index out of bounds when multiplying a double

Question

First time posting. Thanks for the help in advance.

I have two activities. First activity reads in 3 numbers from the user via edittext fields whose inputType is "numberDecimal". It bundles these and sends them to the second activity via intent.

The second activity reads in the 3 numbers. It then needs to multiply them by some constants. That's where the problem comes in. If the result of the multiplication is too large (say, greater than a couple hundred...not constant threshold...not close to what a double should be able to hold) then it throws an indexoutofboundsexception.

//@SuppressWarnings ("serial)")
public class CreationActivity extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState){
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.creation);
    TextView txtTitle = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.labelTitle);
    TextView txtArtist = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.labelArtist);
    TextView txtTime = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.labelTitle);

    try {
        Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
        double Hours;
        double Minutes;
        double Seconds;

        if (extras!=null){
            double timerTime[] = extras.getDoubleArray("Time");
            Hours = timerTime[0];
            Minutes = timerTime[1];
            Seconds = timerTime[2];
                            //next line is where the error happens:
            double desired_time = timerTime[0] * 5000;
                            //do some stuff
        }else{
            txtTitle.setText("No data");
        }
    } catch (NumberFormatException e){
    }
}
}   

And the LogCat is:

Answer 1

It sounds like you are trying to access the 5th (item at position 4) item in an array of length four.
