// Compile a Uri with the 'mailto' schema Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts( "mailto","[email protected]", null)); // Subject emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Hello World!"); // Body of email emailIntent.putEx...

Android Studio is the Android development IDE that is officially supported and recommended by Google. Android Studio comes bundled with the Android SDK Manager, which is a tool to download the Android SDK components required to start developing apps. Installing Android Studio and Android SDK tools:...

It is possible to define an array with more than one dimension. Instead of being accessed by providing a single index, a multidimensional array is accessed by specifying an index for each dimension. The declaration of multidimensional array can be done by adding [] for each dimension to a regular a...

For basic prototypes or basic command-line behavior, the following loop comes in handy. public class ExampleCli { private static final String CLI_LINE = "example-cli>"; //console like string private static final String CMD_QUIT = "quit"; //string for exit...

The ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown when a non-existing index of an array is being accessed. Arrays are zero-based indexed, so the index of the first element is 0 and the index of the last element is the array capacity minus 1 (i.e. array.length - 1). Therefore, any request for an array e...

To check whether a particular String a is being contained in a String b or not, we can use the method String.contains() with the following syntax: b.contains(a); // Return true if a is contained in b, false otherwise The String.contains() method can be used to verify if a CharSequence can be fou...

As you use generic types with utility classes, you may often find that number types aren't very helpful when specified as the object types, as they aren't equal to their primitive counterparts. List<Integer> ints = new ArrayList<Integer>(); Java SE 7 List<Integer> ints = new A...

Executors accept a java.lang.Runnable which contains (potentially computationally or otherwise long-running or heavy) code to be run in another Thread. Usage would be: Executor exec = anExecutor; exec.execute(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { //offloaded work, no need t...

Server: Start, and wait for incoming connections //Open a listening "ServerSocket" on port 1234. ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(1234); while (true) { // Wait for a client connection. // Once a client connected, we get a "Socket" object // that c...

Don't just use Optional.get() since that may throw NoSuchElementException. The Optional.orElse(T) and Optional.orElseGet(Supplier<? extends T>) methods provide a way to supply a default value in case the Optional is empty. String value = "something"; return Optional.ofNullable(v...

Once we've gotten the Connection, we will mostly use it to create Statement objects. Statements represent a single SQL transaction; they are used to execute a query, and retrieve the results (if any). Let's look at some examples: public void useConnection() throws SQLException{ Connection ...

Enum can be considered to be syntax sugar for a sealed class that is instantiated only a number of times known at compile-time to define a set of constants. A simple enum to list the different seasons would be declared as follows: public enum Season { WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER, FA...

An enum can contain a method, just like any class. To see how this works, we'll declare an enum like this: public enum Direction { NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST; } Let's have a method that returns the enum in the opposite direction: public enum Direction { NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST; ...

wait() and notify() work in tandem – when one thread calls wait() on an object, that thread will block until another thread calls notify() or notifyAll() on that same object. (See Also: wait()/notify() ) package com.example.examples.object; import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicBoolean; p...

Calendar objects can be created by using getInstance() or by using the constructor GregorianCalendar. It's important to notice that months in Calendar are zero based, which means that JANUARY is represented by an int value 0. In order to provide a better code, always use Calendar constants, such as...

add() and roll() can be used to increase/decrease Calendar fields. Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(2016, Calendar.MARCH, 31); // 31 March 2016 The add() method affects all fields, and behaves effectively if one were to add or subtract actual dates from the calendar calendar.add(Calend...

Parentheses are now forbidden around named parameters. The following compiles in C#5, but not C#6 5.0 Console.WriteLine((value: 23)); Operands of is and as are no longer allowed to be method groups. The following compiles in C#5, but not C#6 5.0 var result = "".Any is byte; T...

There are many ways to create arrays. The most common are to use array literals, or the Array constructor: var arr = [1, 2, 3, 4]; var arr2 = new Array(1, 2, 3, 4); If the Array constructor is used with no arguments, an empty array is created. var arr3 = new Array(); results in: [] Note...

Start by defining a Foo function that we'll use as a constructor. function Foo (){} By editing Foo.prototype, we can define properties and methods that will be shared by all instances of Foo. Foo.prototype.bar = function() { return 'I am bar'; }; We can then create an instance using the ...
