How to get result from string.format() with . and not with ,?

Question

It returns me 1014,66 but i want it returning 1014.66 . Any suggestions?

           double money = 1000;
           double last = money * 1 * 1.04166;
           String gift = String.format("%1$,.2f",last);

Have you considered using `DecimalFormat` directly instead of `String.format`? — Jon Skeet, Mar 20 '15 at 14:55
In this case the 1$ is a bit redundant as thee is only one argument. — vandale, Mar 20 '15 at 14:58

Use the version of the String.format method that takes a Locale, and specify a locale that has a dot for decimal separator instead of a comma. For example, the US locale:

String gift = String.format(Locale.US, "%1$,.2f", last);

And change the pattern to `"%1$.2f"` if you want `1041.66` rather than `1,041.66`. – Duncan Jones Mar 20 '15 at 14:57

You can use this code

 double money=1014.66;
 String str_money=String.valueOf(money);
 str.replace(',','.');
 return str;
