Remarks

Property getter documentation:

<strong>Affixes:</strong> Gets the negative prefix string currently being used to format numbers.

If the affix was specified via the pattern, the string returned by this method will have locale symbols substituted in place of special characters according to the LDML specification. If the affix was specified via #setNegativePrefix, the string will be returned literally.

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

Property setter documentation:

<strong>Affixes:</strong> Sets the string to prepend to negative numbers. For example, if you set the value "#", then the number -123 will be formatted as "#123" in the locale <em>en-US</em> (overriding the implicit default '-' in the pattern).

Using this method overrides the affix specified via the pattern, and unlike the pattern, the string given to this method will be interpreted literally WITHOUT locale symbol substitutions.
