Proper number format not coming for spanish

Question

I am using code below to generate a number for spanish as €1.000.000,00 but I am getting €1,000,000.00. I am using es_ES as locale ID.

NSNumberFormatter *frm=[[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
    [frm setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterDecimalStyle];

    NSLocale *locale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"es_ES"];
    [frm setLocale: locale];
    NSString *symbol = [locale objectForKey:NSLocaleCurrencySymbol];
    [frm setCurrencySymbol:[locale objectForKey:NSLocaleCurrencySymbol]];
    NSString *formattedAmt= [frm stringFromNumber:[NSNumber numberWithDouble:[amount doubleValue]]];

Does anyone know why I am not getting proper format?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You have to set NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle instead of NSNumberFormatterDecimalStyle and CurrencySymbol to Empty to remove the symbol of Currency.

Working Code :

NSNumberFormatter *currencyFormatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[currencyFormatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
[currencyFormatter setCurrencySymbol:@""];
[currencyFormatter setLocale:[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"es_ES"]];
NSLog(@"Final Value :: %@", [currencyFormatter stringFromNumber:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:1000000]]);

Output (As you want without Currency Symbol) :

Final Value :: 1.000.000,00
