How to Format a String or Put Mask with Totalcross

Question

I’m using it as follows, but it doesn’t work because of the compiler using things from javax.swing.text.Defaultformatter.

public string formatar(String text, String mask) throws ParseException {
    return new MaskFormatter(mask).valueToString(text);
}

I couldn’t find a solution in the available documentation

Answer 1

I found a solution, but I don’t know if it’s the best.

Using the mask of totalcross.ui.Edit itself, the method is as follows::

public string formatar(String text, String mask) {
    Edit edit = new Edit(mask);
    edit.setMode(Edit.NORMAL, true);
    edit.setText(text);
    return edit.getText();
}
