There are several places where you can use String.Format indirectly: The secret is to look for the overload with the signature string format, params object[] args, e.g.: Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0} - {1}", name, value)); Can be replaced with shorter version: Console.WriteLine...

NumberFormatInfo can be used for formatting both integer and float numbers. // invariantResult is "1,234,567.89" var invarianResult = string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "{0:#,###,##}", 1234567.89); // NumberFormatInfo is one of classes that implement IFormatProvider...

The nameof operator allows you to get the name of a variable, type or member in string form without hard-coding it as a literal. The operation is evaluated at compile-time, which means that you can rename, using an IDE's rename feature, a referenced identifier and the name string will update with it...

We can create an ArrayList (following the List interface): List aListOfFruits = new ArrayList(); Java SE 5 List<String> aListOfFruits = new ArrayList<String>(); Java SE 7 List<String> aListOfFruits = new ArrayList<>(); Now, use the method add to add a String: ...

Sorting lists Prior to Java 8, it was necessary to implement the java.util.Comparator interface with an anonymous (or named) class when sorting a list1: Java SE 1.2 List<Person> people = ... Collections.sort( people, new Comparator<Person>() { public int compare(Pe...

An abstract class is a class marked with the abstract keyword. It, contrary to non-abstract class, may contain abstract - implementation-less - methods. It is, however, valid to create an abstract class without abstract methods. An abstract class cannot be instantiated. It can be sub-classed (exten...

This example illustrates sending a String with value as "Some data!" from OriginActivity to DestinationActivity. NOTE: This is the most straightforward way of sending data between two activities. See the example on using the starter pattern for a more robust implementation. OriginActivit...
