I have a dilemma. I have a number as a String with decimal places - e.g. 32.789109 - and I need to get convert this to an int. I have tried converting to Double using parseInt and ValueOf methods but it seems that it wants to always strip the decimal places with conversion - or else throws a numberFormat Exception at runtime. It would seem so simple but it does not seem to be - this the absence of clases like DecimalPlaces and DecimalFormat

Anyone able to help? Appreciative

"it wants to strip off the decimal places"

Are you expecting something else. If you convert this to int it will be "32", right?

If you want to round the value and convert to int, then see MathUtilities.round()

Actually I want to keep the decimals. i.e.
have String aaa = "13.34341123"
need int bbb = 13.34341123

I have found that I can convert String to double and then double to Integer but the process strips the decimal places and I end up with 13 nothing else
Unless I am missing something obvious here..

You *are* missing something obvious.

Integers are "whole number values" and cannot contain decimals.

12.0101010 is "12" when converted to an int - period.

The best you can do is round the value to the nearest whole number value, using MathUtilities.round() (see my previous post).

See this definition of Integer:
