Format decimal values on a BlackBerry

Question

I am displaying a double to the user, but it is printed as 1.00000000001

However, I need only two digits after the decimal point.

Answer 1

Have you looked at String.format e.g.

String x = String.format("%.2f", number);

Answer 2

There's a class called Formatter that can do the trick. Here's a code snippet:

double value = 1.24790000001;
Formatter formatter = new Formatter();
String formatted = formatter.formatNumber(value, 2);

And, here's a link to the JavaDoc: javax.microedition.global.Formatter
