String format a double to a maximum number of character in java

As stated in the title, I would like to write a double in a string with a maximum number of character, in java.
Well actually to an exact number of character, but I can wrap it in a String.format("%Xs", ...) with given X to fill missing character.
Note that there are many questions related to this on SO and internet, but I couldn't find the exact same as mine for java.
What I think of would be to write
the full double if it fits: for max character n=10, 123.4567 is good
round decimal and keep the integer part if it fits: for n=10, 123456.789654 would format to 123456.79
use exponential otherwise: for n=10, 123456789123.321654 would format to 1.23457e11
=> Is there a practical tool to do that or something equivalent?

That is what I have for now, not perfect but I spend enough time on it already.
The idea is that Double.toString is doing exactly what I want but for a fixed length (maybe someone knows how to configure that length?). So I use it and remove decimal when necessary
/** write a double to a string of exact given length (but for some extreme cases) */
public static String doubleToString(double x, int length) {
String str = Double.toString(x);
if(str.length() <= length){
return org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils.repeat(" ", length - str.length()) + str;
} else if(str.contains("E")){
String[] split = str.split("E");
String num = split[0];
String exp = split[1];
return removeDecimal(num, length - exp.length()-1) + 'E' + exp;
} else {
return removeDecimal(str, length);
}
}
// remove trailing decimal of a double as string such as xxx.yyyy
private static String removeDecimal(String doubleStr, int length){
int dotIndex = doubleStr.indexOf('.');
return doubleStr.substring(0, Math.max(dotIndex+1, length));
}

Take a look at BigDecimal (https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/math/BigDecimal.html) I use new DecimalFormat("0.00") if I want to ensure that the two decimal places are always shown, e.g. 1000.5 will display as 1000.50.

If a String containing a number bigger than Integer.MAX_VALUE

I want to find if given String "99999999999999999999999999" or any massive number which would not fit in any datatype.I would like to find if that number is bigger than Integer.MAX_VALUE

Use BigInteger
BigInteger maxInt = BigInteger.valueOf(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
BigInteger value = new BigInteger("whatever");
if (value.compareTo(maxInt) > 0)
{
// larger
}

You could construct a BigInteger object from the string and then compare that BigInteger to Integer.MAX_VALUE.

You can call parseInt and catch NumberFormatException, which will be thrown if the number is too large (though it will also be thrown if the String has non-numeric characters).
If you want to avoid the exception, you can run the following checks:
If the String has more than 10 characters (or 11 if the first character is '-' or '+'), it must be larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE or smaller than Integer.MIN_VALUE.
Otherwise, call Long.parseLong() and compare the result to Integer.MAX_VALUE.

You can parse it as an int and catch an exception or BigInteger, or you can do a String comparison.
static final String MAX_INT_STR = Integer.toString(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
public static boolean checkInt(String s) {
return s.length() > MAX_INT_STR.length() || s.compareTo(MAX_INT_STR) > 0;
}
This could be used to avoid throwing some Exceptions before trying to parse it.
NOTE: This doesn't check that it only contains digits, but if it's a positive number it will check it is in bounds without parsing the string.

Try the following code to check if it's too big to fit inside an integer:
String num = "99999999999999999999999999";
try {
Integer.parseInt(num);
} catch(NumberFormatException ex) {
System.out.println("String did not fit in integer datatype");
}
This code will attempt to parse num into an integer, we can catch whenever that goes wrong and execute code when that happens (in this case a simple println).
From parseInt():
Throws: NumberFormatException - if the string does not contain a
parsable integer.

error while parsing an int from a char in String

import java.util.*;
public class test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int i = 123;
String s = Integer.toString(i);
int Test = Integer.parseInt(s, s.charAt(0)); // ERROR!
}
}
I want to parse the input string based on char position to get the positional integer.
Error message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: radix 49 greater than Character.MAX_RADIX
at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Unknown Source)
at test.main(test.java:11)

That method you are calling parseInt(String, int) expects a radix; something that denotes the "number system" you want to work in, like
parseInt("10", 10)
(10 for decimal)! Instead, use
Integer.parseInt(i)
or
Integer.parseInt(i, 10)
assuming you want to work in the decimal system. And to explain your error message - lets have a look at what your code is actually doing. In essence, it calls:
Integer.parseInt("123", '1')
and that boils down to a call
Integer.parseInt("123", 49) // '1' --> int --> 49!
And there we go - as it nicely lines up with your error message; as 49 isn't a valid radix for parsing numbers.
But the real answer here: don't just blindly use some library method. Study its documentation, so you understand what it is doing; and what the parameters you are passing to it actually mean.
Thus, turn here and read what parseInt(String, int) is about!

Integer.parseInt(parameter) expects the parameter to be a String.
You could try Integer.parseInt(s.charAt(0) + ""). The +"" is to append the character to an empty String thereby casting the char to String and this is exactly what the method expects.
Another method to parse Characters to Integers (and in my opinion much better!) is to use Character.getNumericValue(s.charAt(0));
Check this post for further details on converting char to int

Need to convert String.valueOf(s.charAt(0)) to String.valueOf(s.charAt(0)) i.e. Char to String.
import java.util.*;
public class test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int i = 123;
String s = Integer.toString(i);
int Test = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(s.charAt(0)));
}
}

Let use what we have here.
To parse one digit from a String into an integer. Use getNumericValue(char)
In your case, to get the first character into a number :
int n = Character.getNumericValue(s.charAt(0));
Be aware that you should take the absolute value if you integer can be negative.

java convert to int

I am trying to convert to int like this, but I am getting an exception.
String strHexNumber = "0x1";
int decimalNumber = Integer.parseInt(strHexNumber, 16);
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "0x1"
at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:48)
at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:458)
It would be a great help if someone can fix it.
Thanks.

That's because the 0x prefix is not allowed. It's only a Java language thing.
String strHexNumber = "F777";
int decimalNumber = Integer.parseInt(strHexNumber, 16);
System.out.println(decimalNumber);
If you want to parse strings with leading 0x then use the .decode methods available on Integer, Long etc.
int value = Integer.decode("0x12AF");
System.out.println(value);

Sure - you need to get rid of the "0x" part if you want to use parseInt:
int parsed = Integer.parseInt("100", 16);
System.out.println(parsed); // 256
If you know your value will start with "0x" you can just use:
String prefixStripped = hexNumber.substring(2);
Otherwise, just test for it:
number = number.startsWith("0x") ? number.substring(2) : number;
Note that you should think about how negative numbers will be represented too.
EDIT: Adam's solution using decode will certainly work, but if you already know the radix then IMO it's clearer to state it explicitly than to have it inferred - particularly if it would surprise people for "035" to be treated as octal, for example. Each method is appropriate at different times, of course, so it's worth knowing about both. Pick whichever one handles your particular situation most cleanly and clearly.

Integer.parseInt can only parse strings that are formatted to look just like an int. So you can parse "0" or "12343" or "-56" but not "0x1".

You need to strip off the 0x from the front of the string before you ask the Integer class to parse it. The parseInt method expects the string passed in to be only numbers/letters of the specified radix.

try using this code here:-
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
public class HexaToInteger{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
BufferedReader read =
new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Enter the hexadecimal value:!");
String s = read.readLine();
int i = Integer.valueOf(s, 16).intValue();
System.out.println("Integer:=" + i);
}
}

Yeah, Integer is still expecting some kind of String of numbers. that x is really going to mess things up.

Depending on the size of the hex, you may need to use a BigInteger (you can probably skip the "L" check and trim in yours ;-) ):
// Convert HEX to decimal
if (category.startsWith("0X") && category.endsWith("L")) {
category = new BigInteger(category.substring(2, category.length() - 1), 16).toString();
} else if (category.startsWith("0X")) {
category = new BigInteger(category.substring(2, category.length()), 16).toString();
}

Is J2ME's Integer.parseInt() broken?

While writing a game for J2ME we ran into an issue using java.lang.Integer.parseInt()
We have several constant values defined as hex values, for example:
CHARACTER_RED = 0xFFAAA005;
During the game the value is serialized and is received through a network connection, coming in as a string representation of the hex value. In order to parse it back to an int we unsuccesfully tried the following:
// Response contains the value "ffAAA005" for "characterId"
string hexValue = response.get("characterId");
// The following throws a NumberFormatException
int value = Integer.parseInt(hexValue, 16);
Then I ran some tests and tried this:
string hexValue = Integer.toHexString(0xFFAAA005);
// The following throws a NumberFormatException
int value = Integer.parseInt(hexValue, 16);
This is the exception from the actual code:
java.lang.NumberFormatException: ffaaa005
at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:462)
at net.triadgames.acertijo.GameMIDlet.startMIDlet(GameMIDlet.java:109)
This I must admit, baffled me. Looking at the parseInt code the NumberFormatException seems to be thrown when the number being parsed "crosses" the "negative/positive boundary" (perhaps someone can edit in the right jargon for this?).
Is this the expected behavior for the Integer.parseInt function? In the end I had to write my own hex string parsing function, and I was quite displeased with the provided implementation.
In other words, was my expectation of having Integer.parseInt() work on the hex string representation of an integer misguided?
EDIT: In my initial posting I wrote 0xFFFAAA005 instead of 0xFFAAA005. I've since corrected that mistake.

The String you are parsing is too large to fit in an int. In Java, an int is a signed, 32-bit data type. Your string requires at least 36 bits.
Your (positive) value is still too large to fit in a signed 32-bit int.

Do realize that your input (4289372165) overflows the maximum size of an int (2147483647)?
Try parsing the value as a long and trim the leading "0x" off the string before you parse it:
public class Program {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String input = "0xFFFAAA005";
long value = Long.parseLong(input.substring(2), 16);
System.out.print(value);
}
}

I'm not a java dev, but I'd guess parseInt only works with integers. 0xFFFAAA005 has 9 hex digits, so it's a long, not an int. My guess is it's complaining because you asked it to parse a number that's bigger than it's result data type.

Your number seems to be too large to fit in an int, try using Long.parseLong() instead.
Also, the string doesn't seem to get parsed if you have 0x in your string, so try to cut that off.
