How to format double value for a given locale and number of decimal places?

Question

How can I use NumberFormat to format a double value for a given Locale (default locale is sufficient) and for a given number of decima

Answer 1

Adapted from Customizing Formats,

  public void localizedFormat(double value,Locale loc ) {

  NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(loc);
  DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
  df.applyPattern("###,###.00");
  String output = df.format(value);

  }

This function should give you the required formatting.
