Hey list!!
Just a question regarding the use of NSNumberFormatter vs NumberFormat.
We're working on localizing one of our app for use in multiple
countries. We are dealing with decimal and currency formats in a
variety of locales. Just wondering what everyone else uses and the
pros and cons of using NumberFormat over NSNumberFormatter or Wonders
ERXNumberFormatter.
If we have a format string such as "$#,##0.00" NSNumberFormatter
doesn't correctly localize the currency symbol, it does substitute the
correct symbol, but not necessarily in the right position. IE for
United States, France and Germay
US ---> $1,100.59
France ---> €1 100,59 Should be --> 1 100,59 €
Germany ---> €1.100,59 Should be --> 1.110,59 €
If I use the NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance( LOCALE ) it formats the
numbers correctly. NSNumberFormat doesn't provide a "currencyInstance".
We could use NumberFormat throughout our app and not use
NSNumberFormatter at all ... but I'm just wondering what other
functionality we would lose ... does NSNumberFormatter do anything
"special" that NumberFormat does not.
Also, does anyone know if NSNumberFormatter will suffer the same
depreciated fate the NSTimestampFormatter has? I guess that's a
question for Pierre.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! I just don't want to
go down one path and find that I should have taken another :).
Thanks!!!
Michael.
