Invalid double in converting String to Double

Question

i get a NumberFormatException : invalid double \"111,000,000\" in this line of code :

double SalePotential = Double.valueOf(EtPotential.getText().toString());
<         


        

Answer 1

Use replace function to replace all occurences of ,

     String  s= EtPotential.getText().toString();
     s = s.replace(",", ""); 
     try
     {
       double SalePotential = Double.parseDouble(s);
     }catch(NumberFormatException e)
     {
         e.printStackTrace();
     }

Answer 2

Remove "," before parsing

double SalePotential = Double.parseDouble(EtPotential.getText().toString().replace(",", ""));

---

Update : With proper implementation

double salePotential = 0; // Variable name should start with small letter 
try {
    salePotential = Double.parseDouble(EtPotential.getText().toString().replace(",", ""));
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
    // EditText EtPotential does not contain a valid double
}

Happy coding :)
