Convert Long into Integer

Question

How to convert a Long value into an Integer value in Java?

Answer 1

Integer i = theLong != null ? theLong.intValue() : null; 

or if you don't need to worry about null:

// auto-unboxing does not go from Long to int directly, so Integer i = (int) (long) theLong; 

And in both situations, you might run into overflows (because a Long can store a wider range than an Integer).

Java 8 has a helper method that checks for overflow (you get an exception in that case):

Integer i = theLong == null ? null : Math.toIntExact(theLong);
