Java have a int value using setText

Question

I\'m trying to set an int value using jTextField and the setText method. But of course setText wants a String. How do I get round this? I\'ll give you a snippet of the code:

Answer 1

Setting an int converting it to a String not a big deal. Displaying a value is a problem. To take care of how the value is displayed properly in the textfield you may use a DecimalFormat to format the numeric value. But may be the number is locale specific then you need NumberFormat instance

NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(locale);
nf.setMaximumIntegerDigits(12);
nf.setMaximumFractionDigits(0);
nf.setMinimumFractionDigits(0);
String s = nf.format(e.getNoOfSeats());
seatsTF.setText(s);

You may also need to read the tutorial on how to use the DecimalFormat.
