Can i convert String to float coming from server?

Question

I want to change a float coming from server to string or string to float. Can i convert string to float coming from server?

    String coming;
    coming = new String(rec.getData());
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),comnig,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

`String coming = String.valueOf(rec.getData());` perhaps? A `float` is a `float`, regardless of where you got it from... — Jon Skeet, Apr 20 '15 at 19:37

Yes you can convert a String to a float. Simply do:

Float.parseFloat(string);

You may want to surround this with a try and catch because if the string is not compatible with type float it will create a stack-trace.

converting string to float

float f = Float.parseFloat(coming);

it's better to use try -catch , because your coming value may contain something that are not compatible with float type .
