Question

I have a problem but I don’t know how to solve it:
I need to get a Long number from a String (I get this string in a SAXparser class I wrote to get some fields from an XML file).

Here you are the problematic code:

if (bprice) {
String price = new String(ch, start, length);
System.out.println("Product price: " + price);
bprice = false;
if (price.equalsIgnoreCase("0"))
product.price = null;
else product.price = Long.parseLong(price);
}

(product is an instance from an object where I store all the product information. I got the error in the last line)

I debugged it and I got this:

Answer 1

1.04 is not a valid long. It is in double format.

You need to use Double.parseDouble(String); instead.

Example:

Double.parseDouble(precio1);
