Question

So I have a simple Edit-text with number input.
User enters his phone number and it is saved into DB obviously that is the goal.
now every time i do

int contactNumber=Integer.parseInt(mContactNumber.getText().toString());

I get an error thrown saying NumberFormatException for some reason it doesn’t like a string of number. I have made sure that mContactNumber field in the android input field has the

android:input="number"

now i also tried just to be sure

int contactNumber=Integer.parseInt(mContactNumber.getText().toString().trim());

still the same error

Guys any ideas?

Answer 1

Try putting the Type to ‘ long ‘ instead of ‘ int ‘. Hope that will work for you.
