Java: Currency to Locale Mapping Possible?

Question

I have a value stored in a DB correlating to a monetary amount, say 10.0. I also have access to the Currency/CurrencyCode. How can I use NumberFormat/DecimalFormat/(other?)

Answer 1

JasonTrue is correct, but you can override the currency of the NumberFormat's locale:

NumberFormat numberFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);
//the user may have selected a different currency than the default for their locale
Currency currency = Currency.getInstance("GBP");
numberFormat.setCurrency(currency);
numberFormat.format(amount);
