Why setText in android gives error when only int is passed in it?

Question

Following is my code

 public void display(int number){
        TextView quantity = findViewById(R.id.quantity);
        quantity.setText(number);
    }

When I give setText(number) then it gives error which states that no resource found. But when I give setText("" + number); then it works perfectly. Am I missing some fundamentals?

Try This

public void display(int number){
    TextView quantity = findViewById(R.id.quantity);
    quantity.setText(String.valueOf(number));
}

setText() only accepts String value and int number is a number so we have convert it to string.
