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();

Answer 1

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
