Android: Convert int to String

Question

Is there an equivalent for getString() that works for integers?

I have some integer values passing into a function and eventually placing in a SQLite table.

x.getString() //works for string values

works for string values, but doesn't work for integer values.

Below is my code:

Employee createdEmployee = employeeDAO.createEmployee(
    address.toString(),
    phoneNumber.toString(),
    salary //this is an integer value and getting error
);

Please do a research before asking a question.

I figured it out. This is what I was looking for. int sal = Integer.valueOf(salary.toString()); — Norrin Radd, May 25 '15 at 13:05

You can insert salary as a string but whenever you want to use salary as a integer.. then you can use

Integer.parseInt(salary);

There are 3 options:

1- Use helper method defined in String class to convert various objects including int to string:

Employee createdEmployee = employeeDAO.createEmployee(
                address.toString(),
                phoneNumber.toString(),
                String.valueOf(salary)
        );

2- Simply append an empty string to the int which would implicitly convert int to string:

Employee createdEmployee = employeeDAO.createEmployee(
                address.toString(),
                phoneNumber.toString(),
                salary + ""
        );

3- Use helper method defined in Integer class to string to int:

Employee createdEmployee = employeeDAO.createEmployee(
                address.toString(),
                phoneNumber.toString(),
                Integer.parseInt(salary)
        );
