Hey Guys, I have string which is coming from server.
```val string = "2.2"```
I want to show in textview like `2.2` . But if my string is `2.00` it will show `2` in my textview. How can I do this in kotlin efficient way?

Two options: Format with kotlin or format with android strings.xml

If you plan on supporting multiple languages, consider using Android strings.xml

Convert it to double and use a `NumberFormat` for this. You can do something like this if you have a locale. _Remember to check for empty and non numeric values in your string when converting to double._
```NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale("en", "US"))
        .format(yourStringInDouble).replace(".00", "")```

Yep! Abinet’s is the way to go if you do it via Kotlin. Make sure to use the user device’s locale though, and not hardcode it to english.

<@U0232TDAA02> what do you mean by `not harcode it to english` ?

Don’t use `Locale("en", "US")`, use the Locale of the device

The above example uses `Locale("en", "US")`

This hardcodes the number formatting to english

With locale set to device, locales using `,`  for decimals would show `2,00`.
