formatFileSize

Added in API level 3
static fun formatFileSize(
    context: Context?,
    sizeBytes: Long
): String!

Formats a content size to be in the form of bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, etc.

As of O, the prefixes are used in their standard meanings in the SI system, so kB = 1000 bytes, MB = 1,000,000 bytes, etc.

In android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#N and earlier, powers of 1024 are used instead, with KB = 1024 bytes, MB = 1,048,576 bytes, etc.

If the context has a right-to-left locale, the returned string is wrapped in bidi formatting characters to make sure it's displayed correctly if inserted inside a right-to-left string. (This is useful in cases where the unit strings, like "MB", are left-to-right, but the locale is right-to-left.)

Parameters
context Context?: Context to use to load the localized units This value may be null.
sizeBytes Long: size value to be formatted, in bytes
Return
String! formatted string with the number

formatIpAddress

Added in API level 3
Deprecated in API level 15
static fun formatIpAddress(ipv4Address: Int): String!

Deprecated: Use java.net.InetAddress#getHostAddress(), which supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. This method does not support IPv6 addresses.

Returns a string in the canonical IPv4 format ###.###.###.### from a packed integer containing the IP address. The IPv4 address is expected to be in little-endian format (LSB first). That is, 0x01020304 will return "4.3.2.1".

formatShortFileSize

Added in API level 5
static fun formatShortFileSize(
    context: Context?,
    sizeBytes: Long
): String!

Like formatFileSize, but trying to generate shorter numbers (showing fewer digits of precision).

Parameters
context Context?: This value may be null.
