Android :: Java Datetime Values From String To Long To String
Oct 1, 2010In 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.

Android :: String Resources Do Not Update When Orientation Changes / What To Fix It?
Apr 29, 2010I 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?
Android :: Extracting String Resources To A Jar - Referencing Error
Jan 27, 2009I'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 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Use Multiple Files To Store String Values
Jun 23, 2009Is it possible to store strings values in multiple files? Eg, strings.xml, strings1.xml, strings2.xml etc.
I do not mean localized versions of the same file - those multiple files should contain different string ids in the same language, so in code they would be refered like: R.strings1.my_string_1 R.strings1.my_string_2 R.strings2.my_string_3 etc. So, "strings1", "strings2", "strings3" would be a kind of namespace for them.
Or, another way is to have multiple R classes inside one project, which would deal with different stringsXXX.xml files.
Like, currently we can refer to "my.name.space.R" and to "android.R" at the same time, so is it possible to have: android.R my.name.space1.R my.name.space2.R etc
At the same time inside single project?
Android :: Unable To Manage To Put A String With Double Quotes In A Resources File
Oct 31, 2009I'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?
Android :: Loading String Values From File Instead Of List In Class
Nov 1, 2010I 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.
Android :: String Arrays Do Not Allow Illegal Java Names As Values
Dec 13, 2009Does 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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: String Resource ID Values Guaranteed To Be Consistent Over Different Projects
Jun 7, 2010I have some messages being passed back from my server through php. The problem is that the messages are in English and if the user is using another language they will still get the message in English.
So I had an idea that maybe instead of passing back the message I would instead pass the String resource Id from the android app, that way the app will get the correct string id for their language. I will use this in a number of apps so I just want to know if the string id is guaranteed to be the same across different android projects?

Android :: Storing Short Strings And Numeric Values In Resources
Jan 11, 2010I 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).
