How to get double from EditText the right way?

Question

Does anyone know how to parse a double from an EditText?

I know how to do it, but it isn't the right way I think. Does anyone have best practises?

Thank you.

you can try this:

double value;
String text =your_edittext.getText().toString();
if(!text.isEmpty())
try
{
   value= Double.parseDouble(text);
   // it means it is double
} catch (Exception e1) {
   // this means it is not double 
   e1.printStackTrace();
}
