A char can store a single 16-bit Unicode character. A character literal is enclosed in single quotes char myChar = 'u'; char myChar2 = '5'; char myChar3 = 65; // myChar3 == 'A' It has a minimum value of \u0000 (0 in the decimal representation, also called the null character) and a maximum valu...

This Activity code will provide basic functionality for including a Google Map using a SupportMapFragment. The Google Maps V2 API includes an all-new way to load maps. Activities now have to implement the OnMapReadyCallBack interface, which comes with a onMapReady() method override that is execute...

Map Style Google Maps come with a set of different styles to be applied, using this code : // Sets the map type to be "hybrid" map.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID); The different map styles are : Normal map.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL); Typical road map. Roads, s...

To add markers to a Google Map, for example from an ArrayList of MyLocation Objects, we can do it this way. The MyLocation holder class: public class MyLocation { LatLng latLng; String title; String snippet; } Here is a method that would take a list of MyLocation Objects and place a M...

The shared remote interface: package remote; import java.rmi.Remote; import java.rmi.RemoteException; public interface RemoteServer extends Remote { int stringToInt(String string) throws RemoteException; } The server implementing the shared remote interface: package server; im...

You should be careful when comparing floating-point values (float or double) using relational operators: ==, !=, < and so on. These operators give results according to the binary representations of the floating point values. For example: public class CompareTest { public static void main...

Classes implementing Iterable<> interface can be used in for loops. This is actually only syntactic sugar for getting an iterator from the object and using it to get all elements sequentially; it makes code clearer, faster to write end less error-prone. public class UsingIterable { pub...

Button button = new Button("I'm here..."); Timeline t = new Timeline( new KeyFrame(Duration.seconds(0), new KeyValue(button.translateXProperty(), 0)), new KeyFrame(Duration.seconds(2), new KeyValue(button.translateXProperty(), 80)) ); t.setAutoReverse(true); t.setCy...

Annotation @XmlAccessorType determines whether fields/properties will be automatically serialized to XML. Note, that field and method annotations @XmlElement, @XmlAttribute or @XmlTransient take precedence over the default settings. public class XmlAccessTypeExample { @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessT...

Annotations @XmlElement, @XmlAttribute or @XmlTransient and other in package javax.xml.bind.annotation allow the programmer to specify which and how marked fields or properties should be serialized. @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.NONE) // we want no automatic field/property marshalling public cla...

The + symbol can mean three distinct operators in Java: If there is no operand before the +, then it is the unary Plus operator. If there are two operands, and they are both numeric. then it is the binary Addition operator. If there are two operands, and at least one of them is a String, then i...

The Java language provides 7 operators that perform arithmetic on integer and floating point values. There are two + operators: The binary addition operator adds one number to another one. (There is also a binary + operator that performs string concatenation. That is described in a separate e...

The == and != operators are binary operators that evaluate to true or false depending on whether the operands are equal. The == operator gives true if the operands are equal and false otherwise. The != operator gives false if the operands are equal and true otherwise. These operators can be used ...

While using the foreach loop (or "extended for loop") is simple, it's sometimes beneficial to use the iterator directly. For example, if you want to output a bunch of comma-separated values, but don't want the last item to have a comma: List<String> yourData = //... Iterator<Str...

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...

WebView wv = new WebView(); WebEngine we = wv.getEngine(); we.load("https://stackoverflow.com"); WebView is the UI shell around the WebEngine. Nearly all controls for non UI interaction with a page are done through the WebEngine class.

WebHistory history = webView.getEngine().getHistory(); The history is basically a list of entries. Each entry represents a visited page and it provides access to relevant page info, such as URL, title, and the date the page was last visited. The list can be obtained by using the getEntries() met...

PrinterJob pJ = PrinterJob.createPrinterJob(); if (pJ != null) { boolean success = pJ.showPrintDialog(primaryStage);// this is the important line if (success) { pJ.endJob(); } }

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 { ...
