p = 4 // decimal places
float x1 = -0.3059915
float x2 = (int)(x1*10^p)/10^p // ^ = pseudo for Math.pow() (or whatever it
is)

Maybe there is an easier way, but here goes

import java.text.DecimalFormat;
class FormatThis2{
public static void main(String[]args) {
float X =-0.3059915f;
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("0.0000");
System.out.println(df.format(X)); // - 0.3060
DecimalFormat dfloor = new DecimalFormat("0.00000");
float Y =-0.3059915f;
String result = dfloor.format(Y);
result = result.substring(0,result.length() - 1);
double dbl = Double.parseDouble(result);
System.out.println("heloo " + dbl);
}
}


floor vs round double dbl = Double.parseDouble(result);

Peace, have a good day.
