Class NumberFormat
- All Implemented Interfaces:

NumberFormat
is the abstract base class for all number
formats. This class provides the interface for formatting and parsing
numbers in a localized manner. This enables code that can be completely
independent of the locale conventions for decimal points, thousands-separators,
the particular decimal digits used, or whether the number format is even
decimal. For example, this class could be used within an application to
produce a number in a currency format according to the conventions of the desired
locale.
Getting a NumberFormat
To get aNumberFormat
for the default Locale, use one of the static
factory methods that return a concrete subclass of NumberFormat
.
The following formats all provide an example of formatting the Number
"2000.50" with the US
locale as the default locale.
- Use
getInstance()
orgetNumberInstance()
to get a decimal format. For example,"2,000.5"
. - Use
getIntegerInstance()
to get an integer number format. For example,"2,000"
. - Use
getCurrencyInstance()
to get a currency number format. For example,"$2,000.50"
. - Use
getCompactNumberInstance()
to get a compact number format. For example,"2K"
. - Use
getPercentInstance()
to get a format for displaying percentages. For example,"200,050%"
.
NumberFormat
for a different locale is required, use
one of the overloaded factory methods that take Locale
as a parameter,
for example, getIntegerInstance(Locale)
. If the installed locale-sensitive
service implementation does not support the given Locale
, the parent
locale chain will be looked up, and a Locale
used that is supported.
Locale Extensions
Formatting behavior can be changed when using a locale that contains any of the following Unicode extensions,- "nu" ( Numbering System) - Overrides the decimal digits used
- "rg" ( Region Override) - Overrides the country used
- "cf" ( Currency Format style) - Overrides the Currency Format style used
If both "nu" and "rg" are specified, the decimal digits from the "nu" extension supersedes the implicit one from the "rg" extension. Although Unicode extensions defines various keys and values, actual locale-sensitive service implementations in a Java Runtime Environment might not support any particular Unicode locale attributes or key/type pairs.
Below is an example of a "US" locale currency format with accounting style,
NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.forLanguageTag("en-US-u-cf-account"));
With this style, a negative value is formatted enclosed in parentheses, instead
of being prepended with a minus sign.
Using NumberFormat
The following is an example of formatting and parsing in a localized fashion,NumberFormat currencyFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.US);
currencyFormat.format(100000); // returns "$100,000.00"
currencyFormat.parse("$100,000.00"); // returns 100000
Customizing NumberFormat
NumberFormat
provides API to customize formatting and parsing behavior,
-
setParseIntegerOnly(boolean)
; whentrue
, will only return the integer portion of the number parsed from the String. -
setMinimumFractionDigits(int)
; Use to adjust the expected digits when formatting. Use any of the other minimum/maximum or fraction/integer setter methods in the same manner. -
setGroupingUsed(boolean)
; whentrue
, formatted numbers will be displayed with grouping separators. Additionally, whenfalse
, parsing will not expect grouping separators in the parsed String. -
setStrict(boolean)
; whentrue
, parsing will be done strictly. The behavior of strict parsing should be referred to in the implementingNumberFormat
subclass.
To provide more control over formatting or parsing behavior, type checking can
be done to safely convert to an implementing subclass of NumberFormat
; this
provides additional methods defined by the subclass.
For example,
NumberFormat nFmt = NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.US);
if (nFmt instanceof DecimalFormat dFmt) {
dFmt.setDecimalSeparatorAlwaysShown(true);
dFmt.format(100); // returns "100."
}
NumberFormat
subclass returned by the factory methods is dependent
on the locale-service provider implementation installed, and may not always
be DecimalFormat
or CompactNumberFormat
.
You can also use forms of the parse
and format
methods with ParsePosition
and FieldPosition
to
allow you to:
- Progressively parse through pieces of a string
- Align the decimal point and other areas
- If you are using a monospaced font with spacing for alignment,
you can pass the
FieldPosition
in your format call, withfield
=INTEGER_FIELD
. On output,getEndIndex
will be set to the offset between the last character of the integer and the decimal. Add (desiredSpaceCount - getEndIndex) spaces at the front of the string. - If you are using proportional fonts,
instead of padding with spaces, measure the width
of the string in pixels from the start to
getEndIndex
. Then move the pen by (desiredPixelWidth - widthToAlignmentPoint) before drawing the text. It also works where there is no decimal, but possibly additional characters at the end, e.g., with parentheses in negative numbers: "(12)" for -12.
Leniency
NumberFormat
by default, parses leniently. Subclasses may consider
implementing strict parsing and as such, overriding and providing
implementations for the optional isStrict()
and setStrict(boolean)
methods.
Lenient parsing should be used when attempting to parse a number
out of a String that contains non-numerical or non-format related values.
For example, using a Locale.US
currency format to parse the number
1000
out of the String "$1,000.00 was paid".
Strict parsing should be used when attempting to ensure a String adheres exactly
to a locale's conventions, and can thus serve to validate input. For example, successfully
parsing the number 1000.55
out of the String "1.000,55" confirms the String
exactly adhered to the Locale.GERMANY
numerical conventions.
Synchronization
Number formats are generally not synchronized. It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread. If multiple threads access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized externally.- Implementation Requirements:
- Null Parameter Handling
- The
format(double, StringBuffer, FieldPosition)
,format(long, StringBuffer, FieldPosition)
andparse(String, ParsePosition)
methods may throwNullPointerException
, if any of their parameter isnull
. The subclass may provide its own implementation and specification aboutNullPointerException
.
- The default implementation provides rounding modes defined
in
RoundingMode
for formatting numbers. It uses the round half-even algorithm. To change the rounding mode usesetRoundingMode
. TheNumberFormat
returned by the static factory methods is configured to round floating point numbers using half-even rounding (seeRoundingMode.HALF_EVEN
) for formatting.

format
Formats a number and appends the resulting text to the given string buffer. The number can be of any subclass ofNumber
.This implementation extracts the number's value using
Number.longValue()
for all integral type values that can be converted tolong
without loss of information, includingBigInteger
values with abit length
of less than 64, andNumber.doubleValue()
for all other types. It then callsformat(long,java.lang.StringBuffer,java.text.FieldPosition)
orformat(double,java.lang.StringBuffer,java.text.FieldPosition)
. This may result in loss of magnitude information and precision forBigInteger
andBigDecimal
values.- Specified by:
format
in classFormat
- Parameters:
number
- the number to formattoAppendTo
- theStringBuffer
to which the formatted text is to be appendedpos
- keeps track on the position of the field within the returned string. For example, for formatting a number1234567.89
inLocale.US
locale, if the givenfieldPosition
isINTEGER_FIELD
, the begin index and end index offieldPosition
will be set to 0 and 9, respectively for the output string1,234,567.89
.- Returns:
- the value passed in as
toAppendTo
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException

parseObject
Parses text from the given string to produce an object.This method attempts to parse text starting at the index given by

is updated to the index after the last character used (parsing does not necessarily use all characters up to the end of the string), and the parsed object is returned. The updatedpos
can be used to indicate the starting point for the next call to this method. If an error occurs, then the index ofpos
is not changed, the error index ofpos
is set to the index of the character where the error occurred, andnull
is returned.- Specified by:

parse
Parses text from the beginning of the given string to produce aNumber
