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

You can do NumberFormat handling as below :

long lDurationMillis =  0;
        try{
            NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance();
            lDurationMillis = nf.parse("30000.1").longValue();
            System.out.print("Play Duration:" + lDurationMillis);
        }catch(ParseException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Output:

Play Duration:30000
