Question

I tried the following code to format phone number in android:-

public static String formatPhoneNumber(String number){

        return PhoneNumberUtils.formatNumber(number);
    }

I am passing “19253951646” to the function..
It returns the text in the format 1-925-395-1646.
I want the result in the format 1(925)395-1646.
Any help would be highly apprciated.

Answer 1

Wrote my own function to format the number.

public static String formatPhoneNumber(String number){  
        number  =   number.substring(0, number.length()-4) + "-" + number.substring(number.length()-4, number.length());
        number  =   number.substring(0,number.length()-8)+")"+number.substring(number.length()-8,number.length());
        number  =   number.substring(0, number.length()-12)+"("+number.substring(number.length()-12, number.length());
        return number;
    }
