How to prevent Gson from converting a long number (a json string ) to scientific notation format?

Question

I need to convert json string to java object and display it as a long. The json string is a fixed array of long numbers:

{numbers
[ 268627104, 485677888, 506         


        

Answer 1

I did not find a solution to my problem of gson formatting numbers ending in 0 to scientific notation. I instead used a work-around to convert this scientific notation into a double that I formatted with commas. "value" is the json string.

  private String formatNumber(String value) { 
    double dValue = Double.parseDouble(value);
    String pattern = "#,###";
    DecimalFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat(pattern);
    String newNumber = formatter.format(dValue);

            return newNumber;
}

This doesn't answer the question asked but is an added step to work-around the problem to display the numbers as required by the system.
