I am getting java.lang.numberformatexception invalid double: "" error in logcat anyone please help

Answer 1

The reason is, that "" is not a valid double. You need to test the String before or catch such exceptions

double w;

try {
    w = new Double(input3.getText().toString());
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
    w = 0; // your default value
}
