Try Integer.toString(a) or String.valueOf(a)

you can try this

from int to string

int a=3;
String s=a+"":

from int to char

char c = (char)(((int)'0')+a);

however here the value of 'a' should be a single digit number

The right way to convert an int to a char is using the Character.forDigit method.

char b = Character.forDigit(a,10);

you can convert it in different way like:

1) built-in convert

int a1 = 5;
String s = ""+a1;

2) integer convert

int a2 = 5;
String s2 = Integer.toString(a2);

3) format convert

int a3 = 9;
String s3 =String.format("%d", a3);

Also one possible solution is:

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("");
sb.append(i);
String strI = sb.toString();

or simply

Integer i;
String s = i.toString();

or

int aInt = 1;
String aString = Integer.toString(aInt);

and for a String, you could use
String newString = String.valueOf(a);

One more thing is:
In-fact String.valueOf() method is overloaded to accept almost all primitive type so you can use it convert char, double, float or any other data type into String. Static binding is used to call corresponding method in Java. Here is an example of int to String using String.valueOf().

String price = String.valueOf(123);

instead of 123 you can also pass int variable
