How to convert string into float value in android [duplicate]

Answer 1

This will solve your issue:

String str=e1.getText().toString();
number = Float.parseFloat(str);

Answer 2

String s = e1.getText().toString();
Float f= Float.parseFloat(s);

Answer 3

Try this.

EditText edt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_float);
float number = Float.valueOf(edt.getText().toString());

You use the valueOf() method if the Float wrapper class to convert a string to a float. IN this example I get the Editable object of that EditText with getText() on which I call the toString() method to obtain a string from it.
