Question

I need to convert my CMS data (which are provided as Strings) to float value, but I am getting exception

NumberFormatException: invalid float value: "16.385837"

The code looks like:

Double.valueOf(myString.trim()).doubleValue();

I’ve also tried like this:

Double.parseDouble(myString).doubleValue();

but i’m getting the same message. Do you have any idea what is wrong ?!

Answer 1

try {
  String s = "16.385837";
  Double d = Double.parseDouble(s); 
  System.out.println(d);// which will prints 16.385837
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
  // p did not contain a valid double
}
