Android Question NumberFormat2() with decimalseparator accroding to locale?

[fredo]

According to the documentation NumberFormat2() returns a string with a decimal separator and grouping characters.

NumberFormat2(12345.67, 0, 3, 3, True) = 12,345.670

While localizing a large project I need to have the comma and dot according to the devices active locale, but NumberFormat2() delivers the same for countries US and DE.

In order to avoid NumberFormatExceptions (de_DE expects "12.345,670") I could change the characters on the fly via .replace(",", ".") .

But before growing performance issues (e.g. fast scrolling of ULV with 20 views per Layoutpanel) I would like to know if there is an Android function I could call via reflection.

That's not true. You will encounter parsing problems if you convert the decimal separator. B4A always expects a dot as the decimal separator.

You can use the code posted here to control the separators: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/specify-thousands-separator.74270/#content
