[android-developers] using java decimal formatter outside USA

Hello All,

I am running into an issue with some of my European users. To
demonstrate the issue I isolated the following three lines of code:

float gb = 0;
DecimalFormat dfm = new DecimalFormat( "#,###,###,##0.0" );
float mTotalRamInstalled = (float) new
Float(dfm.format(gb)).floatValue();

I am trying to get 0.0 as my output (in this case--its actually part
of a function where gb is passed in).

When I set the emulator language to English (USA) it works fine. But
several other countries, for example Deutsch (Schweiz), the
application blows up with number format exception. Can anyone give
me some pointers as to what is happening and how I should be handling
this as obviously I am doing it wrong.

Thanks!
