How to convert / cast long to String?

Question

I just created sample BB app, which can allow to choose the date.

DateField curDateFld = new DateField(\"Choose Date: \",
  System.currentTimeMillis(), DateF         


        

Answer 1

1.

long date = curDateFld.getDate();
//convert long to string
String str = String.valueOf(date);

//convert string to long
date = Long.valueOf(str);

2.

 //convert long to string just concat long with empty string
 String str = ""+date;
//convert string to long

date = Long.valueOf(str);
