Based on this post you can do it like this and it works for me on Android 7.0

import java.text.DecimalFormat
import java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols

DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00");
df.setDecimalFormatSymbols(new DecimalFormatSymbols(Locale.ITALY));
System.out.println(df.format(yourNumber)); //will output 123.456,78

This way you have dot and comma based on your Locale
