Does Integer.parseInt(String) creates object?
<p>I am using <code>int duration = Integer.parseInt(durationInString)</code> to convert String object to primitive integer value. I am using this in a while loop and the integer conversion happens every second until the end of video duration. For example - if Video is 2 min I will call <code>Integer.parseInt</code> 120 times. 
I wanted to know if every call to <code>Integer.parseInt</code> creates a object? If so is it a bad idea to have it called continuously?</p>

<p>Any help is very much appreciated.</p>

<p>Note: I am working on Android application</p>

<p>Thanks,
SKU  </p>
