Converting double to string

[Annie Hampton]

I have a double that I want to display on a UI component that is expecting a String. As in,
txtBox.setText("I want my double value displayed here");
Why can't I cast it? What do I need to do?
TIA!

use String.valueOf()

An even faster trick is to do this:

double d = 0.02;
String temp = "" + d;
System.out.println(" the number is " + temp );

If you simply concat an empty string with a double (or int or float) it will automatically make it into a String.

[Junilu Lacar]

double d = 0.02;
String temp = "" + d;
System.out.println(" the number is " + temp );

If you do this, you don't really need to use a temp variable. The "" + something form seems a little kludgy but that's probably just me.
