title: My app crashes when my phone's language is set to Persian or Arabic because of Double.parseDouble
body: <p>below is the java code for one of my activities, it works fine when the phone's language is English but when the phone's language is set to Persian or Arabic it crashes. the logcat says that it is something wrong with the Double.parseDouble. it seems when the user enters the numbers it changes them into Persian or Arabic digits and thats why it crashes. Any ideas how to fix?</p>
