Long.getLong() failing, returning null to valid string

Question

I\'ve spent the past two hours debugging what seems extremely unlikely. I\'ve stripped the method of a secondary Android Activity to exactly this:

Answer 1

You are missing the fact that Long.getLong(String str) is not supposed to parse a String to a long, but rather to return a long value of a system property represented by that string. As others have suggested, what you actually need is Long.parseLong(String str).
