Conditionals. Any idea why I'm still getting numeric results instead of text?

Here's the portion of the code from the lesson.

Random randomGenerator = new Random(); //Construct a new random number generator int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(3);

            // if randomNumber equals 0 then
            if (randomNumber == 0) {
                // set answer to equal to Yes
                answer = "Yes";
            }
            else if (randomNumber == 1) {
                answer = "No";
            }
                else if (randomNumber == 2) {
                answer = "Maybe";
                }
                else {
                    answer = "Sorry, there was an error!";
                }

Thanks in advanced.

Stone, after reading your question I realized the problem. I didn't delete the integer line. I feel so dumb ha! Anyway, thanks again for replying quick and letting me realize the mistake :D

answer = Integer.toString(randomNumber);

answerLabel.setText(answer);
