Understanding Java constructors

Question

How do I avoid this compilation error:

The constructor BasicNameValuePair(String, Float) is undefined

for code like this:

nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Zam_sum",
                    Float.valueOf(zam.getSum())));

By definition the default Constructor takes a String name and a String value.

BasicNameValuePair(String name, String value)

Try this:

String zamSum = zam.getSum().toString();
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Zam_sum", zamSum);
