I am making a simple unit converter, my app crashes when i try to take value form edittext in fragments

Question

This is my UnitConveter.java file I am making this in android studio.

when I run the app it crashes and didn't run bit when i remove/comment out the edittext part it works fine!!!

I want to use the value in edit text to find the answer

and also can you give me the suggestion best android development video/course(free) thanks for your help

Answer 1

First and foremost, you must learn some naming conventions.

Second, the StackTrace is not actual to the code you are showing. Somewhere around at AreaConvert.java line 66, must be a onClick listener which converts some value .toDouble() . The StackTrace error is telling you that that value cannot be converted to double
