If you explicitly cast double to int, it will loose decimal values. For example:
int x = (int) 4.97542; //gives 4 only
int x = (int) 4.23544; //gives 4 only

Moreover, you may also use Math.floor() method to round values in case you want double value in return.

Thanks, solved my problem Vogatsu Apr 23 '12 at 12:40

What does it mean to "loose decimal values"? Does it give the same numbers as calling Math.floor()? Samuel Edwin Ward Dec 27 '15 at 0:17

If the double is a Double with capital D (a boxed primitive value):

Double d = 4.97542;
int i = (int) d.doubleValue();
// or directly:
int i2 = d.intValue();

If the double is already a primitive double, then you simply cast it:
double d = 4.97542;
int i = (int) d;

can you please tell me what is the difference between Double and double ? Muhammed Refaat Apr 27 '14 at 7:48
a double is a primitive float point value. A Double is a Java Object. penguin Nov 3 '15 at 21:23

double myDouble = 420.5;

//Type cast double to int
int i = (int)myDouble;
System.out.println(i);

The double value is 420.5 and the application prints out the integer value of 420

Another option either using Double or double is use Double.valueOf(double d).intValue();. Simple and clean

I think I had a better output, especially for a double datatype sorting.

Though this question has been marked answered, perhaps this will help someone else;
Arrays.sort(newTag, new Comparator<String[]>() {
@Override
public int compare(final String[] entry1, final String[] entry2) {
final Integer time1 = (int)Integer.valueOf((int) Double.parseDouble(entry1[2]));
final Integer time2 = (int)Integer.valueOf((int) Double.parseDouble(entry2[2]));
return time1.compareTo(time2);
}
});
