Math with an integer obtained from an EditText

Question

I don't know what I am doing wrong but I have an edittext called input, where the user writes a number, then you press a button:

input = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.input);

    XX= (Button) findViewById(R.id.XX);
    XX.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {

            if(XX.equals("XX"))
            {


                String aa= String.valueOf(input) ;
                float operation= ((float) ( 0.029 * 2.2 *aa ) );
                String cadena= String.valueOf(operation) ;

// set text to cadena (result of the operation)
                predic = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.predic);
                predic.setText(cadena);

            }

the problem is that I can't perform this operation

float operation= ((float) ( 0.029 * 2.2 *aa ) );

because it underlines "aa" and says

"Operator '*'cannot be applied to 'double', 'java.lang.String' "

I suppose that he thinks that aa is an String, how can I make it to be read as an Int?

Answer 1

You need to change:

 String aa= String.valueOf(input) ;

To

Int aa = Integer.parseInt(input.getText().toString());

As long as you are sure that the user will only be entering integers
