解决java的Long.getLong(str)的NullPointerException错误

问题：long temp = Long.getLong("1366937075");出现空指针NullPointerException错误

解决：用Long.parseLong(String str)替换。

疑问：Long tmp = Long.getLong("1366937075");这个返回也为null，为什么？

Long.getLong() failing, returning null to valid string

I've spent the past two hours debugging what seems extremely unlikely. I've stripped the method of a secondary Android Activity to exactly this:
 
         
public void onClick(View v) {
        String str = "25";
        long my_long = Long.getLong(str);
} // onClick (v)
 
         
And yeah, I get a crash with the good ol' NullPointerException:
 
         
09-11 02:02:50.444: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1588): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception 09-11 02:02:50.464: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1588): java.lang.NullPointerException
 
         
It looks like (from other tests) that Long.getLong(str) returns NULL, which is driving me bonkers. WHAT AM I MISSING?
 
         
Thanks in advance. I'm okay with stupidly missing the obvious, but my sanity is on the line.

             use Long.parseLong(str); instead of Long.getLong(str);

You are missing the fact that Long.getLong(String str) is not supposed to parse a String to a long, but rather to return a long value of a system property represented by that string. As others have suggested, what you actually need is Long.parseLong(String str).

I think you are using wrong function use Long.parseLong(str) then you can get the right answer.

you can use Long.parsLong(String) instead of getLong(String) it will solve the problem

Long.parseLong(someString) approved. Don't forget to catch NumberFormatException if there's a probability of unparsable string.
