int to decimal or string to decimal

[Former Member]

Hi, I have a problem which I cant solve. Ive got string downloaded from database, 10 characters long, I "cut" it and I want to display it in 3 different inputfields which are of type Decimal and this is where I stopped...

My question is, how can I transform

string to decimal

integer to decimal

Numbers are small, not decimal at all: 1900-2008, 00-31, 00-12, but I used it couse it didnt provide 0 in inputfield as other types did, it was empty as I wanted it to be. Any idea how to solve this?

Hi Fedor,

You can only convert the numeric sting to decimal.

i.e. if your String is "12345" then you can convert it to decimal.

If your String is "1-2-3" then you cannot convert it to decimal it will throw NumberFormatException.

Here is the example to convert the string to decimal

String strTemp = "12345";

BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(Integer.parseInt(strTemp));

Now you can assign this bd value to decimal input field

For integer to decimal:

int iTemp = 12345;

BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(Integer.parseInt(iTemp));

You can use substring function of string to cut the string into number of pieces.

Hope this will help you

Thanks

string to decimal

String a = "1234";

double dbl = new Double(a).doubleValue();

integer to decimal

int x=123;

double dbl = new Double(x).doubleValue();

Hi ,

use the below code for conversion

To convert from String to Integer

String s = "0000";

int i = Integer.parseInt(s);

Integer to String

int j = 5;

String a = j+"";

Thanks,
