Re: Convertion from String to Float

Hi Pedro,

As Daniel pointed out, you should use the NumberFormat/DecimalFormat
classes. Here's an example:

NumberFormat formatter = NumberFormat.getInstance();
float f = formatter.parse("1,685");

The getInstance method creates an instance of NumberFormat in the
current locale (my locale is Brazilian Portuguese, which uses comma to
separate decimal values, and that's why it worked). You can pass a
Locale object to specify a non-default locale.

If you need a more accurate formatting, try the DecimalFormat class.
You can construct an object of this class with a custom format.

See ya!

Thank you for the replies. The solution adopted was:

temp = value.split(",");
value = temp[0]+"."+temp[1];
numero = Float.parseFloat(value);

I'll use the replace later to avoid all these operations.

Thanks once again

Regards
