Java android studio get number from EditText

Question

I have a EditText that is set to number but am not sure how to get the value entered into the main.activity.java. Please help. I also want it to be a number integer not string so that I can perform operations with it. Thanks.

I know that this is how to do it for a string but not sure how to do it for an integer/number.

 waketimeEnter = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.waketime_enter);

 public void buttonClick(View view) {

    String waketime = String.valueOf(waketimeEnter.getText());
    sleepNumber.setText(waketime);


}

Answer 1

Convert String to integer -

String waketime = String.valueOf(waketimeEnter.getText());
int number = Integer.parseInt(waketime);
//Do whatever you want with number
sleepNumber.setText(waketime);

EDIT -

Add this line to your EditText -

android:inputType="number"

So that the user can't enter a non-integral value. Then this will work perfectly.

Answer 2

Try this:

waketimeEnter = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.waketime_enter); 

 public void buttonClick(View view) {

    int waketime = Integer.parseInt(waketimeEnter.getText().toString());
    sleepNumber.setText(waketime);


} 

Hope this works for you.

Answer 3

try this

waketimeEnter = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.waketime_enter);

        public void buttonClick(View view) {

            String waketime = String.valueOf(waketimeEnter.getText());
            sleepNumber.setText(waketime+"");


        }

Answer 4

Since what you want it's on an EditText you'll have to parse it, here's an example to how to do it :

int number = Integer.parseInt(waketimeEnter.getText().toString());

Then since you want to put it as a text with setText() function it needs a String so a trick could be this :

sleepNumber.setText(String.valueOf(number));

Answer 5

Try with following code:

int waketime = Integer.valueOf(waketimeEnter.getText().toString());
sleepNumber.setText(String.valueOf(waketime));
