Convert string to bigdecimal in android

Question

Hi How can i convert string to bigdecimal in android.

This is my 1st activity:

public class ViewCartActivity extends Activity {

String mGrandTotal;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.viewcartactivity);

    ListView mLstView1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
    TextView mTxtViewGrandTotal = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.mTxtViewGrandTotalValue);
    Button mBtnSubmit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.mBtnSubmit);

    ViewCartAdapter mViewCartAdpt = new ViewCartAdapter(
            ViewCartActivity.this);

    mLstView1.setAdapter(mViewCartAdpt);

    if (Constants.mItem_Detail.size() > 0) {
        Double mGTotal = Double.parseDouble(Constants.mItem_Detail.get(0)
                .get(SingleMenuItem.KEY_TOTAL));
        for (int i = 1; i < Constants.mItem_Detail.size(); i++) {
            mGTotal = mGTotal
                    + Double.parseDouble(Constants.mItem_Detail.get(i).get(
                            SingleMenuItem.KEY_TOTAL));
        }

        mGrandTotal = String.valueOf(mGTotal);
        mTxtViewGrandTotal.setText("$" + mGrandTotal);
    }

    mBtnSubmit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

             Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), CustomerLogin.class);
            i.putExtra("GrandTotal", mGrandTotal);
                startActivity(i);

        }

The CustomerLogin.java(next activity):

      String mGrandTotal;
      /** Called when the activity is first created. */
       @Override
       public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.customer_login);
       Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();

         String total = b.getString("GrandTotal");
         -----
       ------
           if(isUserValidated && isPasswordValidated)
              {
            String s= getIntent().getStringExtra(mGrandTotal);
                Intent intent = new Intent(CustomerLogin.this,PayPalIntegrationActivity.class);
                intent.putExtra(mGrandTotal, s);

           startActivity(intent);

              }

The PayPalIntegrationActivity.java(3rd activity) look like:

public class PayPalIntegrationActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

 String mGrandTotal;
    private PayPal mPayPal;
   private CheckoutButton launchPayPalButton;

@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_pay_pal_integration);
       -------
        ------
          @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

            payWithPaypal();
        }


         private PayPalPayment  payWithPaypal() {
                PayPalPayment newPayment = new PayPalPayment();
                Intent in = getIntent();
                String total = in.getStringExtra(mGrandTotal);
                BigDecimal sPrice = new BigDecimal(total);

        newPayment.setSubtotal(sPrice);
        newPayment.setCurrencyType(Currency.getInstance(Locale.US));

I have to pass the grandtotal value to my paypalintegration activity.

But my console window shows following error:

      12-21 05:52:09.571: E/AndroidRuntime(782): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
       12-21 05:52:09.571: E/AndroidRuntime(782): java.lang.NullPointerException

      12-21 05:52:09.571: E/AndroidRuntime(782):    at android.view.View.performClick(View.java:2408)

Answer 1

You are not getting error because of converting String to Bigdecimal as there is an Constructor of Bigdecimal for the same BigDecimal(String val) ,you are getting error due to total has null value and it can not be converted to BigDecimal. you can do like this

      String total="0.0";
      if(in.getStringExtra(mGrandTotal)!=null && !in.getStringExtra(mGrandTotal).isEmpty()){
            total=in.getStringExtra(mGrandTotal);
      }
       BigDecimal sPrice = new BigDecimal(total);

hope this will work for u...!!!

Answer 2

You are getting error because you are attempting to convert a non numeric string total to a BigDecimal number. Assign some numeric values to KEY_TOTAL e.g.

          static final String KEY_TOTAL = "0.0";//some numeric value here
