Parse for Ints???

Question

I am creating a basic GUI and am having trouble with the following: see code below
String description = this.txtDescription.getText();
double qty = Double.parseDouble(this.txtQty.getText());
double lineCost = Double.parseDouble(this.txtLineCost.getText());I want to change my qty to an int but am unsure how to convert an int like I am converting the double via the Double.parseDouble method.
All help appreciated.

or:
     * Convert a String to an int. The string must only contain digits and a leading minus sign.
     * @param value String value to convert.
     * @return Integer value of <I>value</I> or Integer.MIN_VALUE if conversion failed.
    static public int toInt(String value) {
        int result = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
        if (value != null) {
            try {
                result = Integer.parseInt(value.trim());
            } catch (NumberFormatException nfe) { /* ignore */ }
        return result;
    }//toInt()
