Yes, a cast would work, however I was wondering if there was an actual function that I could use to grab the value while passing it to another function, specifically this function:

saveItem.addAccelerator("activate",accelGroup,i,GdkModifierType.CONTROL_MASK,accelFlags);

That function contains the i variable from your function. Is there a simple function, or should I use a cast?
