How do I return an int from EditText? (Android)

Question

Basically, I want an EditText in Android where I can have an integer value entered into. Perhaps there is a more appropriate object than EditText for this?

Accepted Answer

For now, use an `EditText`. Use `android:inputType="number"` to force it to be numeric. Convert the resulting string into an integer (e.g., `Integer.parseInt(myEditText.getText().toString())`).

In the future, you might consider a `NumberPicker` widget, once that becomes available (slated to be in Honeycomb).
