How can I write the ArrayList count to LogCat?

Question

In testing a query that returns N records, I want to log the count of records returned, but this attempt to do so:

Button fetchVendorsByCoBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.fetchVendorsByCoBtn);
fetchVendorsByCoBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
        SQLiteHandlerVendors sqliteHandler = new SQLiteHandlerVendors(MainActivity.this, null, null, 1);
        ArrayList<Vendor> vens = sqliteHandler.findVendorsByCompanyName("[blank]");
        Log.i("Number of blankety-blank Vendors found", ((String) vens.size()));
    }
});

...fails with, "error: incompatible types: int cannot be converted to String"

...as does this:

Log.i("Number of matching Vendors found", ((String) vens.size()));

It would seem an int val would automatically get converted to String, and if not, at least a cast would work; but neither do.

How can I legally log this value?

Answer 1

Try

String.valueOf( vens.size());

or

Integer.toString( vens.size());

You can't assign an int to String.

Answer 2

Alternative minimalistic way:

vens.size() + ""

so your log would look like this:

Log.i("Number of matching Vendors found", vens.size()+"");

Answer 3

have you tried toString()

vens.size().toString()

Alternatively try doing this:

String.format("%d",vens.size());
