Displaying integer on toast

Question

Im trying to display a toast message with integer inside it This is how i tried to do it:

 Toast.makeText(this,bignum,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

But it keeps crash my app. Thanks for help!

Answer 1

Toast.makeText either takes a CharSequence or an int as its second argument.

However, the int represents a resource ID (such as R.string.hello_world).

The application crashes probably because no resource is found with that ID, since it's not an ID to start with, but an arbitrary integer.

In your case, use Toast.makeText(this,String.valueOf(bignum),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();.

Answer 2

you need a String

Toast.makeText(this, String.valueOf(bignum),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

otherwise android will try to look it up for a String with id bignum, in your strings.xml file

Answer 3

Try this to "cast" bignum to string:

Toast.makeText(this,"" + bignum,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Answer 4

You can do this:

Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "" + bignum, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
