Android Question How can I use edit text values on calculations using floating point variables?

[FERNANDO SILVEIRA]

I have two input fields (edit text type) that I want use to do some math. It seems I'm getting data type mismatch when doing it.

Is there a function similar to value(string text) that converts text to numeric values?

Regards,
Fernando

Please post code and errors as text instead of screenshots.

I recommend you to watch the 'First UI Program' video tutorial:


It explains this and more.

Ok, I whatched that and some other of your tutorial videos, and I still replicate some of the source examples provided together with the documentation, but getting back to my specific problem, I still can't figure out why this run time error is occurring.

Fixed... I was forgoting to use .TEXT in the field property.

Thanx.

Don't forget to validate the user input with IsNumber.
