How to set the number of decimal places of latitude and longitude of gps readings in android studio

  • 772

I am getting gps readings using these lines of code:

String mLatitud = String.valueOf(location.getLatitude());
String mLongitud = String.valueOf(location.getLongitude());

The problem is that in some occasions the amount of decimals varia de 6 a 15 decimales, I need that latitud tenga 6 decimalesand longitud 5 decimales.

How can I do that?

    You can use the class DecimalFormatto define the number of decimals:

    You define the format like this:

    DecimalFormat precisionLatitude = new DecimalFormat("0.000000"); //6 decimales
DecimalFormat precisionLongitude = new DecimalFormat("0.00000");  //5 decimales

    You apply the format:

    String mLatitud = String.valueOf(precisionLatitude.format(location.getLatitude()));
String mLongitud = String.valueOf(precisionLongitude.format(location.getLongitude()));
