I made a DoubleFormatter to efficiently convert a great numbers of double values to a nice/presentable string:
double horribleNumber = 3598945.141658554548844;
DoubleFormatter df = new DoubleFormatter(4, 6); // 4 = MaxInteger, 6 = MaxDecimal
String beautyDisplay = df.format(horribleNumber);
- If the integer part of V has more than MaxInteger => display V in scientific format (1.2345E+30). Otherwise, display in normal format (124.45678).
- the MaxDecimal decide numbers of decimal digits (trim with bankers' rounding)
Here the code:
import java.math.RoundingMode;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.text.DecimalFormatSymbols;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.util.Locale;
import com.google.common.base.Preconditions;
import com.google.common.base.Strings;
/**
* Convert a double to a beautiful String (US-local):
*
* double horribleNumber = 3598945.141658554548844;
* DoubleFormatter df = new DoubleFormatter(4,6);
* String beautyDisplay = df.format(horribleNumber);
* String beautyLabel = df.formatHtml(horribleNumber);
*
* Manipulate 3 instances of NumberFormat to efficiently format a great number of double values.
* (avoid to create an object NumberFormat each call of format()).
*
* 3 instances of NumberFormat will be reused to format a value v:
*
* if v < EXP_DOWN, uses nfBelow
* if EXP_DOWN <= v <= EXP_UP, uses nfNormal
* if EXP_UP < v, uses nfAbove
*
* nfBelow, nfNormal and nfAbove will be generated base on the precision_ parameter.
