string - USD Currency Formatting in Java -

In Java, how can I efficiently change the strips such as 1234.56 and string the same bigdidimals Like $ 1,234.56

I am looking for the following:

string becomes 12345.67 string $ 12,345.67

I am also looking to do this with float and BigDecimal .

is a locale-sensitive phrase that works well:

  import java.text.NumberFormat; // Receive Currency Formator for Existing Locate Number Format fmt = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance (); Println (fmt.format (120.00));  

If your current location is in the US, then println will print $ 120.00

another example:

  import java.text.NumberFormat; Import java.util.Locale; Local location = new locale ("n", "uk"); Number format fmt = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance (locale); Println (fmt.format (120.00));  

It will print: £ 120.00
