Question

I am trying to compare a double value to another double value inside of a TreeMap object. I am getting the following error at the line where I am comparing myPowerAvg to myMap.get(myMap.get(2)). I’m not sure why I’m getting this error as I’m comparing two doubles (btw, this method is executed within a thread).

code:

  if(myPowerAvg < myMap.get(myMap.firstKey())){
        TextView view = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.firstPlace);     
    }else{
        TextView view = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.firstPlace);
        view.setText("First Place: \n" + myMap.firstKey() + " " + 
            " at " + myMap.get(myMap.firstKey()) );
    }

    if(myPowerAvg < myMap.get(myMap.get(2)) &&  myPowerAvg > myMap.get(myMap.firstKey())){
        TextView view = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.secondPlace);
        view.setText("Second Place: \n" + AppStatus.mUserName + " " +

    if(myPowerAvg < myMap.get(myMap.get(2)) &&  myPowerAvg > myMap.get(myMap.firstKey())){

You say myMap is a TreeMap<String, Double> – but you’re calling myMap.get(2). The param to get should be a string.
