i post this cause i don't have an idea what my problem is.. the problem happens when i click enter for getting the result of the numbers that i click with the operation also i click..

you are getting that NumberFormatException while trying to convert string to integer. because of the parseInt() method . Make sure you are giving the valid number as parameter to the parseInt() method.

parseInt method converts string to integer provided string contains only numbers (strictly numbers , not even a space after the number). Otherwise it throws an NumberFormatException.

PS: trim() method will be quite useful in this case

String s="567     ";
int num=Integer.parseInt(s.trim());

Here eventhough the string 's' contains spaces , trim method will trim the spaces thus avoiding exception

commented: Good :) +13

so you suggest that i use trim() method?.. but where do i put it?.. for getting the result?..

btw, i try to run it again and i don't encounter the error.. :O
i don't know how, but i haven't changed anything..
btw thanks for your comment here sir.. wish u luck.. thanks again..
