I just created sample BB app, which can allow to choose the date.
DateField curDateFld = new DateField("Choose Date: ",
System.currentTimeMillis(), DateField.DATE | DateField.FIELD_LEFT);
After choosing the date, I need to convert that long value to String, so that I can easily store the date value somewhere in database. I am new to Java and Blackberry development.
long date = curDateFld.getDate();
How should I convert this long value to String? Also I want to convert back to long from String. I think for that I can use long l = Long.parseLong("myStr");
?
See the reference documentation for the String class: String s = String.valueOf(date);
If your Long might be null and you don't want to get a 4-letter "null"
string, you might use Objects.toString
, like: String s = Objects.toString(date, null);
EDIT:
You reverse it using Long l = Long.valueOf(s);
but in this direction you need to catch NumberFormatException
String strLong = Long.toString(longNumber);
Simple and works fine :-)
Date
context this is the recommended practise to convert Long
to String
.
Long.toString()
The following should work:
long myLong = 1234567890123L;
String myString = Long.toString(myLong);
String.valueOf(myLong)
?
very simple, just concatenate the long to a string.
long date = curDateFld.getDate();
String str = ""+date;
1.
long date = curDateFld.getDate();
//convert long to string
String str = String.valueOf(date);
//convert string to long
date = Long.valueOf(str);
2.
//convert long to string just concat long with empty string
String str = ""+date;
//convert string to long
date = Long.valueOf(str);
String logStringVal= date+"";
Can convert the long into string object, cool shortcut for converting into string...but use of String.valueOf(date);
is advisable
String.valueOf
was the preferred approach but I noticed that just calls Long.toString
so maybe that's the simpler way.
Just do this:
String strLong = Long.toString(longNumber);
String longString = new String(""+long);
or
String longString = new Long(datelong).toString();
Success story sharing
Long.valueOf(String)
returns aLong
. If you want along
, useLong.parseLong(String)
.java.util.Objects
is only available since Java 7.ObjectUtils.toString(Object,String)
which is equivalent. -> commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-2.6/org/…, java.lang.String)
