Ticking of "$" and "." in currency string

[hiteshsahu]

While testing ticker for simple incremental values using below code snippet,

 float totalBill= 0;

    public void onUpdate() {
        final String currencyFloat = Float.toString((++totalBill) * 100);
        tickerView.setText("$" + currencyFloat.substring(0, Math.min(digits, currencyFloat.length())));
    }

I found that $ and . are also ticking along with changed digit. Ticker should avoid ticking nondigital characters.

This is currently working as intended. However, the algorithm to compute how to change from one text to another should try to preserve as much of the original text as possible so the leading $ symbol should never change.

Hi @hiteshsahu

Just had the same problem while using the library but solved it by changing the character list given :)

You need to set instead of this code

tickerView.setCharacterList(TickerUtils.getDefaultNumberList());

this new code

tickerView.setCharacterList(TickerUtils.getDefaultListForUSCurrency());

and the $ and . characters won't tick :)
