Android Integers being rounded? Need complete accuracy.

[Pamela Howard]

I'm working with coordinates. They return perfectly, but when converted to a string they are rounded to 2 decimal places instead of the 6 that were returned. This is very close to my house but not close enough. the NN.nnnnnn that returned was on my house, in the correct room. NN.nn is up a hill 3 blocks away. I can't give out my co-ords for safety and privacy reasons but I'd like some advice on how to solve this.

Hi and welcome to the GMC!

I think you'll be interested to learn about the string_format function (and the string_replace_all function).

Hello, if you've read the manual it clearly says :
"With this function you can turn any real number into a string. If the real number is an integer, it will be saved with no decimal places, otherwise, it will be saved with two decimal places."
in the description of string(val) function,
you should use
string_format(val, tot, dec);
look it up in the manual, i'm pretty sure you'll understand how it works
