In this tutorial, we will see the various ways in which we can convert String to int(or Integer) in Java.
You can use any of the following ways :
– Using Integer.parseInt(string)
– Using Integer.valueof(string)
– Using Apache commons NumberUtils.toInt(string)
– Using Apache commons NumberUtils.createInteger(string)
– Using Guava library’s Ints.tryParse(string) method
– Using Integer.decode(string)
– Using new Integer(string)
Using Integer.parseInt(string)
String empId1 = "1001"; int intEmpId1 = Integer.parseInt(empId1); System.out.println(intEmpId1); Output : 1001
Integer.parseInt() will throw NumberFormatException in following cases:
/ Alphabets in the input.
Integer.parseInt("100AB");
//Input number is greater than the Integer range.
Integer.parseInt("2147483648");
//Number with decimal
Integer.parseInt("1.1");
//empty String
Integer.parseInt("");
//Blank space
Integer.parseInt(" ");
Using Integer.valueof(string)
String empId2 = "2001"; Integer integerEmpId2 = Integer.valueOf(empId2); System.out.println(integerEmpId2); Output : 2001
Using Apache commons NumberUtils.toInt(string)
String empId3 = "3001";
int intEmpId3 = NumberUtils.toInt(empId3);
System.out.println(intEmpId3);
Output :
3001
int intEmpId4 = NumberUtils.toInt(null);
System.out.println(intEmpId4);
Output :
0
int intEmpId5 = NumberUtils.toInt("1001ABC");
System.out.println(intEmpId5);
Output :
0
int intEmpId6 = NumberUtils.toInt("1001ABC", 10);
System.out.println(intEmpId6);
Output :
10
Using Apache commons NumberUtils.createInteger(string)
String empId4 = "4001"; Integer integerEmpId7 = NumberUtils.createInteger(empId4); System.out.println(integerEmpId7); Output : 4001
Using Guava library’s Ints.tryParse(string) method
String empId5 = "5001"; Integer integerEmpId8 = Ints.tryParse(empId5); System.out.println(integerEmpId8); Output : 5001
Using Integer.decode(string)
String empId6 = "6001"; Integer integerEmpId9 = Integer.decode(empId6); System.out.println(integerEmpId9); Output : 6001
Using new Integer(string)
String empId7 = "7001"; Integer integerEmpId10 = new Integer(empId7); System.out.println(integerEmpId10); Output : 7001
However, remember that this Integer constructor is deprecated since Java9.

String empId7 = "7001";
Integer integerEmpId10 = new Integer(empId7);
System.out.println(integerEmpId10);
// Alphabets in the input.

Summary
So, in this tutorial, we saw
– How we can convert String to int(or Integer) in Java.
– In most of the scenarios we can use Integer.parseInt() and Integer.valueOf(),if we want int or Integer
respectively from String and want to avoid dependency on third party libraries.
– NumberUtils. toInt() can be used in the scenarios ,where we don’t want our program to fail due NumberFormatException.

Hi…
I’m Elena gillbert.The Integer.parseInt() java method is used primarily in parsing a String method argument into an Integer object. The Integer object is a wrapper class for the int primitive data type of java API.Eventhough the conversion of String to Integer object is a basic stuff, I am suggesting that we should have a mastery on it.
