Question

Hello Friends I am using the following code to show the amount entered in form of currency.

public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
            if(!s.toString().matches("^\\$(\\d{1,3}(\\,\\d{3})*|(\\d+))(\\.\\d{2})?$"))
            {
                String userInput= ""+s.toString().replaceAll("[^\\d]", "");
                StringBuilder cashAmountBuilder = new StringBuilder(userInput);

                while (cashAmountBuilder.length() > 3 && cashAmountBuilder.charAt(0) == '0') {
                    cashAmountBuilder.deleteCharAt(0);
                }
                while (cashAmountBuilder.length() < 3) {
                    cashAmountBuilder.insert(0, '0');
                }
                cashAmountBuilder.insert(cashAmountBuilder.length()-2, '.');
                cashAmountBuilder.insert(0, '$');


                editAmount.setText(cashAmountBuilder.toString());
                editAmount.setTextKeepState(cashAmountBuilder.toString());
                Selection.setSelection(editAmount.getText(), cashAmountBuilder.toString().length());
            }
        }

The issue the symbol has been prefixed with “$” I either want that to be replaced by new INR symbol or blank. I have tried replacing cashAmountBuilder.insert(0, '$'); patch of code with blank it gives me compiler error.Please help me in same.
Thanks,

Guys found the solution for this one.Would like to share the same with you all.

editAmount=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editTextPaymentAmount);
        mlocListener = new MyLocationListener();
        mlocManager.requestLocationUpdates( LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, mlocListener);
        editAmount.setRawInputType(Configuration.KEYBOARD_12KEY);
        editAmount.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher(){
                public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

                }
                public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after){}
                public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
                    if(!s.toString().equals(current)){
                        editAmount.removeTextChangedListener((TextWatcher) this);
                //   String replaceable = String.format("[%s,.]", NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance().getCurrency().getSymbol()); 
                 //      String cleanString = s.toString().replaceAll(replaceable, "");
                   String cleanString = s.toString().replaceAll("[$,.]", "");
                 //  String cleanString = s.toString().  replaceAll("[^\\d]", "");
                       BigDecimal parsed = new BigDecimal(cleanString).setScale(2,BigDecimal.ROUND_FLOOR).divide(new BigDecimal(100),BigDecimal.ROUND_FLOOR);                
                       String formato = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance().format(parsed);
    System.out.println(formato);
                       current = formato;
                       String newSt=formato.substring(1);

                       editAmount.setText(newSt);
                       editAmount.setSelection(newSt.length());

                       editAmount.addTextChangedListener((TextWatcher) this);
                    }
                }
            }); 
    }

public void priceClick(View view) {
        editAmount.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher(){
            DecimalFormat dec = new DecimalFormat("0.00");
            private String current = "";
            public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
            }

            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start,
                    int count, int after) {
            }

            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
                if(!s.toString().equals(current)){
                    editAmount.removeTextChangedListener((TextWatcher) this);

                   String cleanString = s.toString().replaceAll("[$,.]", "");

                   BigDecimal parsed = new BigDecimal(cleanString).setScale(2,BigDecimal.ROUND_FLOOR).divide(new BigDecimal(100),BigDecimal.ROUND_FLOOR);                
                   String formato = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance().format(parsed);

                   current = formato;
                   editAmount.setText(formato);
                   editAmount.setSelection(formato.length());

                   editAmount.addTextChangedListener((TextWatcher) this);
                }
            }
        });
    }
