Int into string?

I know this is possible, but how do you do it? I'm making a game, and I want a score on the screen at all times. How do I tell the game to take an int value of the score, and make it possible to turn it into a string, in order to represent it on the screen?
I've been trying to do "ScoreText.text=Score;" is there a way to make that work? or do I need to use a different method entirely.

Use: ScoreText.text=String(Score);

Can't convert int into String

I'm trying to code a GUI that will give an employee id, name, salary, hire date, and vac days.
public String getFieldValue(int fieldIndex) {
          switch (fieldIndex){
          case 0: return employeeID;
          case 1: return firstName;
          case 2: return lastName;
          case 3: return empIndicator;
          case 4: return salary;
          case 5: return hireDate;
          case 6: return vacDate;
          return null;
My salary and vacDate are double and int. How do I display all the fields?
Thanks

I would use enums here, not magic numbers.
Are you trying to extract the text held in JTextFields? If so, perhaps returning String is all you need. This you can parse via the wrapper classes (i.e., Integer.parseInt(...) and Double.parseDouble(...))

Combine two ints into a long without using chars or strings.

Hi
I have two ints and i need to combine (not add) them into a long value. The reason for this is because I need the make keys for a DB containing both values.
eg.
int1 = 3567453647
int2= 6368535795
long combination = combine(int1, int2);
and the value of combination should be 35674536476368535795
I know you can doing it by turning the ints into strings, combining the strings and then using the combined string as intput to a new Long(String) but I really need a faster way using pure maths (maybe bit shift?) as this combination function will be used billions of times.
Thanks

That being said (and mocked), the binary shift left solution seems correct (although I'd definitely go for a custom class and double-column key instead).

How to convert an int variable into String type

hi everybody
i want to know how to convert an interger variable into string variable
i have to implement a code which goes like this
Chioce ch;
for(int i=0;i<32;i++)
// here i need a code to convert the int variable i into a string variable
ch.add(String variable);
how do i convert that int variable i into a String type variable??
can anyone help me?

Different methods:
int a;
string s=a+"";or
String.valueOf(int) is the better option because Int.toString() generated an intermediate object to get the endresult

I don't understand why you need load the XML and XLS files into a String. A Transformer can be constructed from a Source and there is a StreamSouce which can be constructed from an InputStream. The transform() method can take a Source as input and can produce a Result. There is no need to go near a String representation of either the input.

How to change elements in ArrayList into String

Greetings,
i like to change elements in arrayList into string.
This is how i declare an ArrayList in a Java file
ArrayList listing = new ArrayList();below is just a simple example of how i insert the string into the arraylist
String concat = "';
concat = concat + "apple";
//Transfer the concat string into arraylist
listing.add(concat);
return listing;
{code}
On my Jsp page, it will receive the ArrayList from the java file. Lets say the Arrayist is pass into my JSP arraylist
This is my JSP arraylist
{code}ArrayList optLists = new ArrayList();{code}
Inside the arraylist element, it holds data eg: *308577;;RS | [CAT 2] Level: Arena, Section: A02* with a pipe between RS and CAT 2.
Now i looping the arraylist
{code}int a = 0;
     for ( a=0; a < optLists.size(); a++)
          String tempString = "";
          String splitTemp = "";
                 String tempString = (String)optLists.get(a);
          splitTemp = tempString.split("|");
          System.out.println("Split String Results: "+ splitTemp);
     {code}}
Heres the error:
*SeatAvailable_jsp.java:560: incompatible types*
    *[javac] found   : java.lang.String[]*
    *[javac] required: java.lang.String*
    *[javac]             splitTemp = tempString.split("|");*
    *[javac]*
What can i do to solve the problem?

paternostro is right, you are returning an array into a string which is wrong
but try this, i haven't tested it though..
nt a = 0;
     for ( a=0; a < optLists.size(); a++)
          String tempString = "";
          String splitTemp = "";
                 String tempString = (String)optLists.get(a);
          String[] splitTemp = tempString.split("|");
          for(String xyz : splitTemp)
               System.out.println("Split String Results: "+ xyz);

Int to string to string array

Sorry, if my question is too wordy.
First, the problem -- I am reading integers into my application and converting the those into strings using valueOf(). I then need to use those strings in a switch statment. The only way I could figure how to do this was to use the same String variable in each switch statement but change the the message to fit each case. My professor suggested I use an array list instead.
Second, the question -- how can I convert the String I have generated into a String Array and use the indexing of the array to correspond to the specific text for each case?
Thank you.

indeed, you can't use the switch mechanism on strings.
but, if the requirement is that you convert an integer into a string and then switch on those (I don't know why...) from an array of the values, swap the String value back into an int and switch from there.

Best way to put binary-data into string?

Hi there!
What I want to do is to transfer binary data via HTTP/GET so what I have to do is to transfer binary data into a string.
Currently I do this the follwing way:
      byte[] rawSecData = new byte[4]; //any binary datas
      ByteArrayOutputStream secBOS = new ByteArrayOutputStream(4);
      DataOutputStream secDOS = new DataOutputStream(secBOS);
      for(int i=0; i < rawSecData.length; i++)
        secDOS.writeByte(rawSecData);
secDOS.flush();
String secData = secBOS.toString();
System.err.println("Lenght of resulting String: "+secData.length());
I know that this way already worked fine, however I now set up my system up again with another linux-distro and now strange things happen.
e.g. the secData string differs in lenght from run-to-run between 2 and 4 and I don know at all why?
Transferring the binary-stuff into string-stuff (e.g. short-binary 255 255, String: 65536) is not possible for me because of various reasons.
The funny thing is that I remeber that this already worked some time ago and I can figure out why it now doesnt...
Please help!

First of all thanks a lot for your help!
Yes, I already think its an encoding problem, but how can I specify the encoding in my application in a portable way. I dont have an idea what to do.
My applikation should run as applet on many different 1.1+ VMS (msjvm, netscape-1.1.5, ...).

My prime issue is to convert the values in the arraycollection into String variables.
Please help me on the ablve matter..! Thanks in advance..!

fromStation and toStation are already Strings, but you are attempting to cast an ArrayCollection entry to a SectorsVO object. The problem is that SectorsVO has a no-arg constructor and the entry that you are attemping to cast is not of type SectorsVO. You need to modify the constructor to accept an Object and manually assign values to the properties.
It sounds like you are trying to build a CSV string out of all of the values of one of the fields. What you can do is loop through the draggedSectors and pull out the desired property, placing it into a temporary Array. After the loop, simply use Array.join(",") to produce a CSV string.

How to format an int into something of this nature 12,000

Does any one know how to format an int into a specifically formatted String?
let say:
int i = 12000
I want:
Sting s = $ 12,000
Thanks for your help!!

Yes, you use a DecimalFormat object. It's in the java.text package, and the API documentation has a lot of information about how to use it.
