Can't convert an ArrayList into a Double

Question

I have this TXT file with some data that i read and insert it to an arraylist then i want to pass the data in to several variables but i keep getting an error when i convert it to double.
TXT file:
volvo
200000
0.7
2000
Mercedes
500000
1.0
1000
Fiat
100000
0.5
5000
Code:
class Register{
private ArrayList bilar = new ArrayList();
private BufferedReader indata =     new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
//Read the information from .txt"
public void läsInRegister() throws IOException{
try
FileReader file = new FileReader("C:/Users/Kelly/workspace/cla…
BufferedReader buf = new BufferedReader(file);
String in = buf.readLine();
while (in != null && !in.equals(""))
bilar.add(in);
in = buf.readLine();
System.out.println(bilar+ "\n" );
catch (Exception e){
public void set(){
for(int i=0; i< bilar.size(); i++) {
String str = bilar.get(i).toString();
String modell = str;
i=i++;
str="";
str = bilar.get(i).toString();
// until here everything is allright
// Now i have try with this ways but still nothing
double inköpspris = Double.parseDouble(str);
i=i++;
double bränsleförbrukning = (double) bilar.get(i);
i=i++;
double underhåll = (double) bilar.get(i);
i=i++;     
double bränsleförbrukning = Double.parseDouble((String) bilar.get(i));
i can convert it to string there is no problem there, so i tried to convert the string str to double but still keeps getting the same error
the error is:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Double

Answer 1

They're not doubles, they are Strings, resulting from readLine() calls. You have to parse them into doubles. Your already doing that with one of them, just do it to the others. A trivial problem that you had already solved.
