Overloads

Format(Object, StringBuffer, FieldPosition)	Formats a number and appends the resulting text to the given string buffer.
Format(Double, StringBuffer, FieldPosition)	Formats a double to produce a string.
Format(Int64, StringBuffer, FieldPosition)	Format a long to produce a string.

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;", "")]
public override sealed 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;", "")>]
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

StringBuffer

the value passed in as toAppendTo

Attributes
