    Question How to put a default int, float, ect. for a JTextField ?

    Hello every one.

    Will I'm tying in my code to set a default number for the JTextField that when the user decide not to put any numbers. Like let say that I want the textfield set to 0 , so then the user do not file it it won't make any problem to the program because its already has a default number.

    ****************
     
    if (stringGQ != null && stringGW != null && stringGP != null){
     
    stringGQ = gMQ.getText();
    stringGW = gMW.getText();
    stringGP = gMP.getText();
     
    weightPrice_1M = Double.parseDouble(stringGW) * Double.parseDouble(stringGP);		 
    total_GroundM += weightPrice_1M  * Integer.parseInt(stringGQ);
     
    finalTotal += total_GroundM;
     
      }
     
    else{
     
     gMQ.getText().valueOf(0);
     gMW.getText().valueOf(0);
    gMP.getText().valueOf(0);						   				  					  
     
     
    }

    Note: This is a small part of my code. when I leave it empty it take the 0 as a value, However,
    when I write in text field it also take the value of a 0 and the finalTotal is also = to 0

    So could please someone what I'm doing wrong.

    Thank you in front

    First, get the string from JTextField (getText()). Second, test if string is empty (equals to "" or length is 0). If it's empty, you can assign to your int/long/etc. variable a "default" value (0, or what you decide). If string is not empty, attempt to "parse" the string using Integer.parseInt, Long.parseLong, etc. If NumberFormatException is thrown you can: a) inform the user (possible input retry), or b) ignore error and assign again a "default" value.
    That's all.

    set a default number for the JTextField
    See the constructor for the JTextField class. It will take a default value.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
