How to set text for a MenuItem inside a for loop?

Question

I am creating a JavaFX program. Iwas trying to create menu items with a for loop.
I have tried to set text to MenuItem by placing the variable to the parameter. Error = int cannot be converted to String.

 MenuButton mes = new MenuButton("Mês");
        for(int i=1; i<=10; i++){
            mes.getItems().add(new MenuItem(i));
        }

From the source code,

public MenuItem(String label) throws HeadlessException {
    this(label, null);
}

So, to construct an object of MenuItem you need to pass in a String as a label.

You'll need to change your code to

mes.getItems().add(new MenuItem(String.valueOf(i)));

to convert i to a String for calling the constructor.
