Greetings All, Am an Android app dev newbie, so pl bear with this (possibly) stupid question. (Actually i did post it last night in reply to a similar qs but it does not seem to show up, so am re-posting as a new thread).
Am developing an app, and a relatively small issue is driving me nuts. The app has an EditText widget. The user enters his/her weight in this control. So lets say the user enters "65.5" (kg). I can retrieve this value as a string (using txt_weight.getText().toString(); ). But, I want to use it in an arithmetic expression, hence I require to interpret it as a float. How exactly do I do this?? Appreciate your help! TIA, kaiwan. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
