Second certification meeting

We are meeting every Thursday to talk about Java and certifications (and sometimes about local projects at an operational level). In this moment we are talking about the firsts sections of SCJA and solving mock exams in group.
Our approach is, each week a certification topic, each topic and different person talking. Meetings are free and anyone can join. I’m trying to keep those meeting linked with CEJUG and take we all to the monthly CEJUG meetings.

So next Thursday I’ll not talk. Those slides I used aren’t finished yet so I’ll not share them now, but as soon as possible I’ll do that. More photos here.

Android screen height and width

Tags: Android, Java, mobile, programming, screensize
Posted in english | 1 comment
Context ctx = getContext(); Display display = ((WindowManager)ctx.getSystemService(ctx.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay(); int width = display.getWidth(); int height = display.getHeight(); Yes, there are easier ways to retrieve the screen width on Android but there are cases that this long code is the only solution. You may already have the Context. WindowManager or the Display and so it would be [...]

calling commands in Java

I don’t like the approach of calling native shell commands in any language instead of using multi platform libraries, but here is a little prof of concept Java program to call native commands. import java.io.*; import java.util.*; public class Exec { public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException { Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().e xec(args); BufferedReader [...]
Iterating over a HashMap

Posted in english | No comments
Iterating over a HashMap using the enhanced loop (foreach) in Java is a good way to keep your code smaller, more legible and usually more semantically coherent. import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; class Foo {} public class Main { public static void main(String args[]){ Map<Byte, Foo> mHash; mHash = new HashMap<Byte, Foo>(); [...]

This is a simple program I wrote called Who Am I that shows informations about the device which it is running. Which can be useful for developers and maybe advanced users. Download: WhoAmI.tar.bz2 – Eclipse project. It’s configured for Android platform 4 (1.6) but should work without problems in newer Android platform versions. WhoAmI.apk – [...]

Today I was programming a toString method for a class widely used in a application, using the very useful String.format that provides a C’s like printf formatter. @Override public String toString() { return String.format("VO[a: %.1f, b: %.1f, c: %.1f]", a, b, a+b); } %.1f means a float with one digit precision after the dot separator.
