Converting a String that contains decimal to Long

Question

I have following sample (link to ideone).

long lDurationMillis =  0;
lDurationMillis = Long.parseLong(\"30000.1\");
System.out.print(\"Play Duration:\" + lD         


        

Answer 1

The value 30000.1 is an invalid long value. You could parse the double value first:

lDurationMillis = (long)Double.parseDouble("30000.1");
