12,145 PointsConverting from int to string?
I can't figure out how to convert mSpaceship.getNumPassengers from int to a string type. I read a previous answer that said to use +"", but I can't figure out the how to use the syntax?
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class LandingActivity extends Activity {
public Button mThrustButton;
public TextView mTypeLabel;
public EditText mPassengersField;
public Spaceship mSpaceship;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_landing);
mThrustButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.thrustButton);
mTypeLabel = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.typeTextView);
mPassengersField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.passengersEditText);
// Add your code here!
mSpaceship = new Spaceship("FIREFLY");
mTypeLabel.setText(mSpaceship.getType());
mPassengersField.setText(mSpaceship.getNumPassengers());
}
}
public class Spaceship {
private String mType;
private int mNumPassengers = 0;
public String getType() {
return mType;
}
public void setType(String type) {
mType = type;
}
public int getNumPassengers() {
return mNumPassengers;
}
public void setNumPassengers(int numPassengers) {
mNumPassengers = numPassengers;
}
public Spaceship() {
mType = "SHUTTLE";
}
public Spaceship(String type) {
mType = type;
}
}

Courses Plus Student 9,590 Pointsint mainInt = 123456789; // Type 1 String string1 = "" + mainInt; // Type 2 String string2 = "123"; // Type 3 String string3 = Integer.toString(mainInt); // Type 4 String string4 = String.valueOf(mainInt); // Type 5 String string5 = String.format("%d", mainInt); // Type 6 StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); sb.append(mainInt); String string6 = sb.toString();
////////////////////////////// In your's case ////////////////////// mPassengersField.setText(mSpaceship.getNumPassengers()+""); ///////////////////////////// OR ///////////////////////////////////// mPassengersField.setText(""+mSpaceship.getNumPassengers());
Good Luck
