Convert String to Double - JAVA

Question

private void jComboBox1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                           
        // TODO add your handling code here:

        //9


        txtTot.setText(jComboBox1.getSelectedItem().toString());
        tot= Double.parseDouble(txtTot.getText());
        CMB= (Double)jComboBox1.getSelectedItem();
        Total2=tot+CMB;
        txtTot.setText(Double.toString(Total2));

    }   

From the ComboBox I'm setting the jtextfield and the second line I'm taking the string from the textfield and trying to convert it into a double .

Error below:

Answer 1

To me it seems like you are selecting a value from a combobox then trying to add them together to create a grand total, with the total being updated every time you select a new value from the combobox.

This seems to be working for me, Note I've taken the first line away because it interfered with the existing total.

tot= Double.parseDouble(txtTot.getText());
CMB = Double.parseDouble((String) jComboBox1.getSelectedItem());
Total2=tot+CMB;
txtTot.setText(Double.toString(Total2));

Answer 2

Try to print the txtTot.getText () to the console and check whether it is in proper decimal format. Incorrect format could be the cause of error.
