I want the "Module Code = " and "Result = " to be separated by a tab but whenever I run the code below it literally just outputs
"Module Code = Biology\tResult = 40.0"
public String toString()
{
return "Module Code = " + moduleCode + "\t" + "Result = " + result;
}
The problem is that you're viewing the value of the produced string in the BlueJ window. That window is good for debugging purposes, but it won't exhibit the same behavior that a proper output device would, especially with respect to characters such as newline, tabulation, etc. Those characters will still appear with their escape sequences, just like you typed them in your source code.
In other words, your toString() method is fine and it works as intended. If you want to see its results formatted properly, don't view them using BlueJ -- print them somewhere else. The console is a good choice:
System.out.println(module.toString());
Why won't “\t” create a new line?
well, that is because “\t” is a tabulation not a new line “\n”
if you need a new line try instead
return "Module Code = " + moduleCode + "\n" + "Result = " + result;

In my custom GET endpoint, I would like to return a String but, to "beautify" it, I would like to insert new line for each different information. I've tried with \n\r this way
return "Name of process definition: "+ obj.getString("processDefinitionName") + "\r\n" + "Start time of instance: " + obj.getString("startTime")
+ "||" + "End time of the instance: " + obj.getString("endTime") + "||" + "Total duration time(ms): " + obj.getInt("durationInMillis");
but it only prints a white space and the text is written on the same line. Why is it not working?
You have to use HTML tags to display new line on browser. You can use <br/> tag to add new line. Browser parses your response in HTML form.
I have a logging function in CSharp and Java that I use in walking the stack. How do I make each log print to a new line only. Below are my Java and CSharp Functions.
public static void LogFunctionCall(String parameters){
Object trace = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[3];
android.util.Log.i("##################" + trace.toString()+ "", parameters );
}
the java version is this
public static void LogFunctionCall(string parameters,
[System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CallerMemberName] string methodName = "",
[System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CallerFilePath] string sourceFilePath = "",
[System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CallerLineNumber] int sourceLineNumber = 0)
{
var stackFrame = new StackFrame(1);
var callerMethod = stackFrame.GetMethod();
var className = callerMethod.DeclaringType;
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC" + " " + className + " " + methodName + " " + sourceLineNumber + " " + parameters + "\n");
}
I code on a windows machine.
Please where exactly do I need to place the new line character. I tried this
public static void LogFunctionCall(String parameters){
Object trace = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[3];
android.util.Log.i("##################" + trace.toString()+ "", parameters + "\n" );
}
but I still saw some of the logs being clumped up on a single line.
Instead of \n, try \r\n (carriage return and newline). Some text editors will display differently, so the newline may be in there, but whatever app you're using to read the logs might not be displaying it correctly.
You could also try
System.lineSeparator();
I've seen instances where the /n won't work but the lineSep does.
Also, because it hasn't been mentioned, Environment.NewLine will give you the new line character that is configured for the current environment.
How can I automatically print without poping up dialog box or automatically accept print dialog? Here is some of my code:
if ("OUT".equals(rs.getString("empattendance"))) {
String date = dft.format(dNow);
String time = tft.format(dNow);
textArea.setText(date + "\n" + "\n" +
fullname +"\n" +
"Time In: " + time + "\n" +
"Status: "+ statusin +
"\n" +
"\n" +
"____________________\n" +
" Sign by Supervisor");
try {
//printing
Boolean complete = textArea.print();
if(complete){
}
else{
}
} catch (PrinterException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Login.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
and here's the screenshot of the current behaviour.
thanks
When I look at your code I have few thoughts before answer.
1) Do not use String. Better for comparing stuff is Enumerators I believe.
2) If you would like to set text to textArea previously create some method using StringBuilder for example which will be creating the String you would like to set. Joshua Bloch says
Item 15: minimize mutability (...) If a client requires performing expensive multi-stage operations on your class, expose them as primitive methods, or provide a mutable companion class (like StringBuilder for String).
And take a look at this topic for more.
3) To print data from textArea if I were you I would try to use this.
I believe that would help you
I have this statement:
s = s + "Id: " + lc.getID() + " Name: " + lc.getName() + "\n"
+ " Phone Number: " + lc.getPhone() + " Email: " + lc.getEmail() + "\n"
+ " Description: " + lc.getDescription() + "\n\n"
that prints this out:
Id: 1 Name: Eric
Phone Number: 8294038 Email: foo#gmail.com
Description: Cool guy Eric
I want to Bold only the titles (Id, Name, etc).
I tried this:
s = s + Html.fromHtml(" <b> Id: </b>" + lc.getID() + " <b> Name: </b>" + lc.getName() + "\n"
+ " Phone Number: " + lc.getPhone() + " Email: " + lc.getEmail() + "\n"
+ " Description: " + lc.getDescription() + "\n"
+ "\n\n");
But not only does it not bold, but it takes away the new lines (\n). Any ideas on how to get this done? Thanks.
Html.fromHtml() returns a Spanned object, designed to be put directly into a TextView or similar widget.
A Spanned is not a String.
By doing s = s + Html.fromHtml(...), you are saying "please parse this HTML into a Spanned, then throw out all the formatting to give me a String that I can concatenate onto some other String". That's not what you want -- you want to keep the formatting. But a Java String does not have formatting, and so ordinary string concatenation has no way to keep it.
Beyond that, as Manishika pointed out, newlines are ignored in HTML anyway, as you use HTML elements for vertical whitespace.
Your options include:
Generate a complete HTML snippet -- including whatever it is you are trying to concatenate it to -- and then use Html.fromHtml() on the entire thing. You may wish to use a template engine (e.g., jmustache) for that, or String.format(). Or, use StringBuilder, rather than lots of + operations (less memory churn, faster performance). Be sure to use <br/> or <p> for your line breaks/paragraph delimiters.
Use SpannableStringBuilder to assemble the string and its formatting from component parts.
Use TextUtils.concat(s, Html.fromHtml(...)) instead of s + Html.fromHtml(...), as concat() will maintain the spans that implement the formatting. While the implementation of Spanned returned by fromHtml() is not a String, both it and String are a CharSequence, and hence work with concat().
It will require a little bit of parsing on your end, but you definitely want to look into SpannableStrings.
For example, let's say I have the following string:
String s = "How now brown cow";
I would then turn it into a SpannableString by simply feeding the string to the constructor as follows:
SpannableString ss = new SpannableString(s);
From there you need your stylization with the spanned area. For this, I'll just use SubscriptSpan, though if you wish to make your own you can simply make your own class extending CharacterStyle and override the updateDrawState(TextPaint ds) method. The following is how you can set you span:
/ *
* the first argument is the span effect you want, the second and third
* are the start and end indices, respectively, and the last argument is
* for setting a flag, which you probably won't need.
*/
ss.setSpan(new SubscriptSpan(), 0, 2, 0);
And now you can just put your string straight into the TextView and it should appear how you want, like so:
myTextView.setText(ss);
I have the following string \u5733. I need to convert this to its respective UTF value. I tried doing it in both the ways shown below but I end up with "?" as the output. The UTF code points is for a Chinese character.Any help would be appreciated.
char[] arr=Character.toChars(5733);
System.out.println(new String(arr));
String code = "5733";
char c = (char)Integer.parseInt(code, 16);
System.out.println("Code: " + code + " Character: " + c);
You seem to have a problem with the terminal where your output is shown since your second approach is working for me.
Your first approach contains an error though. Since 5733 is a hexadecimal number, you should prefix it with 0x:
char[] arr=Character.toChars(0x5733);
An even simpler method would be:
char c = 0x5733;
System.out.println("Code: " + (int)c + " Character: " + c);
If you are running this in Eclipse, you can display UTF-8 characters as follows:
