Class Currency

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    CustomSymbolCurrency

    public class Currency
    extends MeasureUnit
    A class encapsulating a currency, as defined by ISO 4217. A Currency object can be created given a Locale or given an ISO 4217 code. Once created, the Currency object can return various data necessary to its proper display:
    • A display symbol, for a specific locale
    • The number of fraction digits to display
    • A rounding increment
    The DecimalFormat class uses these data to display currencies.

    Note: This class deliberately resembles java.util.Currency but it has a completely independent implementation, and adds features not present in the JDK.

      • NARROW_SYMBOL_NAME

        public static final int NARROW_SYMBOL_NAME
        Selector for getName() indicating the narrow currency symbol.

        The narrow currency symbol is similar to the regular currency symbol, but it always takes the shortest form; for example, "$" instead of "US$" for USD in en-CA.

        The formal currency symbol is similar to the regular currency symbol, but it always takes the form used in formal settings such as banking; for example, "NT$" instead of "$" for TWD in zh-TW.

        See Also:
        Constant Field Values
      • VARIANT_SYMBOL_NAME

        public static final int VARIANT_SYMBOL_NAME

      • getKeywordValuesForLocale

        public static final java.lang.String[] getKeywordValuesForLocale​(java.lang.String key,
                                                                         ULocale locale,

        Given a key and a locale, returns an array of values for the key for which data exists. If commonlyUsed is true, these are the values that typically are used with this locale, otherwise these are all values for which data exists. This is a common service API.

        The only supported key is "currency", other values return an empty array.

        Currency information is based on the region of the locale. If the locale does not indicate a region, ULocale.addLikelySubtags(ULocale) is used to infer a region, except for the 'und' locale.

        If commonlyUsed is true, only the currencies known to be in use as of the current date are returned. When there are more than one, these are returned in preference order (typically, this occurs when a country is transitioning to a new currency, and the newer currency is preferred), see Unicode TR#35 Sec. C1. If commonlyUsed is false, all currencies ever used in any locale are returned, in no particular order.

        Parameters:
        key - key whose values to look up. the only recognized key is "currency"
        locale - the locale
        commonlyUsed - if true, return only values that are currently used in the locale. Otherwise returns all values.
        Returns:
        an array of values for the given key and the locale. If there is no data, the array will be empty.

        Returns the ISO 4217 numeric code for this currency object.

        Note: If the ISO 4217 numeric code is not assigned for the currency or the currency is unknown, this method returns 0.

        Returns:
        The ISO 4217 numeric code of this currency.

        Deprecated.
        This API is ICU internal only.
        Attempt to parse the given string as a currency, either as a display name in the given locale, or as a 3-letter ISO 4217 code. If multiple display names match, then the longest one is selected. If both a display name and a 3-letter ISO code match, then the display name is preferred, unless it's length is less than 3.
        Parameters:
        locale - the locale of the display names to match
        text - the text to parse
        type - parse against currency type: LONG_NAME only or not
        pos - input-output position; on input, the position within text to match; must have 0 <= pos.getIndex() < text.length(); on output, the position after the last matched character. If the parse fails, the position in unchanged upon output.
        Returns:

        Returns the number of the number of fraction digits that should be displayed for this currency. This is equivalent to getDefaultFractionDigits(CurrencyUsage.STANDARD); Important: The number of fraction digits for a given currency is NOT guaranteed to be constant across versions of ICU or CLDR. For example, do NOT use this value as a mechanism for deciding the magnitude used to store currency values in a database. You should use this value for display purposes only.

        Note: For checking availability of a currency on a specific date, specify the date on both from and to. When both from and to are null, this method checks if the specified currency is available all time.

        Parameters:
        code - The ISO 4217 3-letter code.
        from - The lower bound of the date range, inclusive. When from is null, check the availability of the currency any date before to
