下面是一个快速，简单和可读的代码片段来实现这一点:

注意:

上面的代码冗长而简单。 它不使用循环(循环应该只在您不知道在编译期间需要迭代多少次时使用) 它不会进行不必要的库调用(StringBuilder, Math等) 上面的代码是快速的，使用非常少的内存。基于在我个人的入门级云计算机上运行的基准测试，它是最快的(在这些情况下性能并不重要，但仍然如此) 以上代码是一个很好的答案的修改版本

我们可以完全避免使用缓慢的Math.pow()和Math.log()方法，而不会牺牲简单性，因为单位之间的因子(例如，B, KB, MB等)是1024，即2^10。Long类有一个方便的numberofleadingzero()方法，我们可以用它来告诉大小值落在哪个单元中。

重点:大小单位的距离为10位(1024 = 2^10)，这意味着最高位的位置-换句话说，前导零的数量-相差10(字节= KB*1024, KB = MB*1024，等等)。

前导零数与大小单位的相关性:

最终代码:

public static String formatSize(long v) {
    if (v < 1024) return v + " B";
    int z = (63 - Long.numberOfLeadingZeros(v)) / 10;
    return String.format("%.1f %sB", (double)v / (1L << (z*10)), " KMGTPE".charAt(z));
}

字节单位允许你这样做:

long input1 = 1024;
long input2 = 1024 * 1024;

Assert.assertEquals("1 KiB", BinaryByteUnit.format(input1));
Assert.assertEquals("1 MiB", BinaryByteUnit.format(input2));

Assert.assertEquals("1.024 KB", DecimalByteUnit.format(input1, "#.0"));
Assert.assertEquals("1.049 MB", DecimalByteUnit.format(input2, "#.000"));

NumberFormat format = new DecimalFormat("#.#");
Assert.assertEquals("1 KiB", BinaryByteUnit.format(input1, format));
Assert.assertEquals("1 MiB", BinaryByteUnit.format(input2, format));

我写了另一个叫做storage-units的库，它允许你这样做:

String formattedUnit1 = StorageUnits.formatAsCommonUnit(input1, "#");
String formattedUnit2 = StorageUnits.formatAsCommonUnit(input2, "#");
String formattedUnit3 = StorageUnits.formatAsBinaryUnit(input1);
String formattedUnit4 = StorageUnits.formatAsBinaryUnit(input2);
String formattedUnit5 = StorageUnits.formatAsDecimalUnit(input1, "#.00", Locale.GERMAN);
String formattedUnit6 = StorageUnits.formatAsDecimalUnit(input2, "#.00", Locale.GERMAN);
String formattedUnit7 = StorageUnits.formatAsBinaryUnit(input1, format);
String formattedUnit8 = StorageUnits.formatAsBinaryUnit(input2, format);

Assert.assertEquals("1 kB", formattedUnit1);
Assert.assertEquals("1 MB", formattedUnit2);
Assert.assertEquals("1.00 KiB", formattedUnit3);
Assert.assertEquals("1.00 MiB", formattedUnit4);
Assert.assertEquals("1,02 kB", formattedUnit5);
Assert.assertEquals("1,05 MB", formattedUnit6);
Assert.assertEquals("1 KiB", formattedUnit7);
Assert.assertEquals("1 MiB", formattedUnit8);

如果你想强制某个单位，可以这样做:

String formattedUnit9 = StorageUnits.formatAsKibibyte(input2);
String formattedUnit10 = StorageUnits.formatAsCommonMegabyte(input2);

Assert.assertEquals("1024.00 KiB", formattedUnit9);
Assert.assertEquals("1.00 MB", formattedUnit10);

        negative = "-";
        size = Math.abs(size);
    }

    if(size < limit) {
        return String.format("%s%s bytes", negative, size);
    } else {
        size = Math.round((double) size / 1024);
        if (size < limit2) {
            return String.format("%s%s kB", negative, size);
        } else {
            size = Math.round((double)size / 1024);
            if (size < limit2) {
                return String.format("%s%s MB", negative, size);
            } else {
                size = Math.round((double)size / 1024);
                if (size < limit2) {
                    return String.format("%s%s GB", negative, size);
                } else {
                    size = Math.round((double)size / 1024);
                        return String.format("%s%s TB", negative, size);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

这是aioobe答案的修改版本。

变化:

Locale参数，因为有些语言使用。其他的，作为小数点。 人类可读的代码

private static final String[] SI_UNITS = { "B", "kB", "MB", "GB", "TB", "PB", "EB" };
private static final String[] BINARY_UNITS = { "B", "KiB", "MiB", "GiB", "TiB", "PiB", "EiB" };

public static String humanReadableByteCount(final long bytes, final boolean useSIUnits, final Locale locale)
{
    final String[] units = useSIUnits ? SI_UNITS : BINARY_UNITS;
    final int base = useSIUnits ? 1000 : 1024;

    // When using the smallest unit no decimal point is needed, because it's the exact number.
    if (bytes < base) {
        return bytes + " " + units[0];
    }

    final int exponent = (int) (Math.log(bytes) / Math.log(base));
    final String unit = units[exponent];
    return String.format(locale, "%.1f %s", bytes / Math.pow(base, exponent), unit);
}
