Question

I need to set a button text with two decimal places. The value source is double that come like 1.0, 5.0, 10.0 or 100.0 and the string format below convert it to have two decimal places, So it is working.

            b = new Button(context);
            String stringdouble = String.format("%.2f", 1.0);

            b.setText(stringdouble);

However, even on debug mode the variable “stringdouble” be “1.00” or “5.00” or “10.00” or “100.00”,
on the button they are displayed like “1.0”, “5.0”, “10.”, “100”.

Does anybody know why it happens??

thank you

You are using fixed width for your button. Set the button width to wrap_content
