Answer 1

Here is an utility method to have the symbol, whatever is your locale

    public class Utils {

        public static SortedMap currencyLocaleMap;

        static {
            currencyLocaleMap = new TreeMap(new Comparator() {
                @Override
                public int compare(Currency c1, Currency c2) {
                    return c1.getCurrencyCode().compareTo(c2.getCurrencyCode());
                }
            });

            for (Locale locale : Locale.getAvailableLocales()) {
                try {
                    Currency currency = Currency.getInstance(locale);
                    currencyLocaleMap.put(currency, locale);
                }
                catch (Exception e) {
                }
            }
        }


        public static String getCurrencySymbol(String currencyCode) {
            Currency currency = Currency.getInstance(currencyCode);
            return currency.getSymbol(currencyLocaleMap.get(currency));
        }

       public static String  getAmountAsFormattedString(Double amount, Double decimals, String currencyCode) {
            Currency currency = Currency.getInstance(currencyCode);
            double doubleBalance = 0.00;
            if (amount != null) {
                doubleBalance = ((Double) amount) / (Math.pow(10.0, decimals));
            }
            NumberFormat numberFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(currencyLocaleMap.get(currency));
            return numberFormat.format(doubleBalance);
    }


    }
