Why doesn't this work?

Hi I am making a simple Decimal to binary converter with a simple GUI in Java;

 

However I seem to have hit a snag that I hope one of you will be able to help with.

 

Main Class:

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;import javax.swing.JFrame;import java.awt.*;import javax.swing.*;public class mainClass{		static int decimal;		public static void main (String[]args){			//Input Box	String decimal =JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please Enter a Number: ", 				"Decimal to Binary Converter", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);				textBox.createWindow();	}}

GUI Class
 

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;import javax.swing.JFrame;import java.awt.*;import javax.swing.*;public class textBox {		public static void createWindow(){		JFrame frame = new JFrame("Decimal to Binary Converter");		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); 		 JLabel textLabel = new JLabel(mainClass.decimal + " In Binary is -> " + Integer.toString(mainClass.decimal, 2,				 SwingConstants.CENTER)); textLabel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 100)); 				 frame.getContentPane().add(textLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);				 frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null); 				 frame.pack(); 				 frame.setVisible(true); 				 	}}

 on the JFrame textLabel decolarion line above, I get the following error: 

 

"the method toString (int, int) in the type integer is not applicable for the arguments  (int,  int, int)"

 

I cannot figure out why

Well im no expert in Java, but aren't you passing too much parameters into the toString() function ?

I just deleted some of the parameters and it worked, thanks man!

The result of your program will be

 

"0 in binary is -> 0" - regardless of what you put in to the input box.

 

I can tell you why if you'd like?
