How to use BigDecimal with JFormattedTextField

I have a field as:

jFormattedTextFieldGrossWeight = new javax.swing.JFormattedTextField();
jFormattedTextFieldGrossWeight.setFormatterFactory(new javax.swing.text.DefaultFormatterFactory(new javax.swing.text.NumberFormatter(new java.text.DecimalFormat("#,##0.00"))));

I assign it a BigDecimal value using its setValue() method, and allow the user to modify that value using this textfield.

Then in the lostFocus method, on the line:

jFormattedTextField.commitEdit();
BigDecimal gross = (BigDecimal)this.jFormattedTextFieldGrossWeight.getValue();

I get the following exception:

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Long cannot开发者_Python百科 be cast to java.math.BigDecimal

Is there anything wrong? How can I modify my code to get rid of this error?

You can try this:

JFormattedTextField ftf = new JFormattedTextField();
ftf.setFormatterFactory(new DefaultFormatterFactory(
                        new NumberFormatter(new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00"))));


// Input = 1245678.57
// After the format it will be:
// 1,245,678.57
// So, we need to get rid of the comma's:
String number = ftf.getText().replace(",","");
BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(number);

I've implemented number fields based on JFormattedTextField.

JRealNumberField and JLocalizedRealNumberField are text fields for BigDecimal.

They also support a min and a max value.

Maybe you find them useful (the library is open source):
