Left padding integers with zeros in Java

I have a problem. i am working on a android app

I have a long timestap and a string that i need to combine. The catch is that if the long is less than 8 digits, then i need to display 0’s to make it look good.

Example

long time = 311;

how can i fill it out so it will be

00000311

long time2 = 3111

00003111

I hope any of you an help me with it since i been trying to find a solution for it for over an hour now..

Answer 1

String.format("%08d", long time /*YourNumber*/);

%08d : zero-padding with length=8.
