I am new to Java and Android. I have a flat file (pipe-delimited) stored in R.raw called word list.text. I want to open this file and quickly search for a word I pass into my procedure. I've been searching for a simple way to do this but not having much luck. Can anyone share some code on how to do this?

I my android application,i would like to read a text file which is placed on the sdcard. Read the file to search for a string: "some string" and would like to get the value for that string.
Is there any way that i can do that in android.
How do I save the contents of an array to a file and then read it again later? I have a small amount of data that will need to be stored and since I have no idea where to start on using a SQLite database, I think this will work a lot better.

But there should be some way because eclipse shows it in human readable format to the end user. I can't figure how to read it using Java.
What do I do to be able to read all lines from a file? With this code I have below I can only get the first line of the text file when I use mReadString later on. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there another way? code...
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am creating an application for the android, and would like it to be able to read a text file via anonymous FTP. I've tried URLConnection, but it doesn't seam to be working. After some Google searching it appears that URLConnection doesn't always work with some FTP servers. All of the java FTP connection libraries I've found require you to download the file to a local location before reading it. However I would like to have the same functionality as URLConnection in that I can just use the following similar code...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to read a file "words.txt" from a resource. It is a very simple, but large (2 MB), text file that I want to read line by line. I have put the file into /res/raw/words.txt, and try to open it with the following code:
CODE:...................
However, I get a java.io.IOException. This is not a "resource not found" exception, so the resource is opened correctly, but the readLine() produces the error.
I tried using the InputStream itself, with the result that read() produces -1, which stands for EOF, as if the file was empty.
I have a text file added as a raw resource. The text file contains text like:
a) IF APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES ANY WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, ALL SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF DELIVERY.
b) NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY VIRTUAL ORIENTEERING, ITS DEALERS, DISTRIBUTORS, AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF ANY WARRANTY PROVIDED HEREIN.
c) (USA only) SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY
NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
On my screen I have a layout like this:
CODE:........
The code to read the raw resource is:

The text get's showed but after each line I get a strange character [] How can I remove that character ? I think it's New Line.

Is there a way to do it within an app without downloading the file first? Somehow stream the text content?

But when using the DDMS perspective, "File Explorer" View, I can't see anything in the "data" directory, I'm assuming because permission denied. Is there a way (short of rooting my ion device) to read what's in that text file?
Is there perhaps an android app for developers that will show the contents of the file? It would seem there would have to be some way of reading the file without rooting the device, otherwise why does the o.s. write it out? How can I read this file?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am new to Android, being an iOS aficionado who decided to give Android a try.
I am slowly but surely getting the hang of things. One thing, however, has me baffled: how do I quickly search for content on my device ( namely, contacts, apps, calendar entries, etc).
With iOS you merely swipes to the left of the home screen and type in the search box there what you're looking for. How do I do something similar with Android? I've tried the Google gesture search app, but it doesn't seem to bring up results very reliably.

I have created a app that displays all the content from res/raw folder. I need that when I click on .doc file it should open and I can view its content. I have ThinkFree.
Enter code here:

public static final Field[] fields = R.raw.class.getFields();
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

} @Override

I want to display a keypad with numbers and mathematical operations and when the user presses the keys the corresponding number is displayed in edit text.

Also how do I read the contents of button so as to do mathematical operations in code?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a class that extends View. I override the onDraw method and allow the user to draw on the screen. I am at the point where I want to save this view as an image. I Can use buildDrawingCache and getDrawingCache to create a bitmap that I can write to the SD card. However, the image is not good quality at a large size, it has jagged edges. Since I have a View and I use Paths I can transform all by drawing to a bigger size. I just don't know how to make the Canvas bigger so when I call getDrawingCache it doesn't crop all the paths I am just transformed. What is happening is I transform all my paths but when I write the Bitmap to file I am only getting the "viewport" of the actual screen size. I want something much bigger.
