I have a resources file called string.xml in res/values directory
the file has many string resources
how can I obtain these items in an array from code ?
I tried
Field[] x=R.string.class.getFields();
but it does not work.

I'm probably missing something obvious, but for some reason I don't manage to put a string with double quotes in a resources file.
strings.xml: <resources> <string name="message_empty_folder">Folder "%s" is empty.</string> </resources>
LIstFolderActivity.java: String format = getResources().getString (R.string.message_empty_folder); System.out.println(format);
Log output: Folder %s is empty.
What's eating up the double quotes?
If there's anyway way I to access the String values of String resources statically? e.g. a static equivalent of Context.getString(...)?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to have some static numeric and text values as an application resource. For example my data is like this:
Levels 5 First_Level 500 60 1 Second_Level 500 80 1 Third_Level 200 60 1 Fourth_Level 130 30 2 Final_Level 100 30 3... and another 300 lines...
The format and order of the data is predefined and guaranteed to be valid.
I could read it with java.util.Scanner, but it's extremely slow in Android, reading a 10 KB file takes minutes. It's slow because of the regular-expression-based pattern matching inside (when I traceview'ed it).
For example code...
How can I get the resource by its name?
Without using R.raw.yuri = (int)
I have used the method specified on the Resource and I18N page (http:// developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/resources-i18n.html) to specify separate strings.xml resource files for when the orientation is landscape vs. portrait. When the activity starts, it will display the strings correctly based on the orientation at that time. But if the orientation changes, the strings do not change to start using the new resource file. Instead, they continue to use the resource file that was valid when the activity started.
Is there some function I can call to reload the string resources based on the current configuration, or am I going about this entirely the wrong way?
I'm just about to start externalizing all my String-resources to a new project and then bring them back by including the exported jar-file of this 'i18n'-project. Doing so i18n for different languages becomes easier (I could simply export just a handful of languages to the jar). can successfully change the java-references to the outsourced foo.bar.i18n.R.java BUT, all references of the xml-layouts fail Sample: ############ android:label="@string/app_name"> ############ where: "@string/app_name" is now unknown =/ I'm asking myself whether this is possible and how to resolve my issue / properly reference the externalized string-resources.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDear 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.

Something of the form...

I just had the odd case that my Android project for some reason would not properly rebuild in Eclipse (v3.5/Galileo). Occasionally that happen and so I did the usual Project => Clean... as I always do in such cases. But this time I now have the odd effect that almost all files show bugs, and looking closer it's that the compiler can't find the R-file (which is indeed missing from the gen subtree). How do I force eclipse to rebuild that file?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen debugging I've sometimes wanted a tool that would list running tasks and show which activities are on the history stack for each task. I can get a list of tasks by calling ActivityManager.getRunningTasks(). Each ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo object in the list gives me interesting information such as the base activity, top activity, and number of activities in the task. I haven't found a way to actually enumerate all the activities in the task's history stack. Is there a way to get at such information?

View 2 Replies View Relatedby 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a text file that I am pulling from my SD card which contains an array in plain text format. Here are the contents of that file ...

I am trying to import that text file into a String, convert that String to an array, and then load that array into a list adapter. If I try to split up readString or a trimmed result of readString, I get a forced close every time. If I copy the contents of the file into a String and then use that ... everything works as expected. So what is the difference between loading this stuff from a text file, and loading it from an included string? Is it a byte conversion issue? Code...
I think I have a pretty easy problem to solve, but I have been beating my head against the wall for hours trying to get past it! I have an adapter that loads a list of URLS:
adapter=new MyAdapter(this, lStrings);
list.setAdapter(adapter);
The list of URLS looks like this:
private String[] lStrings={
"http://www.domain.com/file1.jpg",
"http://www.domain.com/file2.jpg",
"http://www.domain.com/file3.jpg",
};
What I want instead is to load these values from a text file that lies on the SD card. For that matter, I would be okay with loading the values from a text file into a String, and then load the String into the list as I imagine that would be the "cleaner approach". However, all attempts to do this have failed. For instance, I replaced the above snippet with this:
private String[] lStrings=
{ MainActivity.this.getString(R.string.myurllist) };
but then I get a Forced Close on loading.
I'm a bit new to Java, Android, and development in general.
I am trying to inject a long text entry into a SQLite database, in a TEXT field. This text has new lines in it (i.e. it spans multiple paragraphs). I can get the new lines to show up if I do the INSERT manually:
INSERT INTO "LOGENTRY" VALUES(5,40,'PLACE','line1
line2
line4
',1283990533315,'4A','TEXT','',NULL);
but if I have the equivalent text in a CSV file and attempt to .import it into the table, I get an error that it's expecting more columns than exist (as soon as the new line is encountered, the program assumes it's the end of the input and thus it's missing columns). Is this possible? Or is the only way to manually do each INSERT?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn my Android project, I want to loop through the entire collection of Drawable resources. Normally, you can only retrieve a specific resource via its ID using something like:

In Android, capturing date from datepicker and storing as string in sqlite. Sorting by date doesn't work because they're strings (unless I'm doing it wrong.I've googled this issue for ~5 days, and it looks like there should be a way to capture the date from the date picker, convert it to a Long, store it in sqlite as a Long, select and sort on the Long date value, then convert the Long back to a "mm/dd/yyyy" string for display. I've tried various combinations of parse statements, Date, FormatDate, etc. with no luck at all.On activity start, get today's date and display it in button which calls the datepicker.Capture new date from datepicker (if one is entered), save it as a long to sqlite.On opening an activity showing a listview of records, select from sqlite with orderby on date (Long), convert Long to "mm/dd/yyyy" string for display in ListView.
