MAFAddressFormatter

Phone number formatting is handled as part of address formatting, as the metadata for both types of formatting is in one common XML descriptor file. To get a reference and initialize the MAFAddressFormatter, use this code:

	private MAFAddressFormatter formatter = null;
	formatter = MAFAddressFormatter.getInstance(this);
	formatter.initWithSAPXML();

This is a code snippet from country_formats.xml. Use this format to add your country to the XML configuration file, if it does not contain your country:

	<!-- United States -->
	<format country="us">

		<addresses>
			<address format="HOUSE_NO STREET\nLOCATION\nCITY REGION POSTL_COD1\nCOUNTRY" />
		</addresses>

		<addressfields>
			<line>
				<field id="HOUSE_NO" keyboard="NUMERIC" width="35%" label="{No.}" />
				<field id="STREET" width="65%" label="{STREET}" />
			</line>
			<line>
				<field id="LOCATION" label="{STREET} 4" />
			</line>
			<line>
				<field id="CITY" label="{CITY}" />
				<field id="REGION" keyboard="ALLCAPS" label="{State}" />
			</line>
			<line>
				<field id="POSTL_COD1" keyboard="NUMERIC" label="{ZIP}" />
				<field id="COUNTRY" label="{COUNTRY}" />
			</line>
		</addressfields>

		<phonenumbers internationalprefix="1" outboundcode="011">
			<phonenumber format="(xxx) xxx-xxxx" />
			<phonenumber format="(415) xxx-xxxx" />
			<phonenumber format="(xxx) xxx-xx8x" />
		</phonenumbers>

	</format>

You can also use your own country_formats.xml. To set it, use:

InputStream iStream = activity.getResources().openRawResource(
					R.raw.countryformats_patch);
	formatter.initWithCustomXML(iStream);
