How to convert a string into a float?

I am trying to convert String value "0.00008241" into Float as it is

what I can try 

 String price="0.00008241";
 Float f1=Float.parseFloat(price);
 Float f2=Float.valueOf(price);
 Double f3 =Double.parseDouble(price);
 Double f4 =Double.valueOf(price);

but all these return 8.241E-5

then I try it with BigDecimal

BigDecimal tt= BigDecimal.valueOf(Float.parseFloat(price));

it returns 0.00008240999886766076

so any help to convert that price value as it is?

still cant convert it still string? 

String price_="0.00008241";
        BigDecimal tt= BigDecimal.valueOf(Float.parseFloat(price_));
        DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.##########");
        float price = Float.parseFloat("0.00008241");
        String sPrice= df.format(price);

The BigDecimal value can we compare with double value?

Solution

  • Big Decimal is perfect for this conversation:

               String price="0.00008241";
           BigDecimal decimal=new BigDecimal(price);
           System.out.println(decimal); //0.00008241
