Format Money Thousand Separator
Hi, good day! I have an inquiry about the formatter for Text Mask Input. All of the mask are working aside from the Money Format. I can't find a way to format money input. I want something to look like this:
1 12 123 1,234 12,345 123,456 1,234,567 12,345,678 123,456,789
Can you help me out about this issue? Please see attached picture below. Thank you so much in advance!
Hey @SyntaxError001! Thanks for your question.
As a temporary solution you may try to use our ReversedMaskTextChangedListener with a [000] [000] [000] mask — though, the class is highly unstable. I didn't even mention it in the main README.
I know this is an extremely popular scenario, so I'm working on a solution to cover this case, too. My plans include issuing an update this week, so please stay tuned.
@taflanidi Any other features we could look into to implement this functionality?
Please consider reading about RTL masks.
Also keep an eye on our changelog. While the work is still in progress — we haven't figured out digit grouping for decimal sums of money yet — the solution is already close.
In theory, the essential part for this functionality to work properly is a special affinity calculation strategy allowing to effectively switch between these two formats in RTL mode:
[000] [000] [000] EUR
[000] [000] [000]{,}[00] EUR
