I want to pass a date as string to a web service. When I get the date in devices that use Persian, localized digits are Persian and the server can't convert this string to DateTime. So I need to convert all digits to English.
The date I receive in devices with a Persian locale:
"۲۰۲۰/۰۸/۲۱"
And these are Persian (Farsi) digits:
(۰ -> 0) (۱ -> 1) (۲ -> 2) (۳ -> 3) (۴ -> 4) (۵ -> 5) (۶ -> 6) (۷-> 7) (۸ -> 8) (۹ -> 9)
I need a function in Kotlin to perform this.
Finally bellow function solved my problem:
fun PersianToEnglish(persianStr: String):String {
var result = ""
var en = '0'
for (ch in persianStr) {
en = ch
when (ch) {
'۰' -> en = '0'
'۱' -> en = '1'
'۲' -> en = '2'
'۳' -> en = '3'
'۴' -> en = '4'
'۵' -> en = '5'
'۶' -> en = '6'
'۷' -> en = '7'
'۸' -> en = '8'
'۹' -> en = '9'
}
result = "${result}$en"
}
return result
}
