private String getHome() {

    File f = new File("/sdcard/download");

    File[] files = f.listFiles();

   for(int i=0; i < files.length; i++)

        //take the file name only
    long size = file.length()/1024;

    String newString = size.toString();



    //String path = getSharedPreferences(PREF_TAG, 0).getString(PREF_HOME,defaultHome);
    //if (path.length()>1 && path.endsWith("/")) {
    //  path = path.substring(0,path.length()-2);
    //}


    //File pathFile = new File(path);

    if (file.exists() && file.isDirectory())
        return path+size;
    else

    }
   return defaultHome;
}

Well, *is* it possible? What have you tried? Did it work? If not, why not? — , Dec 29 '11 at 07:26

The related questions have to do with "int", but it's the *exact same thing*. Consider that 99% of the post is *irrelevant* to actually answering the question. Only include what is relevant: I can't even see *which* part needs the conversions. — , Dec 29 '11 at 07:31

You may convert value of long type to String type using String.valueOf() or Long.toString() method.

String str1=String.valueOf(long_var);
String str2=Long.toString(long_var);

long size = f.length()/1024;
String s = String.valueOf(size);

You can do something like this

String newString  = String.valueOf(size);

or simply u can do String newString = size+"";

See for the doc in this link
