How about BigInteger(integer.toString()); ?

Ed!

Uh, lets think about this.
You have an int.
Wrap it into a Integer object.
Convert the Integer to a String object.
Ask BigInteger to parse the String object;
done.

Versus.
How about BigInteger.valueOf(integer);

You have an int.
Wrap it with a BigInteger object.
done.
