Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Currency	fromCurrencyCode(String aCurrencyCode) Gets the Currency instance for a given ISO 4217 Currency Code.
Currency	fromLocale(Locale aLocale) Gets the Currency instance for a given locale.

Method Detail

fromLocale

Currency fromLocale(Locale aLocale)

Gets the Currency instance for a given locale.

Important Country Note! A Locale without a country can never have a Currency! This method will always return null for such Locale.

Tip! LocaleUtil.resolveCountryLocale(Locale) might be helpful in order to compensate for language-only locales.

This method is conceptually equivalent with the java.util.Currency.getInstance(Locale) method.

Parameters:

aLocale - the Locale

Returns:

the Currency for aLocale, or null if aLocale is null or no Currency can be determined for aLocale

LocaleUtil.resolveCountryLocale(Locale)

Currency codes are specified with a three-letter alphabetic code specified by ISO 4217

Common currencies

Currency name	Currency code
US Dollar	USD
Euro	EUR
Brittish Pound	GBP
Swedish Krona	SEK
Norwegian Krone	NOK

This method is conceptually equivalent with the java.util.Currency.getInstance(String) method.

Parameters:

aCurrencyCode - a ISO 4217 currency code

Returns:

a Currency for aCurrencyCode, or null if aCurrencyCode is null or invalid
