Hi, let's assume that I have the following code:

Uri uri = smth;
String s = "Uri is " + uri;

In this case line
String s = "Uri is " + uri;
means
String s = "Uri is " + uri.toString();

How do I recognize that I should call toString in the first example? resolveTypeBinding() for "uri" returns "... .Uri", but not "java.lang.String"

Are you asking about how a *tool* can recognize this situation?
Just look for a binary expression with operator "+", where the type of the overall expression is String.
Then if the right operand is not already a String, an invocation to StringBuilder.append(Object) will be generated, which internally may use toString().

Thanks, I was doing the same thing, but considered that I'm missing something, and there is a flag

Internally, the compiler has conversion flags like org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.lookup.TypeIds.Object2String, but those are not exposed in the public AST/bindings.
