My preference is described in preferences.xml like this: <EditTextPreference android:key="maxTempDegrees" android:summary="Maximum temperature" android:title="Max Temp" android:persistent="true" android:defaultValue="100" android:inputType="numberDecimal"></EditTextPreference>
This behaves very nicely in the preferences view, only allowing the user to enter valid decimal numbers. However, when I call SharedPreferences.getFloat with the "maxTempDegrees" key, it throws a ClassCastException. Beyond the inputType key, how can I tell getFloat to parse the user input as a long? By the way, I did some experimentation and the only "get" method that worked was getLong. I was hoping to use getString and parse it myself but that's not an option either. How do people handle float preferences? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group. NEW!
