I'm using DecimalFormat to format doubles to 2 decimal places like this:
DecimalFormat dec = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
double rawPercent = ( (double)(count.getCount().intValue()) /
(double)(total.intValue()) ) * 100.00;
double percentage = Double.valueOf(dec.format(rawPercent));
It works, but if i have a number like 20, it gives me this:
20.0
and I want this:
20.00
Any suggestions?
The DecimalFormat class is for transforming a decimal numeric value into a String. In your example, you are taking the String that comes from the format( ) method and putting it back into a double variable. If you are then outputting that double variable you would not see the formatted string. See the code example below and its output:
int count = 10;
int total = 20;
DecimalFormat dec = new DecimalFormat("#.00");
double rawPercent = ( (double)(count) / (double)(total) ) * 100.00;
double percentage = Double.valueOf(dec.format(rawPercent));
System.out.println("DF Version: " + dec.format(rawPercent));
System.out.println("double version: " + percentage);
Which outputs:
"DF Version: 50.00"
"double version: 50.0"
Try this code:
BigDecimal decimal = new BigDecimal("100.25");
BigDecimal decimal2 = new BigDecimal("1000.70");
BigDecimal decimal3 = new BigDecimal("10000.00");
DecimalFormat format = new DecimalFormat("###,###,###,###,###.##");
format.setDecimalSeparatorAlwaysShown(true);
format.setMinimumFractionDigits(2);
System.out.println(format.format(decimal));
System.out.println(format.format(decimal2));
System.out.println(format.format(decimal3));
Result:
100.25
1,000.70
10,000.00
You can try something like:
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("0.000000");
df.setMinimumFractionDigits(0);
df.setMinimumIntegerDigits(2);
This way you can ensure the minimum number of digits before or after the decimal
Try this code:
int count = 10;
int total = 20;
int another=0;
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("0.00");
System.out.println(df.format(count));
System.out.println(df.format(total ));
System.out.println(df.format(another));
The output is:
10.00
20.00
0.00
I found my small test program useful and want to share it with you. Enjoy.

Try using a DecimalFormat of "0.00" instead. According to the JavaDocs, this won't strip off the extra 0s.
