POBug with iPhone Currency for Euro format with NSDecimalNumber using NSLocale?
text
Body
copied!<p>My app uses monetary values, and I would like to represent these values in the currency and formats that the user has set on their iPhone however, when testing, I seem to be having troubles with the German EURO format. </p> <p>I have a method that returns a decimal number (for storing in core data) from the currency formatted string. The string was actually formatted by another (similar) method using NSlocale. </p> <p>I have tested with UK, US, Japanese and German locales, so far only Germany has caused any problems. </p> <p>Here's the code, the string being passed is for example: 2,56 €</p> <pre><code>+ (NSDecimalNumber*)TLCurrencyFormatFromString:(NSString*)strNumber { NSNumberFormatter *fmtrCurrencyFromStr = nil; fmtrCurrencyFromStr = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init]; [fmtrCurrencyFromStr setFormatterBehavior:NSNumberFormatterBehavior10_4]; [fmtrCurrencyFromStr setLocale:[NSLocale currentLocale]]; [fmtrCurrencyFromStr setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle]; [fmtrCurrencyFromStr setGeneratesDecimalNumbers:YES]; NSLog(@"Currency Separator: %@", [fmtrCurrencyFromStr decimalSeparator]); //prints a comma NSLog(@"Currency Code: %@", [fmtrCurrencyFromStr currencyCode]); //prints EUR int currencyScale = [fmtrCurrencyFromStr maximumFractionDigits]; NSDecimalNumberHandler *roundingBehavior = [NSDecimalNumberHandler decimalNumberHandlerWithRoundingMode:NSRoundPlain scale:currencyScale raiseOnExactness:FALSE raiseOnOverflow:TRUE raiseOnUnderflow:TRUE raiseOnDivideByZero:TRUE]; NSDecimalNumber* currencyNumber = [[NSDecimalNumber alloc] initWithDecimal:[[fmtrCurrencyFromStr numberFromString:strNumber] decimalValue]]; NSLog(@"Currency Number = %@", [currencyNumber decimalNumberByRoundingAccordingToBehavior:roundingBehavior]); return [currencyNumber decimalNumberByRoundingAccordingToBehavior:roundingBehavior]; </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>The 'currencyNumber' variable gets printed as: -18446912453607470532000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000</p> <p>whereas in all the other locales, it would print 2.56 for storing into Core Data as NSDecimalNumber. </p>
