Converting String to Double in Android

Question

Trying to get double values from an EditText and manipulate them before passing them to another Intent. Not using primitive data type so I can use toString methods.

Answer 1

i have a similar problem. for correct formatting EditText text content to double value i use this code:

try {
        String eAm = etAmount.getText().toString();
        DecimalFormat dF = new DecimalFormat("0.00");
        Number num = dF.parse(eAm);
        mPayContext.amount = num.doubleValue();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        mPayContext.amount = 0.0d;
    }

this is independet from current phone locale and return correct double value.

hope it's help;
