[java] How to Convert an int to a String?

I have an int variable and when I am setting this variable as an Android TextView's text it's throwing an error, maybe because it's an Int. I have checked but couldn't find a toString function for the int. So how can I do that?

int sdRate=5;
//text_Rate is a TextView
text_Rate.setText(sdRate); //gives error

may be you should try like this

int sdRate=5;
//text_Rate is a TextView
text_Rate.setText(sdRate+""); //gives error

Use the Integer class' static toString() method.

int sdRate=5;
text_Rate.setText(Integer.toString(sdRate));

You have two options:

1) Using String.valueOf() method:

int sdRate=5;
text_Rate.setText(String.valueOf(sdRate));  //faster!, recommended! :)

2) adding an empty string:

int sdRate=5;
text_Rate.setText("" + sdRate)); 

Casting is not an option, will throw a ClassCastException

int sdRate=5;
text_Rate.setText(String.valueOf((String)sdRate)); //EXCEPTION!

You can use

text_Rate.setText(""+sdRate);

Did you try:

text_Rate.setText(String.valueOf(sdRate));
