Database Develop

Java...HELP!

For homework, we're required to write code for a cash register. Basically what it does is it prints out a menu and asks the user for input. At the end it prints out the order along with the total.
The part I am having trouble with is how do I make something like this:
Code:
Hamburger Hamburger Hamburger
display as this:
Code:
(3) Hamburger
We're told to think in terms of parallel arrays, but seeing as I missed that class, I am a bit lost.
If wanted, I can put up what code I have.
Thanks in advance.

can you post all your code?

Here is what I have.
I haven't written anything in my code that would relate to the problem I am having because I do not know where to start.
Code:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class CashRegister{
public static void main(String[]args){
Scanner scan=new Scanner(System.in);
ArrayList<String> list=new ArrayList<String>();
Register reg=new Register();
int b;
do{
String [] item = new String[11];
item [0]="Hot Dog";
item [1]="Hamburger";
item [2]="Soda";
item [3]="Chips";
item [4]="Ice Cream";
item [5]="Shave Ice";
item [6]="Cookie";
item [7]="Plate Lunch";
item [8]="French Fries";
item [9]="Shake";
item [10]="Order Complete";
for (int a=0;a<item.length;a++){
System.out.println((a+1)+". "+item[a]);}
b=scan.nextInt();
if (b==1){
list.add(item[0]);
reg.add(2.50);}
if (b==2){
list.add(item[1]);
reg.add(3.00);}
if (b==3){
list.add(item[2]);
reg.add(1.25);}
if (b==4){
list.add(item[3]);
reg.add(1.50);}
if (b==5){
list.add(item[4]);
reg.add(2.00);}
if (b==6){
list.add(item[5]);
reg.add(2.00);}
if (b==7){
list.add(item[6]);
reg.add(1.00);}
if (b==8){
list.add(item[7]);
reg.add(5.00);}
if (b==9){
list.add(item[8]);
reg.add(2.50);}
if (b==10){
list.add(item[9]);
reg.add(3.00);}
}
while (b != 11);
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("Your order contains: ");
System.out.println(list);
System.out.print("Your order costs: $");
double f=reg.getTotal();
System.out.format("%.2f %n",f);
}}
class Register{
double total=0;
public void add (double b){
total=total+b;}
public double getTotal(){
return total;}
}

I looked into your code and I can see what you want to do. I came up with a way to do it, however, I don't think it will be an efficient code (I'm not really familiar with Java).
I'm sure someone with more knowledge with Java could help you with this.

If you don't mind, could you post what you came up with or maybe point me in the right direction? Thanks

Woops! I haven't read that, here is the almost much more cleaner solution.
There are several things that could be done (checking for valid input for example, ...) but i think thats to much for now.
Code:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class CashRegister {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
ArrayList<String> order = new ArrayList<String>();
Register reg = new Register();
// init & declare the array outside the loop
String[] menu = new String[] { "Hot Dog", "Hamburger", "Soda", "Chips",
"Ice Cream", "Shave Ice", "Cookie", "Plate Lunch",
"French Fries", "Shake" };
double[] prices = new double[] { 2.50, 3.00, 1.25, 1.50, 2.00, 2.00,
1.00, 5.00, 2.50, 3.00 };
// every order contains a amount int
int[] amountOf = new int[10];
for (int a = 0; a < menu.length; a++) {
System.out.println((a) + ". " + menu[a]);
}
System.out.println("10. " + "Order Complete");
System.out.print("Please choose from the menu:");
int input;
do {
input = scan.nextInt();
if (input >= 0 && input <= 10) {
reg.add(prices[input]);
amountOf[input]++;
}
}
while (input != 11);
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("Your order contains: ");
// System.out.println(list);
// calculate the amount of items from the order
for (int singleItem = 0; singleItem < menu.length; singleItem++) {
for (int menuIndex = 0; menuIndex < order.size(); menuIndex++) {
if (order.get(menuIndex).equals(menu[singleItem])) {
amountOf[singleItem]++;
}
}
}
// print the receipt
for (int i = 0; i < amountOf.length; i++) {
if (amountOf[i] > 0) {
System.out.println("(" + amountOf[i] + ") " + menu[i]);
}
}
System.out.print("Your order costs: $");
double f = reg.getTotal();
System.out.format("%.2f %n", f);
}
}
class Register {
private double total = 0;
public void add(double b) {
total = total + b;
}
public double getTotal() {
return total;
}
}

Thanks for your help. Now I can rest until the next assignment...which is tonight.

You know where to ask

Hi, sadly, it's me again seeking for some help.
This is what we are supposed to do
Code:
In this assignment you will use the techniques you used in lab to create an interactive vending machine. You must use Arraylists to store the information about the items for sale in the machine. Use the class you created in Assignment 5 in your ArrayLists.
Only the first item in a slot can be sold.
Hint:
Declaring and ArrayList of ArrayLists
Where Type is your class:
ArrayList<ArrayList<Type>> array;
You must also add each ArrayList to the ArrayList
array.add(new ArrayList<Type>());
End Hint
All Methods listed should be public:
Items will follow the restrictions delineated in Assignment 5. (You should leverage the abilities built into that class)
You will create a VendingMachine class that has at least the following methods:
VendingMachine(int numSlots, int maxItems)
This constructor will set up the object so that numSlots is the number of slots the machine has. MaxItems will be the maximum number of items that can be placed in each slot.
void menu()
This method will print a list of the items available, their price and the slot it is in. Only the first item in a slot will be printed. If a slot is Empty “Empty” should be printed with $0.00 for the price. Will also print out the current amount held in the machine.
boolean load(int slotNum, String name, double price, int quantity)
This method will load items into the machine. slotNum will be the slot that the items will be placed in, name will be the name of the item in the machine and price the price. Quantity is the number of this item that should be added. If the quantity exceeds the current capacity of the slot it should add nothing to the slot and return false. If the loading is successful return true.
int capacity(int slotNum)
returns the number of spaces empty in the slot specified.
void insertMoney( double money)
Will increase the amount of money in the machine by the amount of money (will not do anything if money is negative)
double returnMoney()
Will set amount of money in the machine to 0 and return the amount that was in the machine.
boolean select(int slotNumber)
Attempts to purchase the item in the slotnumber selected it returns true if the sale was successful and false if it was not. For a successful sale the amount held in the machine must be greater than the selected item. There must also be a valid item to be sold (the slot is not empty). If the item is sold the amount in the machine should be decreased by the price of the item. The first items in the slot should be removed.
This is what I have:
Code:
import java.util.ArrayList;
class itemVend{
public String item;
public double price;
final double maxPrice=99.99;
public itemVend(String item, double price){
this.item=item;
this.price=price;
}
public String getItem(){
if (item.length()>20){
item=item.substring(0,20);
}
System.out.println(item);
return item;
}
public double getPrice(){
if (price>=100.00){
price=99.99;
}
String priceNormal=String.format("%.2f",price);
System.out.format("$%5s",priceNormal);
double nPrice=Double.valueOf(priceNormal);
return nPrice;
}
}
class VendingMachine{
int numSlots;
int maxItems;
int slotNum;
String name;
double price;
int quantity;
double total;
double money;
int [] NumSlot=new int[numSlots];
int [] SlotAdd=new int [maxItems];
ArrayList<ArrayList<VendingMachine>> VendM;
public VendingMachine(int numSlots, int maxItems){
this.numSlots=numSlots;
this.maxItems=maxItems;
}
/*
public void menu(){
for (int x=0;x<numSlots;x++){
System.out.print(NumSlot[x]+","+name+","+price);
}
}
*/
public boolean load (int slotNum, String name, double price,int quantity){
if (quantity<=maxItems){
this.slotNum=slotNum;
this.name=name;
this.price=price;
itemVend IV=new itemVend(name,price);
this.quantity=quantity;
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
public int capacity (int slotNum){
int emptySpace=maxItems-quantity;
return emptySpace;
}
public void insertMoney (double money){
total=total+money;
}
public boolean select(int slotNum){
if ((money>price)){
total=total-price;
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
}
It's not quite done yet, and I'm sure that I have a lot of errors, because I am getting a little frustrated. The parts that I am having the most difficulty with is the VendingMachine constructor and the printing of the menu. Also I don't understand how the hint applies.
I think I may have figured out the menu problem:
Code:
public void menu(){
for (int x=0;x<VendNumber.size();x++){
System.out.println("Slot number: "+VendNumber.get(x)+", Item Name: "+VendItemName.get(x)+", Item Price: $"+ItemPrice.get(x));
}
}
Assignment 5 refers to the itemVend class.
Thanks in advance.

I'll take a look at this at the weekend, maybe tomorrow.

[Q] How can I convert a vector to an array?

import java.lang.reflect.Array;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Vector;
//Write your own version of the x.split()method
public class Splitting
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
System.out.println(mySplit("A/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/i/j/k/l/m/n/o/p/q/t/s/t/u/v/w/x/y/z/","/"));
}
public static String [] mySplit(String x, String y)
{
{
Vector<String > Final = new Vector<String>();
String f = null;
String z = null;
for(int i = 0; i < x.length();i++)
{
z = (x.substring(x.indexOf,x.indexOf+1));
f = x.replace(z, "\n");
Final.add(f);
}
String []Finale = Final.toArray(new String[Final.size()]);
System.out.println(Finale[0]);
return Finale;
}
}
}
This is a coding assignment for High School where I have to write my own .Split() method, I have understood how to do it as a String but am having trouble converting the vector to an array if anyone could please help me it would be much appreciated. Also I don't know what would be more convenient an array list or a vector?

I am not sure how to do what you are asking, but, as a general rule, mathematical operations will be faster with vector representations...

That's it - you convert it to an array already and then return that. You don't actually return the Vector. Also, you'd be better using an ArrayList as Vectors have been deprecated (I believe). I'm not overly familiar with Java, coming from a .Net background but I believe that's the case.

Thanks for your help!

Why would you re-search for the character to replace, when you are passing it as an argument to your method anyways ( I am referring here to "/" character)
And since you are doing a replace string method for your custom split, that basically does all the job for you... there is no need to use any arrays, vectors or anything else.
All your code can be reduced to smth like this:
public static String myCustomSplit(String myString, CharSequence splitByThisChar) {
String newString = myString.replace(splitByThisChar, "\n");
System.out.println(newString);
return newString;
}
Also you should learn about the naming convention (i.e. use camelCase on variable/method names etc.) if you plan to learn Java.

Handler android

Dear People,
I´m working on a app to control my robot with bluetooth.
So i made a thread to handle the bluetooth device, and a handler to read the information in the Gui thread.
(See code below)
The problem is that i´m not able to print the information to the textview in the handler.
When i print somthing to the textview in de onCreate function, everythings works fine, but when i print something to the textview in the handler, nothing happens.
There are also no errors or something like that.
I know that the handler function is called, because the receive messages are printed well in the log.d.
I hope that there is anyone who can help me.
thanks in advance.

New to Forum, New to Android

Hey ladies and gents,
I'm new to your forums, seems it will be a helpful resource as I undertake this new project. I'm not new to programming, but i'm rusty. About 20 years ago I started with Qbasic, in high school i moved on to Visual Studio and C++. But I have been out of it for awhile now.
I started learning a little python to help my dad with his own program. But Decided I wanted to use Android Studio for my own. I have already started looking into tutorials, but have yet to see some information I am looking for. ( Or just don't recognize due to inexperience )
Traditionally, whats best to use for a multiscreen App? I am currently running windows in Fragments. I have a sidescreen that pops out with a menu button (works), windows slide out with options ( works ), when you select the option the window slides away (works) and it brings up the fragment so you can fill in forms (works.)
Inside my Fragments java file I have this

Firstly, yes there is a lot of useless crapification going on. Was running different experiments and have not fully cleaned up yet.
But, as people type in the field I want to capture the inputs. Does this require a Listener? Can you capture as they type or do I need a button (Really, Really don't want a button)?
Also, I am unfamiliar with the layout of the java.
Oncreate is when the program boots up?
onCreateview is when the Fragment is booted up?
onattach is when the main activity is associated?
ondetach is when its associated from activity?
I don't fully understand yet where the best place is to add stuff, would it be after onattach?
Thanks for pointing me in the right directions guys.

Module stops working as soon as I load a native library (Please help)

Hi,
First, a disclaimer.
I am a Java and xposed noob. My background is in embedded C development so I can get by with some simple Java code and thanks to the great tutorials online I have been able to put together an xposed module but I'm struggling with a problem that is beyond my abilities now and am reaching out to the community for help.
Next, the background.
I have an Android head unit in my car. There is an app that provides me with CarPlay functionality but none of the controls on the steering wheel work with the app. When I analysed the code I found that they handle all of their button inputs using proprietary methods that do not inject an event into any input streams. I wrote an xposed module to hook the button press methods and then inject a proper input into one of the event streams.
Initially I tried to use the command line 'input' command to do this but since it is a Java app and takes about 1s to load it was too slow. My only other option was to create a virtual device on an input stream that I could then use to inject keypresses through the hooked method. To create a virtual device I needed to write C code that my xposed module would be able to access through the JNI. Long story short, after some pain I was able to get the native library integrated into the project and compiling using the NDK.
Finally, the problem.
When I was using the module without the native library it worked but just with a large delay because of the time it takes to load the 'input' java app. I was able to see logs from the module in the logcat as I hooked the method and as I went through the various actions within the hook.
As soon as I introduce the native library though the entire xposed module just stops running completely. I do not get any logs from the module even though I have installed, activated and rebooted. It shows up in the xposed installer but it just does nothing. The funny thing is that this happens even if I make no reference whatsoever to any native functions within the library. All I need to do to kill the module is to build it with the System.loadlibrary line in the Main.java uncommented. As soon as I comment that piece of code out the module starts to hook the function and output logs again. Below is the code from the Main.Java that I am referring to. I am happy to make any manifest, C and gradle files available too. Looking for any ideas as to why the module dies completely as soon as I include this...
Code:

The issue with native library is quite strange and I cannot help with it as my experience with native libs is zero.
But maybe try a different method of injecting media key events.
Create a method:
Code:
void injectKey(int keyCode) {
try {
final long eventTime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
final InputManager inputManager = (InputManager)
mContext.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_SERVICE);
int flags = KeyEvent.FLAG_FROM_SYSTEM;
XposedHelpers.callMethod(inputManager, "injectInputEvent",
new KeyEvent(eventTime - 50, eventTime - 50, KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN,
keyCode, 0, 0, KeyCharacterMap.VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD, 0, flags,
InputDevice.SOURCE_KEYBOARD), 0);
XposedHelpers.callMethod(inputManager, "injectInputEvent",
new KeyEvent(eventTime - 50, eventTime - 25, KeyEvent.ACTION_UP,
keyCode, 0, 0, KeyCharacterMap.VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD, 0, flags,
InputDevice.SOURCE_KEYBOARD), 0);
} catch (Throwable t) {
// something went wrong
XposedBridge.log(t.getMessage());
}
}
Then just do: injectKey(KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PREVIOUS);
And maybe try playing with different KeyEvent flags and attrs.

Thanks so much for this suggestion! Any idea if this injects at a java level or if it depends on there being a keyboard input device available on one of the /dev/input/eventX streams? The android device that I am using has no keyboard available on any of those input streams. Will give it a try nonetheless

The issue with native library is quite strange and I cannot help with it as my experience with native libs is zero.
But maybe try a different method of injecting media key events.
Create a method:
Code:
void injectKey(int keyCode) {
try {
final long eventTime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
final InputManager inputManager = (InputManager)
mContext.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_SERVICE);
int flags = KeyEvent.FLAG_FROM_SYSTEM;
XposedHelpers.callMethod(inputManager, "injectInputEvent",
new KeyEvent(eventTime - 50, eventTime - 50, KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN,
keyCode, 0, 0, KeyCharacterMap.VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD, 0, flags,
InputDevice.SOURCE_KEYBOARD), 0);
XposedHelpers.callMethod(inputManager, "injectInputEvent",
new KeyEvent(eventTime - 50, eventTime - 25, KeyEvent.ACTION_UP,
keyCode, 0, 0, KeyCharacterMap.VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD, 0, flags,
InputDevice.SOURCE_KEYBOARD), 0);
} catch (Throwable t) {
// something went wrong
XposedBridge.log(t.getMessage());
}
}
Then just do: injectKey(KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PREVIOUS);

Simply use whatever InputDevice that you think should work in your case.
The method basically calls this:
https://android.googlesource.com/pl.../android/hardware/input/InputManager.java#869
which is then propagated to Input Manager Service here:
https://android.googlesource.com/pl...oid/server/input/InputManagerService.java#598
which then calls nativeInjectInputEvent
