Best way to convert Hex String to int?

Or you can use the decode(String nm) method in Integer.  You would have to prepend a '0x' to the beginning of the string (after the optional '-').  So:

if (hexString.charAt(0) == '-') value = Integer.decode("-0x" + hexString.substring(1));
else value = Integer.decode(hexString);

you will have to put this in a try catch block to catch number format exceptions....

thanks!
But it's like this:
value=(value*16)
 

here is the best way to do it

String hex = ffabcc;

int value = Integer.parsInt(hex,16);

Thanks and Regards
