Convert Long into Integer

Question

How to convert a Long value into an Integer value in Java?

Answer 1

If you care to check for overflows and have Guava handy, there is Ints.checkedCast():

int theInt = Ints.checkedCast(theLong);

The implementation is dead simple, and throws IllegalArgumentException on overflow:

public static int checkedCast(long value) {
  int result = (int) value;
  checkArgument(result == value, "Out of range: %s", value);
  return result;
}
