO 4217 currency code.

Returns:

the currency used, or null

Since:

1.4

setCurrency

public void setCurrency(Currency currency)

Sets the currency of these DecimalFormatSymbols. This also sets the currency symbol attribute to the currency's symbol in the DecimalFormatSymbols' locale, and the international currency symbol attribute to the currency's ISO 4217 currency code.

Parameters:

currency - the new currency to be used

Throws:

[NullPointerException](../../java/lang/NullPointerException.html "class in java.lang") - if currency is null

Since:

1.4
