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

I think you should write the code as

seatsTF.setText(e.getNoOfSeats().toString());

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

String#valueOf convert your int to String.

String.valueOf(e.getAge()); will return the string representation of the int argument.

seatsTF.setText(String.valueOf(e.Age()));
...

Answer 4

To convert Integer Value to String you should

MedicineTM medicine=tblmedicine.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem();

    txtmedicine.setText(medicine.getMID());
    txtDescription.setText(medicine.getDescription());
    txtQty.setText(String.valueOf(medicine.getQty()));  // this is what i did
    cmbApproval.setValue(medicine.getApproval());

Answer 5

Assuming age field is of type int, you could try something like:

        ageTF.setText( Integer.toString(e.getAge()) );

Answer 6

Normal ways would be

seatsTF.setText(Integer.toString(e.getNoOfSeats()));

or

seatsTF.setText(String.valueOf(e.getNoOfSeats()));

but, this can be achieved with a concatenation like this:

seatsTF.setText("" + e.getNoOfSeats());
