How to extract integers from alphanumeric string in your Android App?
In this video it shows how one can extract or filter all the digits (integers) from any alphanumeric string/ texts.
It uses replaceAll method of the string to replace any non-numeric character with null (that is delete the non-numeric characters).
In demo it shows how from our email ID - [email protected] - the numbers 1990 is pulled out.
One can also convert the numerical string into int data type by using the below API:
Integer.valueOf(stringOfIntegers)
