Long.parseLong not working

[sdr001]

Hello,

I am developing an Andorid application and I am having troubles with a line of code. I am getting x and y coordinates that have been stored as strings then I try to convert them to integers with x = (int) Long.parseLong(loc1); (x is an int). I have tried the parseInt also, and has not worked. Any ideas? Thank you.

Can you please post the code you're having a problem with?

Also explain what "not worked" means.

    When I comment out the lines x = (int) Long.parseLong(loc1); and y = (int) Long.parseLong(loc2); the app works fine, which means that it loads the map and places a custom pinpoint on the map. This code is executed when Google Maps is loaded. It opens my database (addSpot.open()) , gets the x,y coordinates for saved locations, then puts them into tempA array. Then I want to convert an x , y coordinates to integers (strings first) by using the Long.parseLong. Any suggestions? 

        addSpot.open();
        locUse = addSpot.getDataForMapLocation();
            String myLocationTest = "";
            String tempA[];

            AlertDialog alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(map.this).create();

            tempA = locUse.split(",");

            String loc1,loc2;
            loc1 = tempA[3];
            loc2 = tempA[4];

            x = (int) Long.parseLong(loc1);
            y = (int) Long.parseLong(loc2);

            touchedPoint = map.getProjection().fromPixels(x,y);
            OverlayItem overlayItem = new OverlayItem(touchedPoint, "Hunting Spot", "Nice Spot");
            CustomPinpoint custom = new CustomPinpoint(d, map.this);
            custom.insertPoint(overlayItem);
            overlayList.add(custom);

What are the contents of the Strings you are string to convert?

What happens when the code does "not work"? Are there exceptions and error messages?

[sdr001]

loc1 is 354.0
loc2 is 407.00003

There are no exceptions or error messages. I just get a message that says your appliction has stopped unexpectedly. Thanks for your help.

Long is an integer type. Your Strings do not represent an integer. If you put the code in a try/catch block you will probably catch a NumberFormatException
Perhaps you confused long (integer) with double (floating point)?
