Fix app keeps stopping made with android studio [closed]

I'm new in the android development field. Last night I made a simple calculator from a youtube tutorial and fortunately I've successfully made it. Here is the code

public class MainActivity extends Activity 
{
    
    
    private EditText etn1;  
    private EditText etn2;
    private TextView tvResult;
    private Button btnadd , btnsub , btnmul , btndiv;
    
    
    
    
    
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        etn1 = findViewById(R.id.etFirstValue);

        Button btnadd = findViewById(R.id.btnAdd);  
        btnadd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    
                    int n1 = Integer.parseInt(etn1.getText().toString());
                    int n2 = Integer.parseInt(etn2.getText().toString());

                    int add = n1   n2;

                    tvResult.setText(String.valueOf(add));
                }
            
        
            
        });
        
        Button btnsub = findViewById(R.id.btnSubtract);  
        btnsub.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View v) {

                    int n1 = Integer.parseInt(etn1.getText().toString());
                    int n2 = Integer.parseInt(etn2.getText().toString());

                    int add = n1 - n2;

                    tvResult.setText(String.valueOf(add));
                }



            });
        Button btnmul = findViewById(R.id.btnMultiply);  
        btnmul.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View v) {

                    int n1 = Integer.parseInt(etn1.getText().toString());
                    int n2 = Integer.parseInt(etn2.getText().toString());

                    int add = n1 * n2;

                    tvResult.setText(String.valueOf(add));
                }



            });
        Button btndiv = findViewById(R.id.btnDivide);  
        btndiv.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View v) {

                    int n1 = Integer.parseInt(etn1.getText().toString());
                    int n2 = Integer.parseInt(etn2.getText().toString());

                    int add = n1 / n2;

                    tvResult.setText(String.valueOf(add));
                }



            });
        
        
        
    

            
        
        

    }

}

But the problem is when I don't put any value into the firstEditText or secondEditText or both of them and click on any button the app crashes and a pop up shows "myapp keeps stopping". I want something like " Please enter a value" shows on the blank EditText when I don't put any value to any of EditText. Help me please

The problem is your input (say, etn1.getText().toString()) may not be a number. So you get NumberFormatException. To fix this, rewrite your code like this:

btnadd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View v) {
int n1 = 0;
int n2 = 0;
try{
  n1 = Integer.parseInt(etn1.getText().toString());
}catch(Exception x) { 
  x.printStackTrace(); 
  n1 = 0;
}

try{
   n2 = Integer.parseInt(etn2.getText().toString());
}catch(Exception x) { 
  x.printStackTrace(); 
  n2 = 0;
}
 
                    int add = n1   n2;

                    tvResult.setText(String.valueOf(add));
                }
            
        
            
        });

CodePudding user response:

You're receiving a NumberFormatException because when you run

Integer.parseInt(etn1.getText().toString())

When a EditText field has no value it returns "". "" cannot be transcribed into a number. Therefore, it throws the NumberFormat Exception.

There are a number of ways to handle this but i would suggest using Uncle Bobs Clean Code methodology. You can encapsulate your within a try catch block for each button click like so:

try{
  n1 = Integer.parseInt(etn1.getText().toString());
}catch(NumberFormatException x) { 
  x.printStackTrace(); 
  n1 = 0;
}

But i would suggest that given this code will have multiple uses across all button types, you move your n variables to global variables (at the top of the code base i.e int n1) and produce a new method such as

Private void setNumbers(){
try{
      n1 = Integer.parseInt(etn1.getText().toString());
      n2 = Integer.parseInt(etn2.getText().toString());
    }catch(NumberFormatException x) { 
      x.printStackTrace(); 
      n1 = 0;
      n2 = 0;
    }
}

Then within each Button onClick Listener could look like:

btndiv.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View v) {
                setNumbers();
                int divide = n1 / n2;
                tvResult.setText(String.valueOf(divide));
                } 
            });

Your app is crashing because when you don't enter any value and tap on buttons, it tries to parse an empty string to int which leads to a NumberFormatException and crashes your app. However, you can first check if your edit texts are empty or not before parsing them, and show a toast or a snackbar if they are empty.

Use this

 String number1 = etn1.getText().toString();
 String number2 = etn2.getText().toString();
 if(number1.isBlank() || number2.isBlank()){
     Toast.makeText(this, "Please enter a value", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {

 int n1 = Integer.parseInt(number1);
 int n2 = Integer.parseInt(number2);

 int add = n1   n2;

 tvResult.setText(String.valueOf(add));
}
