java.lang errors

Thread view: 
janicethorne - 31 Mar 2006 03:06 GMT
I have a program that takes in data from the user, calculates the data and is
supposed to display the results in a window. The program compiles and the
user is able to type in data, but when you click the calculate button, the
errors that come up are the following:

java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "Enter Length"

The code that the error is referencing is:

    private class ButtonHandler implements ActionListener {

            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)  {

                rectangle r = new rectangle();

                r.setWidth(Integer.parseInt(dataWidth.getText()));

                r.setLength(Integer.parseInt(enterLength.getText()));

                calculateArea.setText("The area of your rectangle is " + r.calcArea());

                calculatePerim.setText("The perimeter of your rectangle is " + r.
calcPerimeter());
            }
    }//end of action handler

What is the cause of this and how do I remedy it? I have no experience with
IO. thank you so much for your help.

Integer.parseInt returns this NumberFormatException error if the input
is not numeric.

>From the error it appears that enterLength.getText() returns the string
"Enter Length" which means the user has not entered a proper number.
You can either check if the string is numeric first, or enclose it in a
try{} catch{} block with a handler to catch NumberFormatExceptions.
