Remove grouping separator from a decimal number in Android

I have a decimal number that was formatted using DecimalFormat. When It was formatted I use decimal.setGroupingUsed(true) because I needed.

Now I need to do the reverse method, that is, I have a number with integer decimals grouped like this 3,200.95 and I want to obtain 3200.95 (remove grouping symbol).

I do not want to replace "," with "" as grouping symbol depends on the country. Some countries it is "." and some others "," so I have tried to use DecimalFormat by setting grouping to false:

decimal.setGroupingUsed(false)

but then I do not know how to proceed. Any ideas?

You actually want setGroupingUsed to be true, since you expect those symbols to be in the string you're parsing. You'll use the parse method to turn that String into a Number.
