How do I return an int from EditText? (Android)
Basically, I want an EditText in Android where I can have an integer value entered into. Perhaps there is a more appropriate object than EditText for this?
Solution 1:
For now, use an EditText
. Use android:inputType="number"
to force it to be numeric. Convert the resulting string into an integer (e.g., Integer.parseInt(myEditText.getText().toString())
).
In the future, you might consider a NumberPicker
widget, once that becomes available (slated to be in Honeycomb).
Solution 2:
Set the digits attribute to true, which will cause it to only allow number inputs.
Then do Integer.valueOf(editText.getText())
to get an int value out.
Solution 3:
First of all get a string from an EDITTEXT and then convert this string into integer like
String no=myTxt.getText().toString(); //this will get a string
int no2=Integer.parseInt(no); //this will get a no from the string
