ScientificNumberFormatter

public final class ScientificNumberFormatter
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.icu.text.ScientificNumberFormatter


A formatter that formats numbers in user-friendly scientific notation. ScientificNumberFormatter instances are immutable and thread-safe. Sample code:

 ULocale en = new ULocale("en");
 ScientificNumberFormatter fmt = ScientificNumberFormatter.getMarkupInstance(
         en, "<sup>", "</sup>");
 
 // Output: "1.23456×10<sup>-78</sup>"
 System.out.println(fmt.format(1.23456e-78));
