You use a distance formatter when you need to display distances to the user or when you want to parse user-specified text to obtain a numerical value for a distance. When formatting strings containing distances, a distance formatter object takes into account the user’s locale and language settings. You can also specify a custom locale or custom units for any distances that you format.

Units

Constant Value Description
UnitsDefault 0 The format uses the locale information to determine which units to use. Some locales mix metric and imperial units so do not assume this means one or the other.
UnitsImperial 2 The format uses imperial units.
UnitsImperialWithYards 3 The format uses imperial units that include measurements in yards.
UnitsMetric 1 The format uses metric units.

Util Styles

Constant Value Description
UnitStyleAbbreviated 1 Use abbreviated units. For example, use the abbreviation km instead of kilometer.
UnitStyleDefault 0 The decision to abbreviate is based on the current locale and user language settings.
UnitStyleFull 2 Spell out units in full. For example, use kilometer instead of the abbreviation km.
