Way to get number of digits in an int?

Question

Is there a neater way for getting the number of digits in an int than this method?

int numDigits = String.valueOf(1000).length();

Here's a really simple method I made that works for any number:

public static int numberLength(int userNumber) {

    int numberCounter = 10;
    boolean condition = true;
    int digitLength = 1;

    while (condition) {
        int numberRatio = userNumber / numberCounter;
        if (numberRatio < 1) {
            condition = false;
        } else {
            digitLength++;
            numberCounter *= 10;
        }
    }

    return digitLength; 
}

The way it works is with the number counter variable is that 10 = 1 digit space. For example .1 = 1 tenth => 1 digit space. Therefore if you have int number = 103342; you'll get 6, because that's the equivalent of .000001 spaces back. Also, does anyone have a better variable name for numberCounter? I can't think of anything better.

Edit: Just thought of a better explanation. Essentially what this while loop is doing is making it so you divide your number by 10, until it's less than one. Essentially, when you divide something by 10 you're moving it back one number space, so you simply divide it by 10 until you reach <1 for the amount of digits in your number.

Here's another version that can count the amount of numbers in a decimal:

public static int repeatingLength(double decimalNumber) {

    int numberCounter = 1;
    boolean condition = true;
    int digitLength = 1;

    while (condition) {
        double numberRatio = decimalNumber * numberCounter;

        if ((numberRatio - Math.round(numberRatio)) < 0.0000001) {
            condition = false;
        } else {
            digitLength++;
            numberCounter *= 10;
        }
    }
    return digitLength - 1;
}
