This is not an issue with the long but rather the actual number you wrote
in.
Try this instead
long myvalue = Long.parseLong("1021888800000000002");

Subject: assigning a value to a long type variable
I know it might sound like a weird/simple question...but here's my
problem :
that's what im trying to do
long myvalue = 1021888800000000002;
this value is way smaller than Long.MAX_VALUE...
here's the compilation error i get at runtime:
Integer literal out of range. Decimal
int literals must be in the range -2147483648 to 2147483647.
long myvalue = 1021888800000000002;
^
there must be a way to do it?
Regards
Ben
