Type mismatch: cannot convert from integer to boolean

Question

public boolean clearSelection() {
    int i = 0;
    if (!this.m_SelectedComps.isEmpty()) {
        i = 1;
        Iterator localIterator = this.m_SelectedComps.iter         


        

Answer 1

You can't type cast between integer and boolean in Java but you could use the following technique which I use oftenly:

To convert boolean into integer:

int i;
return i != 0;

To convert integer into boolean:

boolean b;
return b ? 1 : 0;
