Question

I know how to save string from EditTexts on android but my problem is: I need to save the number of hours someone worked…
This is a section of the code I have done… There is an error on the toInt method.

try {
    SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, 0);
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
    editor.putInt("Hours",edit_hours.getText().toInt());
    editor.commit();

    trying_to_save.setText("SAVED!");
}
catch (Exception e) {
    trying_to_save.setText("I crashed");
}

Could you help me with my problem?
Thanks Michael!

Answer 1

Okay I’m not aware there is a toInt() method in Android?

Try this:

editor.putInt("Hours",Integer.parseInt(edit_hours.getText().toString()));
