Convert text input to int or double depending on input

Question

I have a JFrame where I am taking the input from a text field and converting it to an Integer. I would also like to convert it to a double if it is a double and maybe return a message if it is neither a int or double. how can i do this?

My current code:

 int textToInt = Integer.parseInt(textField[0].getText());

Answer 1

String text = textField[0].getText();
try {
    int textToInt = Integer.parseInt(text);
    ...
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
    try {
        double textToDouble = Double.parseDouble(text);
        ...
    } catch (NumberFormatException e2) {
        // message?
    }
}

To keep the precision, immediately parse to BigDecimal. This parseDouble of course is not locale specific.
