Adding comma and space on string

Question

I have a value of 100000

What I get 100,000

What I want 100, 000

I am supporting API 15.

I format it as indonesian currency using

new StringBuilder("Rp. ").append(String.format("%,d", parseInt(amount[position])));

What I've tried

String.format("%1s", String.format("%,d", parseInt(amount[position])));

I came from Web Dev world and I find Java android so difficult.

Try `DecimalFormat` http://stackoverflow.com/a/3672738/3111083 — Sunil Sunny, Jan 19 '17 at 04:59
You do not need `String.valueOf` on a `String.format`. That is already a string — OneCricketeer, Jan 19 '17 at 05:00
@cricket_007 yeah. I realized it now. Thanks. I'll test it again. — hdotluna, Jan 19 '17 at 05:01
Anyways, if you like web-dev better, I'd suggest react-native or maybe Cordova, or the other cross-platform web/Android tools — OneCricketeer, Jan 19 '17 at 05:05
@cricket_007 I used ionic before. I have task to create this project on native language. Thanks for your time :) — hdotluna, Jan 19 '17 at 05:07
Try this `NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(new Locale("in", "ID")).format(amount)` — Raman Sahasi, Jan 19 '17 at 05:10

Provided you have a String :

String x = "100,000";

Then you can use replaceAll() to generate 100,000 -> 100, 000

Eg:

    String x = "100,000";

    System.out.println(x.replaceAll(",",", "));

Which shall print 100, 000

The initial value is comma-less. `100000`, which probably is a int or double – OneCricketeer Jan 19 '17 at 05:02
That's an example. `x` is dynamic depends on what value API return. – hdotluna Jan 19 '17 at 05:02

For Currency formatting best approach is to use Locale read more here.

Locale locale= // build your locale here
String value= NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale).format(100000)
