Please read the Announcement topic at the top of the sub-forum to learn how to post your code tags along with other useful stuff for newcomers.

What problems are you having? Are you getting errors? If so, please post them. Otherwise, describe what is or is not happening that you would like to change. Describe the steps necessary to duplicate the failure with the code you've posted.

--- Update ---

So you have a char y that needs to be "turned into" an int num. Or, you could back up a step and parse each character (as a String object) from the String intX directly using substring() method. I would try that to eliminate the char step entirely.
