How can I add my application to SendTo or Open With using Install4J?
Take a look at the Class ´WinAssociation´, there is a method
static void create( java.lang.String extension,
java.lang.String description,
java.io.File iconFile,
java.io.File executable)
// Creates a file association.
This should create a file-extension, which is opened with zur provided application.
It looks like you already got your answer on how to create an association, so here's the other answer.
The Send-To menu is actually just a directory in your user profile, called SendTo, so all you need to do it place a shortcut there. See: How to Add Items to the "Send To" Menu in Windows XP. As long as Install4J can place files wherever you ask, and you know how to create shortcuts, this should be trivial.

I would like to make .txt-files accessible for my VaadinApp on a GlassfishServer.
Lets say I have a .txt-file, its content is 12345.
Now, when I click a button on my Vaadin StartPage, I would like to show the Data that has been written into this .txt-file.
I know how Java Input/Output is working but I have no clue how to make those files accessible for my VaadinApplication running on Glassfish 4.1.2.
Is there a folder I can put the .txt-file in, or how would I access the file?
Thanks
There is component named Label is available in Vaadin.
So that, the values which needs to be shown on the screen can be set as a caption/value for that object.
This can be done either through constructor or setter in that object.We will set the value through the setter as we need to display the value, once the button is clicked. That can be done like this.
Label sampleLabel = new Label();
sampleLabel.setContentMode(com.vaadin.shared.ui.ContentMode.HTML);
Now we will see how this can be added to the label, when a button is clicked.
Button sampleButton = new Button("Click");
sampleButton.addClickListener(event -> sampleLabel.setValue(<call the method that reads data from the text file>));
I hope this will be helpful.
Note: Basically you can place the file anywhere in the system.
But most preferred way.
If you are using maven to build the project, place the files in the resource folder.(src/main/resources)
So I'm pretty new to the whole Android Studio thing and I've been using the internet to help me with a lot of the things I am doing and needed help on something.
I'm not sure if it's possible to connect this to either a string or an SQL database but I have a Main Layouts with a bunch of buttons that allow me to click on them and choose what external player I would like to use to watch the video. In my MainActivity java class, this is how it finds the button.
case R.id.button3:
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("http://videoname.mp4"), "video/*");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Choose an External Player"));
break;"
I wanted to know if "http://videoname.mp4" url can be connected to like a string where I can always update or change the URL instead of manually going to find the URL in the MainActivity java and changing it. As of now I have to manually do it but a different way to do it would be helpful.
I'm sorry if it's all confusing, but if you know, please let me know as soon as.
Thank you.
you just need write your string URL :
open your directory folder /res/values/strings.xml -> write your string : <string name="yourStringName>yourStringURL</string>. to use your string do this
getContext().getString(R.string.yourStringName) in fragment
getString(R.string.yourStringName) in Activity
or you can write directly on your code, put your cursor on your string, then press key alt + enter choose extract string resource fill the resource name with your string name
wherever you need to use it, just do point 1 or 2. also in your Intent
hope this help you, never stop learning!
Add it to strings.xml in your project. That is the recommended way of using strings anyway.
I have made a eclipse RCP application, everything is working fine but i recently noticed the Refractor option in menu. I would like to get rid of it. I have the following in ActionBarAdvisor.java:
#Override
protected void fillMenuBar(IMenuManager menu) {
menu.add(createFile());
menu.add(createEdit());
menu.add(createNavigate());
menu.add(createProject());
menu.add(new GroupMarker(IWorkbenchActionConstants.MB_ADDITIONS));
menu.add(createWindow());
menu.add(createHelp());
}
The above functions add actions to menu as:
edit.add(undoAct);
and also undoAct is defined as:
private IWorkbenchAction undoAction
makeActions function has contents as:
#Override
protected void makeActions(IWorkbenchWindow window) {
undoAction = ActionFactory.UNDO.create(window);
undoAction.setText("Undo Menu");
register(undoAction);
}
I found a suggestion which said to use hideActionSets to hide the menu. But I could not hide the entire menu but just its actions!
Remove "File, edit,...etc" menus from Eclipse RCP application
How to remove Refractor option now?
Thank you.
You can use activities, as described here.
First, you will need to find the ID of the menu:
Use the Plug-In Spy
The first way is to use the Plug-In Spy. Press alt-shift-F2 and click on a
menu item or toolbar button that you want to be hidden. If there is an ID
string under the heading "active action definition identifier" then you are
in luck. This item has been added using the Command Extension and you can
use this ID as the pattern argument for the Activities Extension. But not
all items that have been added using the Command Extension present their ID
string to the plug-in spy.
As a side note, the ID strings are period separated. For instance the ID for
a button might be "org.eclipse.ui.navigate.backwardHistory". Regular
expressions use the period to stand for any character. Luckily the period
used as a wild card matches with actual period characters so you don't need
to escape them if you don't want to. I find it makes it a bit easier to read
if they are not escaped and it is highly unlikely it will cause any
ambiguous matches.
Use the Plug-In Registry and plugin.xml files
The second way is to use the Plug-In Registry. You can open this view by
going to:
Window/Show View.../Other/Plug-in Development/Plug-In Registry
What you would like to do is to try to get a couple pieces of information:
a) the plugin that is contributing the UI element
b) information about what kind of extension the plugin is using to create
the UI element
If there is a very unique word associated with the UI element or its tool
tip then you can use this in the Plug-In Registry's filter field to try to
nail down which plug-in is contributing the UI element. The filter field is
not a very powerful tool so it can be a bit frustrating to use. It does not
allow wildcards and does not match space characters.
When you track down which plug-in is contributing the UI element then you
open the the plug-in in question from the Plug-Ins view which is found
grouped with the Package Explorer in the Plug-in Development perspective.
Then go to the Extensions tab and search for the ID string which can usually
be found in either a usage of the Command or ActionSet extension. If the UI
element is added using an ActionSet then you prefix the plug-in ID to UI ID
in the pattern argument given to the Activities Extension. For example
org.eclipse.ui.actionsets.foo becomes the pattern
org.eclipse.ui/org.eclipse.ui.actionsets.foo.
Then create a new Activity which will never be activated and a corresponding activityPatternBinding with the id you found in the last step. It will look like this in your plugin.xml:
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.activities">
<activity id="myActivity" name="MenuHidingActivity">
<enabledWhen>
<with variable="activePartId">
<equals value="nonExistentPartId"></equals>
</with>
</enabledWhen>
</activity>
<activityPatternBinding activityId="myActivity" pattern="menuItemID">
</activityPatternBinding>
</extension>
I have a Liferay project with Vaadin portlet.
I want to add icon to my buttons.
Button search = new Button("Search");
search.setIcon(new ThemeResource("img/silk/add.png"));
But dont know where i gonna put it? Now i put it in docroot directory.
UPDATE
No i try this.
Button search = new Button("Search");
search.setIcon(new ThemeResource("LifeRayVaadin-portlet/icons/add.png"));
But when i redeploy project in console get
09:34:05,773 WARN [404_jsp:109] /html/VAADIN/themes/liferay/LifeRayVaadin-portlet/icons/add.png
So your portlet is looking for the icons in /html/VAADIN/themes/liferay/LifeRayVaadin-portlet/icons/add.png.
You could create a directory icons under VAADIN and call:
search.setIcon(new ThemeResource("../../icons/add.png"));
ThemeResource without any path will look for the file in VAADIN/themes/yourtheme/ path and thus ../../ will get you (in this case) to /VAADIN/. I personally would never hardcode the name of a theme or a portlet in a project, because when it changes you have to go through every reference and change them.
You can put your images in $PORTLET-NAME/docroot/icons directory and call them using the Path
/$PORTLET-NAME$/icons/add.png
in your case it will be
Button search = new Button("Search");
search.setIcon(new ThemeResource("/$PORLTET-NAME$/icons/add.png"));
I'm trying to use UISpec4J to test a file chooser.
A button is supposed to make the file chooser pop up. I found an example for a file chooser that pops up from a menu option:
WindowInterceptor
.run(openMenu.triggerClick())
.process(FileChooserHandler.init()
.titleEquals("Select a template file")
.assertAcceptsFilesOnly()
.select("/home/bond/file.txt"))
.run();
But I can't seem to get it to work with a simple button click instead - I know this is probably a really simple question but I can't seem to find other documentation to get this to work and I am pretty stuck... Can someone explain how to test this? Thanks!
I've also tried example from documentation and failed. Little change could help:
WindowInterceptor
.init(openMenu.triggerClick())
.process(FileChooserHandler.init()
.titleEquals("Select a template file")
.assertAcceptsFilesOnly()
.select("/home/bond/file.txt"))
.run();
I've replaced first instance of run to init.
Probably, it's a typo in docs.
