Get the currency symbol based on country

Question

I have a TextView which display currencies. By default my textview\'s text is: $0.00 How can I make it so the $ changes based on user selection.

Answer 1

You could use a regular expression to remove all word characters.

    String symbol = currency.getSymbol().replaceAll("\\w", "");

However this may not be ideal if any of the monetary symbols you are dealing with use letters.
