java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invalid double: "" at java.lang.StringToReal.invalidReal

Question

Hi I'm taking a value from edittext and converting displaying that value in other text but getting run time error java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invalid double: "".at java.lang.StringToReal.invalidReal. In my setAdapter its taking only franheit that means only todetails. I didn't understand where the bug is

public class UniqueConverter extends Fragment {

    private Spinner fromDetails, toDetails;
    private EditText fromInput, toInput;
@Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_uniquelayout, container, false);
onInitVies(view);
        int position = getArguments().getInt("position");
        String ifrom,rto;
        Double inp;
        double out = 0;

        switch (position) {
            case 0:
                setAdapter(temperatureform, "Celsius", "Fahrenheit");
                ifrom = (String) fromDetails.getSelectedItem();
                rto = (String) toDetails.getSelectedItem();
                inp = Double.valueOf(fromInput.getText().toString());
                TemperatureConverter con = new TemperatureConverter();
                TemperatureConverter.Units fromUnit = TemperatureConverter.Units.fromString(ifrom);
                TemperatureConverter.Units toUnit = TemperatureConverter.Units.fromString(rto);
                out = con.TemperatureConvert(fromUnit,toUnit,inp);
                break;
            case 1:
                setAdapter(weightform, "Kilograms", "Grams");
                ifrom = (String) fromDetails.getSelectedItem();
                rto = (String) toDetails.getSelectedItem();
                inp = Double.valueOf(fromInput.getText().toString());
                WeightConverter converter = new WeightConverter();
                WeightConverter.Inus fromInus = WeightConverter.Inus.fromString(ifrom);
                WeightConverter.Inus toInus = WeightConverter.Inus.fromString(rto);
                out = converter.WeightConvert(fromInus, toInus, inp);
                break;

  final double finalOut = out;
        fromInput.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
                @Override
                public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {

                }

                @Override
                public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {

                }

                @Override
                public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

                    if (!fromInput.getText().toString().equals(""))
                    {
                        toInput.setText(String.valueOf(finalOut));
                    }
                    else

                    }

                }
            });


            return view;

    }


    private void setAdapter(String[] spinnerItems, String fromDefaultText, String toDefaultText) {
        fromDetails.setAdapter(new CustomSpinnerAdapter(getContext(), R.layout.spinner_item, spinnerItems, fromDefaultText));

Answer 1

Your problem is that the variable or resource from which you want to get value is null and so it is saying that " " is not double. If you are getting value from fromInput.getText().toString() then fromInput has no value and thus null can't be cast to double.

Answer 2

before doing this

inp = Double.valueOf(fromInput.getText().toString());

check whether the value from the fromInput text is having "" (empty -i.e holding nothing: say like .length == 0) then u shouldn't parse it; instead notify user to enter some value. also put it in try catch.

Answer 3

@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

    if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(fromInput.getText())
    {
      String value=null;
        try {
            value=String.valueOf(Double.parseDouble(fromInput.getText().toString()));
            toInput.setText(value);
        } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            toInput.setText("");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        toInput.setText("");
    }
}

Answer 4

Try replacing this line

inp = Double.valueOf(fromInput.getText().toString());

with

inp = Double.parseDouble(fromInput.getText().toString());

Answer 5

try {
   inp = Double.valueOf(fromInput.getText().toString());
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
   inp = 0;
}
