How to get integer value from string?

Question

Android

Good time of the day!
I have a variable of type integer i and a variable firstmat of type EditText

private int i = 0;
private EditText firstmat;

A number is entered in firstmat and I need to put it in i, I do it this way, but it's not correct and doesn't work =)
i = Integer.parseInt(firstmat.getText());
How to do it?

Answer 1

i = Integer.parseInt(firstmat.getText().toString());
