How to convert String to int and call method on it? [duplicate]

Question

I have tried to convert my String to an int but my code keeps crashing.

The code is as follows:

String age = getAge();
CalculateDaysSinceBirth((int) age);

But I get a NumberFormatException.

It helped me, thanks.

The above answer will cause an exception if the string cannot be parsed to an int. See stackoverflow.com/questions/5585779/… for a more in depth answer.
