Android how to convert int to String? [duplicate]

Question

I have an int and I want to convert it to a string. Should be simple, right? But the compiler complains it can't find the symbol when I do:

int tmpInt = 10;
String tmpStr10 = String.valueOf(tmpInt);

What is wrong with the above? And, how do I convert an int (or long) to a String?

Edit: valueOf not valueof ;)

What happens if you do this String tmpStr10 = tmpInt+""; Simply concatenating an empty string at the end. — Jay

Use this String.valueOf(value);

Normal ways would be Integer.toString(i) or String.valueOf(i).

int i = 5;
String strI = String.valueOf(i);

Or

int aInt = 1;    
String aString = Integer.toString(aInt);

You called an incorrect method of String class, try:

int tmpInt = 10;
String tmpStr10 = String.valueOf(tmpInt);

You can also do:

int tmpInt = 10;
String tmpStr10 = Integer.toString(tmpInt);

Use Integer.toString(tmpInt) instead.
