Hex to decimal conversion

[Paladium]

Hi there,

I got another question. I need to convert hex values into decimal values. In .net I use val and "&H" plus the hex value. That's all. How do I manage this in B4A? Please help. Thanks a lot.

In Basic4android you should write 0x.

Dim i As Int
i = 0xABC3456

Thanks for the quick reply.

Tried it but get a "numberformatexception".

Small example:

Sub ed3_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)
   Dim aaa As Int
   aaa = "0xab12"
   Msgbox(aaa,"")
End Sub

Same when using edit text:

Sub ed3_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)
   Dim aaa As Int
   aaa = 0x & ed3.Text
   Msgbox(aaa,"")
End Sub

Compiling generated Java code.          Error
B4A line: 69
aaa = 0x & ed3.Text
javac 1.6.0_23
src\com\asdbsfdbsdfb\binary.java:259: hexadecimal numbers must contain at least one hexadecimal digit
_aaa = (int)(Double.parseDouble(BA.NumberToString(0x)+mostCurrent._ed3.getText()));
                                                  ^

If you want to parse a hex string then you should use:

Dim i As Int
i = Bit.ParseInt("ABC123", 16)

If the data type Int has the range : 4bytes signed: -2147483648 to 2147483647
Then why can't I get this code to run:

Dim s As String
Dim i As Int
s = "80000002"  ' 0h80000002 = -2,147,483,646
i = Bit.ParseInt(s,16)
Comp_Gain_Offset.Text = i

I get the error:

main_fillspilabels (B4A line: 1328)
i = Bit.ParseInt(s,16)

I would appreciate your help,

This works:

...
 
s = "7FFFFFFE"
 
...

 

[RichardBernard]

This works:

...

s = "7FFFFFFE"

...

But I wanted negative numbers... I got it working using this tho:

b = Conv.HexToBytes(s)
For j = 0 To 3
    int = int * 256 + Bit.AND(b(j), 255)
Next
Pressure.Text = i
