The function below gets two values from sharedpreferences, weight and height, and I use these to calculate the BMI, When I print the content of the values I get the values i have entered in the sharedprefs ( which is good) but then when i run a division operation on them, I always get 0 as a result.. Where is the error?
public int computeBMI(){
SharedPreferences customSharedPreference = getSharedPreferences(
"myCustomSharedPrefs", Activity.MODE_PRIVATE);
String Height = customSharedPreference.getString("heightpref", "");
String Weight = customSharedPreference.getString("weightpref", "");
int weight = Integer.parseInt(Weight);
int height = Integer.parseInt(Height);
Toast.makeText(CalculationsActivity.this, Height+" "+ Weight , Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
int bmi = weight/(height*height);
return bmi;
}
You're doing integer division.
You need to cast one operand to double
.
