How to convert / cast long to String?

I just created sample BB app, which can allow to choose the date.

DateField curDateFld = new DateField("Choose Date: ",
  System.currentTimeMillis(), DateField.DATE | DateField.FIELD_LEFT);

After choosing the date, I need to convert that long value to String, so that I can easily store the date value somewhere in database. I am new to Java and Blackberry development.

long date = curDateFld.getDate();

How should I convert this long value to String? Also I want to convert back to long from String. I think for that I can use long l = Long.parseLong("myStr");?

String strLong = Long.toString(longNumber);

Simple and works fine :-)

1.

long date = curDateFld.getDate();
//convert long to string
String str = String.valueOf(date);

//convert string to long
date = Long.valueOf(str);

2.

 //convert long to string just concat long with empty string
 String str = ""+date;
//convert string to long

date = Long.valueOf(str);

String logStringVal= date+"";

Can convert the long into string object, cool shortcut for converting into string...but use of String.valueOf(date); is advisable

Just do this:

String strLong = Long.toString(longNumber);
