Format(Object, StringBuffer, FieldPosition)

Formats a number and appends the resulting text to the given string buffer.

[Android.Runtime.Register("format", "(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/StringBuffer;Ljava/text/FieldPosition;)Ljava/lang/StringBuffer;", "GetFormat_Ljava_lang_Object_Ljava_lang_StringBuffer_Ljava_text_FieldPosition_Handler")]
public override Java.Lang.StringBuffer Format (Java.Lang.Object number, Java.Lang.StringBuffer toAppendTo, Java.Text.FieldPosition pos);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("format", "(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/StringBuffer;Ljava/text/FieldPosition;)Ljava/lang/StringBuffer;", "GetFormat_Ljava_lang_Object_Ljava_lang_StringBuffer_Ljava_text_FieldPosition_Handler")>]
override this.Format : Java.Lang.Object * Java.Lang.StringBuffer * Java.Text.FieldPosition -> Java.Lang.StringBuffer

Parameters

number
Object

the number to format

toAppendTo
StringBuffer

the StringBuffer to which the formatted text is to be appended

pos
FieldPosition

keeps track on the position of the field within the returned string. For example, for formatting a number 1234567.89 in Locale.US locale, if the given fieldPosition is NumberFormat#INTEGER_FIELD, the begin index and end index of fieldPosition will be set to 0 and 9, respectively for the output string 1,234,567.89.

Returns

the value passed in as toAppendTo

Attributes

Exceptions

if object is not an instance of Number.

Remarks

Formats a number and appends the resulting text to the given string buffer. The number can be of any subclass of java.lang.Number.

This implementation extracts the number's value using java.lang.Number#longValue() for all integral type values that can be converted to long without loss of information, including BigInteger values with a java.math.BigInteger#bitLength() bit length of less than 64, and java.lang.Number#doubleValue() for all other types. It then calls #format(long,java.lang.StringBuffer,java.text.FieldPosition) or #format(double,java.lang.StringBuffer,java.text.FieldPosition). This may result in loss of magnitude information and precision for BigInteger and BigDecimal values.
