Android :: Creating Strings And Arrays
Sep 29, 2010
I am trying to create a information based application, I have 92 subjects, for these subjects I have 92 map locations and maybe as much as 400 url links. Currently I have created a class for each map location and a class for each url link, but this would mean I would have in excess of 500 classes, so what I want to do is split the subjects in four catergories ie. listview of about 23 in four tabs which I have done and create a class that gets the url based on the selection the use makes and do the same for the map locations.Do I need to put these in a xml using the id method and how do you call individual entries, i.e. would I need 500 Android:id is there an easier way?

Dear all, I'm making a simple file decoder for Android 2.2 that needs to find the filename of the encoded file from a header. This filename should then be used as the filename for the decoded file (as you would expect).The filename is identified by the substring name=, so the actual name starts 5 places after that. The line is read by a BufferedReader and temporarily stored in currLine.For some reason I can't understand nor find on the web, Strings do not always seem to be Strings.Gives no output file, nor an IO exception. The string is parsed properly though: from the System.out debugging lines.

I've got a map of about 500 entries. Strings are all very short (less than 5 chars).Its read-only data I want to read once at app-startup. What's the best way to store this so that loading this data is fast?I've tried storing the data in a CSV in res/raw but this takes about 700ms to parse on my N1, so I'm hoping there's a faster way.

Is it possible to reference other strings inside of strings.xml ?
Something of the form...
(If it did exist, there would of course be problems of circular, infinite definitions, etc. to beware of).

by which the resource "bar" becomes an alias for the resource named "foo".What I would for my app is a possibility to combine an existing resource prefix with different suffixes,where the resource "bar" would yield the string "foobar". Its clear that '+' doesn't work here but is there some other option to achieve such a string concatenation, so that one could define a bunch of string resources that have a common prefix?I realize of course that I could do such resource string concatenation at runtime but defining them statically in the resources would seem so much more elegant and simpler.

I am just trying to display a list from an array that I have in my arrays.xml. When I try to run it in the emulator, I get a force close message. If I define the array in the java file (String[] testArray = "one","two","three","etc";) it works, but when I use "String[] testArray = getResources().getStringArray (R.array.testArray); " it doesnt work.Here is my Java file:package com.xtensivearts.episode.seven;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;public class Episode7 extends ListActivity { String[] testArray = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.testArray); /** Called when the activity is first created. */

Arrays.copyOfRange() is unavailable in Android, so I'm wondering what the preferred method of copying arrays is. Manually over a loop, or System.arraycopy()? Also, what was the reason behind the decision to not include Arrays.* ?

I would like to create a list objects called Product (Listproducts).In the application I first have to create the list List products from XML file and then display the products on the map. One product can be located at several locations.Does anyone know what is the most appropriate way to create the structure (a list or linked list) which is the easiest to iterate through and enables to link the lists? The logic should work the following way:
1. Read each point from the list
2. Check which product belongs to the point
3. Display the product informations on the map

My app has large vertex arrays that are pre-computed before I even build the app for distribution. I'd like to store these in assets (recognizing the size limits of asset files) and read them in with minimal computation. Can I store them in binary, and just read them into an NIO buffer, and then wrap it for GL, or do I have to go through the whole compute intensive (?) process of reading it in, making a byte array, and converting that to an integer (in this case) array?

I recently created a program that gets medi-large amounts of xml data and converts it into arrays of Strings, then displays the data.The program works great, but it freezes when it is making the arrays (for around 16 seconds depending on the size).Is there any way I can optimize my program (Alternatives to string arrays etc.)

Does anybody know of a work around for the android xml file string array inability to process string <item>'s that are not legal java variable names If not, is this not a major bug? Why does an item in an array need to generate a reference id anyway? Isn't this redundant?

I am using a simple expandable list that is populated by two arrays ( group array for the groups and a multi dimensional children array for the child). The arrays are built dynamically in the program and some group items have more children than others. So I end up defining the highest number as the array size for the multidimensional child array. After populating the child array, some positions are left null, as there are no values for those group items (explained above). When I associate this with the expandable list adapter, the getChildView method throws a nullpointer exception when it comes across a position in child array that does noto have value. I have two questions:
1. Can I make the base adapter skip the shildview method if the value in that child is null? The current implementation of getchildView method has to return a view and even if I suppress the nullpointer exception, it adds a blank element in the child position in the list.
2. Is there a better way of associated multidimensional arrays that are populated at run time? The current set of examples only use hardcoded string array values. Even the cursor adapters examples use very basic setup.

In terms of efficiency, is it better to use arrays programmatically or through calls to xml files.
I'd prefer to use xmls for organisational reasons, but is there much of a performance hit.

I simply need to add floatArray1 to floatArray2 storing the result in floatArray2.. no third array. all arrays are one dimensional but are very large. probibly as large as the os will let me get away with. Max i would need is two float arrays with 40,000 floats each. but i could get away with 1/10th that i suppose minimum.Would love to do this in 1/30th or 1/60th of a second but that does not seem possible? Also if the code is JNI,NDK or OpenGL ES thats fine. does android have an assembly language or like machine code i could use somehow?

Is it possible to have an external strings.xml or something like that?I'd like to translate my application into several different languages, but the apk would become to large if I include all languages.I would instead like to be able to load languages on demand (from an external URL) and store them on the SD card.Is that possible in any way? How could I in that case use the new language?

In my XML values strings code, I have a string with some text that I want to have only a few of the words in color. I also want to have a new line for some of the text.
I can do things like: < b> my bold text < /b> and that works (leading space added for this post).
I try to tag the text with color but no color shows up and there are no errors.
CODE:.............
I also try adding a new line - I've tried things like:
< LF> some text, space at beginning only for this post < /LF>
< CR> this didn't work either < /CR>
< p> some text, space at beginning only for this post < p>
But, no new paragraph / new line, carriage rtn happens.

Im currently developing a system where the user will end up having large arrays( using android). However the JVM memory is at risk of running out, so in order to prevent this I was thinking of creating a temporary database and store the data in there. However, one of the concerns that comes to me is the SDcard limited by read and write. Also another problem that comes to mind is the overhead of such an operation. Can anyone clear up my concerns, as well as also suggest a possibly good alternative to handling large arrays ( in the end these arrays will be uploaded to a website by writing a csv file and uploading it).

I am a newb to Android and Java and want to write a funtion that will display a list based on a varable that I pass to the function. The function is below and the code below creates an array out of a string called type, but what I want to do is pass it a variable string and have it build a list based on that string. So if I wanted the type list I would say list_it("type")But if I try something like getResources().getStringArray (R.array.thelist); it doesn't work.Can someone point me in the right direction? public void list_it(String thelist){String[] types = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.type); ArrayAdapter<String> mAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list_item1, types);
setListAdapter(mAdapter);
ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);

Im new to android and java but moving along at full speed. My lack of experience is making some elementary tasks too repetitive.For example I want to be able to loop through the following snipit of code the problem is I want "i" replace the number "1" in g1m0+=1; so through each iteration g1m0 would become g2mo.I know this is a simple to the novices out there can you please give me some insight to shorten up my code here..

Maybe some of you has an application with quotations or jokes or something. I would like to make a similar. So how can I get the i. element of my string array (which is in arrays.xml)? I don't want to load the whole array in a String[], because it can be too big. Or it's not a good idea to put them into arrays.xml? How do you handle thousands of strings?

I'm trying to write an array of objects that implement Parcelable into a Parcel using writeParcelableArray.The objects I'm trying to write are defined (as you'd expect) as:public class Arrival implements Parcelable {All the right stuff in here this class compiles and acts fine And I'm trying to write them into a `Parcel' with: @Override public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) I completely don't understand this error message. Parcelable is an interface (not a class) so you can't extend it. Anyone have any ideas? UPDATE: I'm having basically the same problem when putting an ArrayList of Parcelables into an Intent:Intent i = new Intent();i.putParcelableArrayListExtra("locations", (ArrayList< Location> ) locations);Yields: The method putParcelableArrayListExtra(String, ArrayList< ? extends Parcelable >) in the type Intent is not applicable for the arguments (String, ArrayList< Location >)This may be because Location was the class I was working on above (that wraps the Arrivals), but I don't think so.

I'm trying to parse a web service response using SAXParser and get certain values, store them into an arraylist, then display them in a listview. Example XML being returned from web service:
<ArrayOfStrings>
<string>value</string>
<string>value</string>
<string>value</string>
</ArrayOfStrings>
Here is my SAXHandler class:
public class SAXHandler extends DefaultHandler {
private boolean outertag = false;
private boolean mytag = false;
ArrayList<String> alist;
public ArrayList<String> getList(){
return this.alist;
} @Override
public void startDocument() throws SAXException {
} @Override
public void endDocument() throws SAXException{
} //@Override
public void startElement(String namespaceURI, String localName, String qName, Attributes atts) throws SAXException {
if (localName.equals("ArrayOfString")){ this.outertag=true;
}else if (localName.equals("string")){ this.mytag=true;
} }
@Override
public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length) {
if (this.mytag){ String s = new String(ch, start, length);
alist.add(s);
} }
@Override public void endElement(String namespaceURI, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException {
if (localName.equals("ArrayOfString")){ this.outertag=false;
}else if (localName.equals("string")){ this.mytag=false;
} } }
And here's my method calling and returing my web service:
try{ URL url = new URL("xxxxxxx");
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
SAXHandler SAXHandler = new SAXHandler();
xr.setContentHandler(SAXHandler);
xr.parse(new InputSource(url.openStream()));
ArrayList<String> stateList = SAXHandler.getList();
aa = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, stateList);
RESTlist.setAdapter(aa);
I keep getting an exception and I don't know why. Can anyone give me a hand?
