Convert ordinal number to string

Question

I am retrieving ordinal numbers using below code:

public static String ordinal(int i) {
    String[] sufixes = new String[] { "th", "st", "nd", "rd", "th", "th", "th", "th", "th", "th" };
    switch (i % 100) {
    case 11:
    case 12:
    case 13:
        return i + "th";
    default:
        return i + sufixes[i % 10];

    }
}

Output : 1st, 2nd, 3rd...

How can I get string like first, second, third from these ordinal numbers in java, Android.

I am able to get ordinal number like above already using switch (i%100) Ordinal String :: 0th Ordinal String :: 1st Ordinal String :: 2nd — R G, Dec 15 '17 at 13:04
Are you looking for a number ordinals like 1st,2nd,3rd like? — Ramesh sambu, Dec 15 '17 at 13:04
no. That already I am getting. I want string like first, second, third.. — R G, Dec 15 '17 at 13:05
Are you looking like this 1 -> "First" 2 -> "Second" 3 -> "Third" — Ramesh sambu, Dec 15 '17 at 13:07
yes. If it is possible using numbers like 1,2,3 to first, second, third.. will also be OK — R G, Dec 15 '17 at 13:09

I have already tried from this link:: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6810336/is-there-a-way-in-java-to-convert-an-integer-to-its-ordinal but It is giving me errors — R G, Dec 15 '17 at 13:14
@R2R I have used code from same link. but not getting result what I want — R G, Dec 15 '17 at 13:26
@M.Prokhorov I have used code from same link. but not getting result what I want — R G, Dec 15 '17 at 13:27
There are answers to that question that do provide alternatives to spell it out. — Mark Rotteveel, Dec 16 '17 at 11:49
@Frank, because you need to use ideas from answers, not code from answers. — M. Prokhorov, Dec 18 '17 at 11:19

You can use this class I wrote. Just download the file (license header included) to your project, update the package declaration, and you can use it like this.

Numerals ns = new Numerals();
System.out.println(ns.toWords(12048));
System.out.println(ns.toWords(12048, true));
System.out.println(ns.toWords(102500, false));
System.out.println(ns.toWords(102500, true));

which outputs

twelve thousand and forty-eight
twelve thousand and forty-eighth
one hundred and two thousand, five hundred
one hundred and two thousand, five hundredth

The second argument to toWords, if specified, determines whether to output ordinals (true) or regular numerals (false). You can take a look at it to see how it works.

This worked for me.. Thank you. – R G Dec 16 '17 at 06:15
That is an extremely poor solution when it comes to Android, as it lacks internationalization. – M. Prokhorov Dec 18 '17 at 11:17
@M.Prokhorov quite true. The OP would probably have been much better off using a full featured library. But I had the code anyway, so I thought I'd just share it. Plus, I missed the `android` tag when I first answered. – Leo Aso Dec 18 '17 at 16:03
