Benedikt Ritter commented on LANG-1109:
---------------------------------------

[~djmj] can you please give some example inputs and outputs or even better a JUnit test for this functionality?

> Java built-in number formatter does formats Number locale aware with fractional digits defined by the defined scale of the Number, aswell the required precision (trims trailing zeros).
> For some reason Java's built-in percentage number formatter does not formats fractional digits. So i wrote a function which has same behavior as the Java built-in number formatter but with percentage formatting.
> {code:java}
> 	/**
> 	 * Formats the given Number as percentage with necessary precision.
> 	 * This serves as a workaround for {@link NumberFormat#getPercentInstance()} which does not renders fractional
> 	 * digits.
> 	 *
> 	 * @param number
> 	 * @param locale
> 	 *
> 	 * @return
> 	 */
> 	public static String formatPercentFraction(final Number number, final Locale locale)
> 	{
> 		if (number == null)
> 			return null;
> 		// get string representation with dot
> 		final String strNumber = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(Locale.US).format(number.doubleValue());
> 		// create exact BigDecimal and convert to get scale
> 		final BigDecimal dNumber = new BigDecimal(strNumber).multiply(new BigDecimal(100));
> 		final NumberFormat percentScaleFormat = NumberFormat.getPercentInstance(locale);
> 		percentScaleFormat.setMaximumFractionDigits(Math.max(0, dNumber.scale()));
> 		// convert back for locale percent formatter
> 		return percentScaleFormat.format(dNumber.multiply(new BigDecimal(0.01)));
> 	}
> {code}
> I also unit tested it with many inputs.
