I am looking for a way to ensure that my text field (JTextField, JFormattedTextField) is returning a double or int rather than a string when I call .getText(). What is the best way to do this (if possible)?
Thanks!

I would check the input in the textbox callback and simply make the box red or create an alert message nearby. You can remove the non-numeric character from the textbox string.
Register InputVerifier and call method getValue
from JFormattedTextField
public class FormattedTextFieldVerifier extends InputVerifier {
public boolean verify(JComponent input) {
if (input instanceof JFormattedTextField) {
JFormattedTextField ftf = (JFormattedTextField)input;
AbstractFormatter formatter = ftf.getFormatter();
if (formatter != null) {
String text = ftf.getText();
try {
formatter.stringToValue(text);
return true;
} catch (ParseException pe) {
return false;
}
}
}
return true;
}
public boolean shouldYieldFocus(JComponent input) {
return verify(input);
}
}
