Paginations in JavaFX use a callback to get the pages used in the animation. Pagination p = new Pagination(); p.setPageFactory(param -> new Button(param.toString())); This creates an infinite list of buttons numbed 0.. since the zero arg constructor creates an infinite pagination. setPageFac...

ArrayList<String> images = new ArrayList<>(); images.add("some\\cool\\image"); images.add("some\\other\\cool\\image"); images.add("some\\cooler\\image"); Pagination p = new Pagination(3); p.setPageFactory(n -> new ImageView(images.get(n))); Note...

Java's Reflection API allows the programmer to perform various checks and operations on class fields, methods and annotations during runtime. However, in order for an annotation to be at all visible at runtime, the RetentionPolicy must be changed to RUNTIME, as demonstrated in the example below: @i...

First of all for a JAX-RS application must be set a base URI from which all the resources will be available. For that purpose the javax.ws.rs.core.Application class must be extended and annotated with the javax.ws.rs.ApplicationPath annotation. The annotation accepts a string argument which defines...

Date date = new Date(); System.out.println(date); // Thu Feb 25 05:03:59 IST 2016 Here this Date object contains the current date and time when this object was created. Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); calendar.set(90, Calendar.DECEMBER, 11); Date myBirthDate = calendar.getTime(); ...

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...

When desired XML format differs from Java object model, an XmlAdapter implementation can be used to transform model object into xml-format object and vice versa. This example demonstrates how to put a field's value into an attribute of an element with field's name. public class XmlAdapterExample { ...

A Stream will only be traversed when there is a terminal operation, like count(), collect() or forEach(). Otherwise, no operation on the Stream will be performed. In the following example, no terminal operation is added to the Stream, so the filter() operation will not be invoked and no output will...

Add the dependency as described in the Remark section, then add a RecyclerView to your layout: <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView android:id="@+id/my_recycler_view" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/> ...

To create your own Iterable as with any interface you just implement the abstract methods in the interface. For Iterable there is only one which is called iterator(). But its return type Iterator is itself an interface with three abstract methods. You can return an iterator associated with some coll...

var person = new Person { Address = null; }; var city = person.Address.City; //throws a NullReferenceException var nullableCity = person.Address?.City; //returns the value of null This effect can be chained together: var person = new Person { Address = new Address { ...

You can use Scanner to read all of the text in the input as a String, by using \Z (entire input) as the delimiter. For example, this can be used to read all text in a text file in one line: String content = new Scanner(new File("filename")).useDelimiter("\\Z").next(); System.o...

Optional<String> optionalWithValue = Optional.of("foo"); optionalWithValue.ifPresent(System.out::println);//Prints "foo". Optional<String> emptyOptional = Optional.empty(); emptyOptional.ifPresent(System.out::println);//Does nothing.

Spread operator 6 With ES6, you can use spreads to separate individual elements into a comma-separated syntax: let arr = [1, 2, 3, ...[4, 5, 6]]; // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] // in ES < 6, the operations above are equivalent to arr = [1, 2, 3]; arr.push(4, 5, 6); The spread operator also act...

Unlike in languages like Python, static properties of the constructor function are not inherited to instances. Instances only inherit from their prototype, which inherits from the parent type's prototype. Static properties are never inherited. function Foo() {}; Foo.style = 'bold'; var foo = ne...

A list comprehension creates a new list by applying an expression to each element of an iterable. The most basic form is: [ <expression> for <element> in <iterable> ] There's also an optional 'if' condition: [ <expression> for <element> in <iterable> if <c...

A dictionary comprehension is similar to a list comprehension except that it produces a dictionary object instead of a list. A basic example: Python 2.x2.7 {x: x * x for x in (1, 2, 3, 4)} # Out: {1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16} which is just another way of writing: dict((x, x * x) for x in (1, 2...

Generator expressions are very similar to list comprehensions. The main difference is that it does not create a full set of results at once; it creates a generator object which can then be iterated over. For instance, see the difference in the following code: # list comprehension [x**2 for x in r...

Set comprehension is similar to list and dictionary comprehension, but it produces a set, which is an unordered collection of unique elements. Python 2.x2.7 # A set containing every value in range(5): {x for x in range(5)} # Out: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} # A set of even numbers between 1 and 10: {x f...
