I am getting java.lang.numberformatexception invalid double: "" error in logcat anyone please help


The reason is, that "" is not a valid double. You need to test the String before or catch such exceptions

double w;

try {
    w = new Double(input3.getText().toString());
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
    w = 0; // your default value
}

The value of the double depends on the language of the device.For example, for devices in french the number 0.179927 becomes 0,179927 which will always throw a NumberFormatException when parsing it to double because of the comma.

You need to change the separator from a comma to a point. You can change the separator either by setting a locale or using the DecimalFormatSymbols.

If you want the grouping separator to be a point, you can use a european locale:

NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(Locale.GERMAN);
DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat)nf;

Alternatively you can use the DecimalFormatSymbols class to change the symbols that appear in the formatted numbers produced by the format method. These symbols include the decimal separator, the grouping separator, the minus sign, and the percent sign, among others:

DecimalFormatSymbols otherSymbols = new DecimalFormatSymbols(currentLocale);
otherSymbols.setDecimalSeparator(',');
otherSymbols.setGroupingSeparator('.'); 
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat(formatString, otherSymbols);
