I need to to show decimal places of a float value only when it is different from zeros.

  1. 5.0 should be shown as 5.
  2. 7.3 should be shown as 7.3.
  3. 9.000003 should be shown as 9.000003.

How to format in this way using regex or DecimalFormat?

To display decimals the way you desire, use the following snippet:

// This is to show symbol . instead of , DecimalFormatSymbols otherSymbols = new DecimalFormatSymbols(Locale.US); // Define the maximum number of decimals (number of symbols #) DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.##########", otherSymbols); // type: double System.out.println(df.format(5.0)); // writes 5 System.out.println(df.format(7.3)); // writes 7.3 System.out.println(df.format(9.000003)); // writes 9.000003 // type: float System.out.println(df.format(9.000003f)); // writes 9.000002861
