How to display integers in textField

[mDennis10]

i want to know how can i convert an integer into a string, so it can be displayed in textField. I tried parsing but it did not work

If you have an integer you want to convert to a string, use the toString method. For example:

int x = 10;
String myString = Integer.toString(x);

Then, to put that string into a textfield, assuming you mean something like a JTextField, simply do textFieldName.setText(myString);

There you go.

want import does that method belong to

you don't need any imports to do the integer to string conversion, its just a part of the Integer class.

In what context are you using your textField. Is this a web application?

the integer to string conversion, its just a part of the String class.

That's strange, your code was: Integer.toString(x);
The String class also has a method to convert an int to a String.

Ok.

So yes, once you convert the Integer to a String, just do the textfieldName.setText(myString) and that should work. If you are using Netbeans, right click anywhere inside the class file and select Fix Imports and it will import any necessary packages.

See if that works for you.

If you have an integer you want to convert to a string, use the toString method. For example:

int x = 10;
String myString = Integer.toString(x);

That won't work; the toString( ... ) method in the Integer class isn't static. Better use the String.valueOf( ... ) method; that one is a static method.

From the Integer class's API doc:
public static String toString(int i)

       String two = Integer.toString(2);
       System.out.println("two=" + two);  // two=2

My bad; I goofed, sorry about that.

For Integer and String imports are not needed as they are both part of java.lang.
