Well all YouTube videos i saw shows this kind of preparedstatement...

I will go by oracle guidelines

Error Messages nothing show.
All relevent data is show in Textfields and tableview.

Its just that the Value shown in label is lie 2330.96 whereas i need to show it as 2,330.96 with thousands comma.

If your data is shown the statement isnt the prob. For the formatting this should do the trick:

You could use a pattern to format your number.

De poundsigns represent a nr. De comma is your seperator and the point your decimal sign. SO now you have every three nrs a seperator and two decimal points (there only 2 pound signs at the end)
Note : that you will have to parse your String to a long before formatting. Dont forget the L on the end
Sorry if the explenation isn't that clear, but I don't really know how to explain in english

Please always copy'n'paste your code; you have introduced two compiler errors into line 2, but I am 99% sure they weren't in the original.
I can see other errors in that code: why are you storing numbers as Strings in your database? Surely you would store money as a DECIMAL(8, 2) or similar; that will allow any amount < £$₹€₽¥1000000, I think. Then you get the result from the result set as a BigDecimal (I think).
Then I am not sure whether you are using formatters or decimal format. When Formatter was introduced in 2004, I was told that it is no longer necessary to use decimal format and similar, and I have believed that. So what I would do is thisThe comma means to use the thousands separator appropriate to that Locale, and .2f means to format it as a fixed‑point (decimal) number with two digits after the decimal point. If you look up String#format(), you will find that the Locale is optional because the method is overloaded.

[edit]Correct spelling errors and add “String.format(...)”.

Sorry I pointed out that you have a typo on line 2 and sugested how to parse properly or use valueOf, but since I afterwards saw C.R.'s answer I removed it

Ignoring the typos for the moment, this is assuming you are getting a long value from the 1st column in your ResultSet.

The error, however, shows this:
Caused by: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "2335.0"
at java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string(NumberFormatException.java:65)
at java.lang.Long.parseLong(Long.java:589)
at java.lang.Long.parseLong(Long.java:631)

This has nothing to do with the DecimalFormat, as your code doesn't even get to the line where that is used.

It is failing because the value in the column is 2335.0, which is not a valid long.

And Campbell is quite correct, why on earth is your database storing numbers as a String?

Thanks you Very Much Daniel Demesmaecker and Campbell Ritchie

Thanks for your Time and Support,

Got it working



and the output was 2,335.00

The Database i am using is SQLite

Thanks again Daniel Demesmaecker and Campbell Ritchie

Great Help

Why do you think he's suppose to get a long? He's getting a String and trying to parse it to a long.

And Campbell is quite correct, why on earth is your database storing numbers as a String?


I also often store a number as a String, as long you don't have to do calculations with it, what does it mather?

It's because he's parsing it as a long that means he needs a long to start with.
That's the error.
That String does not contain a long...it's a float of some description.

It's a number, so it should be treated as such, otherwise you get these problems.
There should be no need to parse a number retrieved from the database.

It's the same problem as storing DATEs as VARCHAR, or phone numbers as NUMBER when they're VARCHARs.
Store the data as the type it represents then you don't have to jump through hoops later on to actually use it.

In addition, you also get the correct ordering for the column if it's a NUMBER.

He dosn't start with a long, he start with a string, it should just be parseable to a long, but it always be a String

All these examples you've given you should be able to do some calculations on it.
If you don't need to do calculations on it, there isn't a need to parse it eather.
I wasn't saying he should store at as a string in this case, but a housenr in an address for example, what does it mather if it's a number or a String
A date I wouldn't store as varchar eather, but once again, you should be able to do calculation on a date (add days or whatever)
Like a said before if you don't have to do calculations on it, it dosn't mather

But the String is a double, the value was (as the error shows) 2335.0, which the parse method cannot parse as a long, due to the decimal point.
That's why I am saying that the value he is working with is not a long, anymore than 2335.1 would be a long.

A house number is a String because 5A is a valid house (or flat) number.
The same way a phone number is a String.

ETA: I know what you mean (hence my mentioning phone numbers), but in this case this is clearly a number...even the OP knows that as he is turning it into a long.

Thanks for the explanation
The database i am using is SQLite
Which has very few data types. I have select Numeric for the column Price

If you don't do calculations, then it isn't a number. A house number, a national insurance/social security number, or a phone number are not numbers in that sense, as Dave has already said; you don't do any arithmetic with them. But storing genuine numbers as Strings is often wasteful in memory because Strings occupy more space, and error‑prone because you can't be sure that you have stored the correct format for a number. Also, you have the overhead of encoding the number as a String and decoding it later with the parseXXX method.

[pedantic mode]You mean the String is the text representation of a double, as opposed to the text representation of a long.[/pedantic mode]

My client needs a portable application, thats why i choosed SQLite. Or else i started project with MySql.

Thats the reason...

Anyway i have learnt a lot from this post n above experts

Thanks alot.

Did you say integer

SQlite has datatype Int. Should change from Numeric to Integer and see, how things don't get worse.

No, I said INTEGER, which is what the link I posted earlier said. As Dave has told you, you will be storing the data in cents/pence etc and will need % 100 and / 100 to convert it. Maybe there are different names for integers, like INT, LONG_INT etc.
