Is it possible to view int as decimal AND hexadecimal at the same time in intellij?
debugging, intellij-idea, java
Solution
No, it's not possible.
When debugging, you can right click on an integer variable and choose `View As >` and either `Hex` or `Primitive`, not both.
This setting only applies to the single variable and doesn't seem to persist through different debugging sessions.
I had a look at the possibility of using a Data Type Renderer (right click a variable and go in to `Customize Data Views...` to see the dialog).
A Data Type Renderer only applies to complex data types (not primitives). So if for example your `int` that you wanted to see `38` and `0x26` was always part of a complex object (e.g. `Person.age`) then perhaps a data type renderer could help.
Alternatively you could add a String watch expression that constructs a String value for both the decimal and hex value of your int.
Sorry that there is not a way to do exactly what you want but I hope these 2 other suggestions are useful to consider.
Problem
When debugging in intellij, I can tell it to display a given int variable with its decimal value or its hex value. Is it possible for the debugger to display BOTH at the same time?
