counterView.setFormatter(new Formatter() {
    @Override
    public String format(String prefix, String suffix, float value) {
    return prefix 
        + NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(Locale.US).format(value) 
        + suffix;
    }
});
counterView.setAutoStart(false);
counterView.setStartValue(200f);
counterView.setEndValue(1000f);
counterView.setIncrement(5f); // the amount the number increments at each time interval
counterView.setTimeInterval(2); // the time interval (ms) at which the text changes
counterView.setPrefix("You have ");
counterView.setSuffix(" points!");
counterView.start(); // you can start anytime if autostart is set to false
