i need to read the values from a file(.csv) ,which contains both positive and negative values.. i am getting an error while converting string to integer. 

    Scanner sc = new Scanner(getAssets().open("Book1.csv")).useDelimiter(",");
    int i = 0;
    while (sc.hasNext()) {
        String str  = sc.next();
        data[i] = new GraphViewData(i, Integer.parseInt(str));
        i++;

    To convert negative values in strings to Integer you can use Integer.parseInt as you show in your code.

    I don’t think the error you are seeing is to do with the minus sign – it’s ok to pass a string that starts with an ASCII minus sign (see http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Integer.html#parseInt(java.lang.String))

    BTW – are you trying to convert to Integer or Double? your question title mentions Double (Double.parseDouble also accepts the sign)
