Simple function java String to Int / Reverse



I want to generate a String with 11 digits from an ID. For example : an account with an ID=12 give 00000000012





And after that I need to retrieve this id from the string.





For example : a string with 00000000022 give an ID=22

  1. To format the string, use String.format:

    int n = 123;
    String.format("%011d", 123);
    // ===> 00000000123


    To get the number back from string, use Integer.parseInt:

    Integer.parseInt("00000000123");
    // ====> 123

  2. Depending on how many leading zeroes:

    int id = 12;
    String number = "000000000" + id;


    To get the int back:

    Integer.parseInt(number)

  3. As mentioned in the other answer from String to int use Integer.parseInt()

    However, for creating the String I would suggest:

    for(int x=0;x<10;x++){
    thestring="0"+thestring;
    }


    replace 10 with how many zeros you need.

    Also you could just use java.text.DecimalFormat, your choice.

    Or combine both:

    int lengthID=10;
    String zeros="";
    for(int x=0;x<lengthID;x++){
    zeros="0"+zeros;
    }
    java.text.DecimalFormat id=new java.text.DecimalFormat(zeros);

Slow Android emulator

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?
