Android Question How do I extract the numeric value of a text input?

[DTB Radio]

I want to enter a number into a text box that's already set for numeric input, then get its actual numeric value into a variable for numeric operations. What I'm doing now is this:

dim aVariable as long
aVariable = EditText.text

This works ok for most of what I'm doing, but when I try to do this,

If aVariable > 999999999999 Then
    Msgbox("Please enter a number of 999999999999 or less", "Invalid Input")
end if

It doesnt catch it even if the number entered is higher than 999999999999. What am I missing?

Are you raising an event to check what value is inserted ?

A button could do it.

See the example, works ok here

It works perfectly!

EditText1.InputType = EditText1.INPUT_TYPE_NUMBERS

Sub Button1_Click
    Dim aVariable As Long
    aVariable = EditText1.Text
    Log("EditText1.Text = " & EditText1.Text)
    Log("aVariable = " & aVariable)
    If aVariable > 999999999999 Then
        Msgbox("Please enter a number of 999999999999 or less", "Invalid Input")
    End If   
End Sub
