What's the best way to check if a String represents an integer in Java?

Question

I normally use the following idiom to check if a String can be converted to an integer.

public boolean isInteger( String input ) {
    try {
        Integer.         


        

Answer 1

Another option:

private boolean isNumber(String s) {
    boolean isNumber = true;
    for (char c : s.toCharArray()) {
        isNumber = isNumber && Character.isDigit(c);
    }
    return isNumber;
}
