Getting text from a dialog box?

Question

I'm trying to get a value from a pop-up that my program creates. It goes like this:

private void btnCheckoutActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                            


    do
        JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter item price","");
        itemPrice = Double.parseDouble() 

    while();

So how do I get text from the input dialog?

Answer 1

try this

private void btnCheckoutActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                            

do
    String value = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter item price","");
    itemPrice = Double.parseDouble(value) 

while();

}
