Property getter documentation:

<strong>[icu]</strong> Returns whether the sign is being shown on positive numbers.

Java documentation for android.icu.text.DecimalFormat.isSignAlwaysShown().

Property setter documentation:

Sets whether to always shown the plus sign ('+' in <em>en</em>) on positive numbers. The rules in UTS #35 section 3.2.1 will be followed to ensure a locale-aware placement of the sign.

More specifically, the following strategy will be used to place the plus sign:

<ol> <li><em>Patterns without a negative subpattern:</em> The locale's plus sign will be prepended to the positive prefix. <li><em>Patterns with a negative subpattern without a '-' sign (e.g., accounting):</em> The locale's plus sign will be prepended to the positive prefix, as in case 1. <li><em>Patterns with a negative subpattern that has a '-' sign:</em> The locale's plus sign will substitute the '-' in the negative subpattern. The positive subpattern will be unused. </ol>

This method is designed to be used <em>instead of</em> applying a pattern containing an explicit plus sign, such as "+0;-0". The behavior when combining this method with explicit plus signs in the pattern is undefined.
