BigDecimal to string

Question

I have a BigDecimal object and i want to convert it to string. The problem is that my value got fraction and i get a huge number (in length) and i only need the original num

Answer 1

For better support different locales use this way:

DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat();
df.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
df.setMinimumFractionDigits(0);
df.setGroupingUsed(false);

df.format(bigDecimal);

also you can customize it:

DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("###,###,###");
df.format(bigDecimal);
