Talk:KIJ000873 - Value of TextField.NUMERIC is limited to 10 digits in Series 40

From Forum Nokia Wiki

I think the problem is not only limited to the number of digits but to the value itself, too:

If you call setString(...) on a TextField constrained to TextField.Numeric and the numeric value exceeds Integer.MAX_VALUE then an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

How to reproduce

   TextField textField = new TextField("Enter Number:", "", 10, TextField.NUMERIC);
   long n = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
   textField.setString(Long.toString(n));
   System.out.println("OK for Integer.MAX_VALUE, i.e. " + n);
   try {
       textField.setString(Long.toString(++n));
   }
   catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
       System.out.println("FAILED for Integer.MAX_VALUE + 1, i.e. " + n);
   }

Thank you for your feedback. The article has been updated.
