In actual fact, the constructor for Long(String) uses Long.parseLong(String) to convert the string into a long first! Creating a Long object just to parse a string is a waste of perfectly good CPU cycles; Long.parseLong() should do the job.
Without more information it's difficult to say what's wrong.
