Is it better to use String.valueOf() or .toString()

Question

Is it more expensive to use String.valueOf("/any non-String value/") or to use non-String-value.toString()?

I am asking in the context of wanting to insert non-String values in a String.format statement:

Html.fromHtml(String.format("<b> %s </b>", value.toString or String.valueOf(value))) ?

As I want my code to be as efficient as possible.

Thanks!

Don't worry about it. It has nothing to do with efficiency. – Kayaman Jun 17 '15 at 13:29 — Kayaman, Jun 17 '15 at 13:29

value.toString() but in full honesty the are doing the same thing. Can return a null pointer exception though
