Method Detail

convertNumberToTargetClass

public static Number convertNumberToTargetClass(Number number,
                                                Class targetClass)
                                         throws IllegalArgumentException

Convert the given number into an instance of the given target class.

Parameters:

number - the number to convert

targetClass - the target class to convert to

Returns:

the converted number

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the target class is not supported (i.e. not a standard Number subclass as included in the JDK)

See Also:

Byte, Short, Integer, Long, BigInteger, Float, Double, BigDecimal

parseNumber

public static Number parseNumber(String text,
                                 Class targetClass)

Parse the given text into a number instance of the given target class, using the corresponding decode / valueOf methods.

Trims the input String before attempting to parse the number. Supports numbers in hex format (with leading "0x", "0X" or "#") as well.

Parameters:

text - the text to convert

targetClass - the target class to parse into

Returns:

the parsed number

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the target class is not supported (i.e. not a standard Number subclass as included in the JDK)

parseNumber

public static Number parseNumber(String text,
                                 Class targetClass,
                                 NumberFormat numberFormat)

Parse the given text into a number instance of the given target class, using the given NumberFormat. Trims the input String before attempting to parse the number.

Parameters:

text - the text to convert

targetClass - the target class to parse into

numberFormat - the NumberFormat to use for parsing (if null, this method falls back to parseNumber(String, Class))

Returns:

the parsed number

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the target class is not supported (i.e. not a standard Number subclass as included in the JDK)
