Yes, it is possible. Just do it the traditional way. Use String.charAt() to get each character from the units place onwards and then multiply by a factor of 10 and keep summing till you reach the start of the string. Of course, you have to take care of special cases.
I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
You could write your own parser

ReplyDeleteYes you need to treat the String as a primitive character array. Then you need to construct a Long based on the index values.
