How can I increment the variable more than one time when sensor event changed?

As you can see that I am trying to increment the variable 'c' when the accelerometer z-axis value greater than 12. But I can do it at one time, it will change the value 0 to 1 after executing the program. But I want to collect how many times the z-axis value becomes more than 12.
#Override
public void onSensorChanged (SensorEvent event) {
textView.setText(event.values[0] + "");
textView1.setText(event.values[1] + "");
textView2.setText(event.values[2] + "");
String s = new String();
s = textView2.getText().toString().trim();
Float t = Float.parseFloat(s);
int c = 0;
if (t > 11) {
c++;
txt.setText(Integer.toString(c));
}
}

int counter = 0;
#Override
public void onSensorChanged (SensorEvent event) {
textView.setText(event.values[0] + "");
textView1.setText(event.values[1] + "");
textView2.setText(event.values[2] + "");
String s = new String();
s = textView2.getText().toString().trim();
Float t = Float.parseFloat(s);
int c = 0; // ???
if (t > 11) {
c++;
counter++;
txt.setText(Integer.toString(c));
System.out.println("I need to learn how to use global
variables.\n
also the thing has been greater than \"12\"
"+counter" times."
);
}
}
Also maybe using more meaningful variable names other than "textView#" would make it less of a pain for people to figure out what you're trying to do.

You can define the variable c as a field member like below:
public class MainActivity {
private int c = 0;
(...)
#Override
public void onSensorChanged (SensorEvent event) {
textView.setText(event.values[0] + "");
textView1.setText(event.values[1] + "");
textView2.setText(event.values[2] + "");
String s = new String();
s = textView2.getText().toString().trim();
Float t = Float.parseFloat(s);
if (t > 11) {
c++;
txt.setText(Integer.toString(c));
}
}
}

Saving serial data in Processing

Hello all for the second time,
Initially I was looking for a broad answer, but this thread got blocked for being "too broad"... so I've got no choice, but to go into detail. My apologies if asking the question again is against the forum guidelines, I'm new to stackoverflow so please be kind.
I’ve got data coming into a serial port at 250Hz and I’d like to save it all to a .csv file. Of course draw() is not going to be able to keep up with that rate of data...
At the moment I am using the serialEvent(port) to collect and parse the data. Once parsed out, I'm calling a function in draw to add the data to a new line in a table and then saving that table every 5 seconds...
Yes, I see the obvious flaw that if I'm saving the current data in draw then of course it's not going to be able to save all the data coming in, but rather just the data that happens to be present when the data saving function is called... but I'm not sure of the best way to solve that. A buffer scheme? Or can I have a separate thread that just adds ALL data coming in to a table?
which lead to my initial (broad) question...
Is there a way to save all incoming data to a file without polling?
Thanks to all in advance.. code below:

- Processing P3
- For the record, with the rest of my script I can get draw up to 80hz or so
- I'd be okay with saving all the data and parsing it later

Went the buffer route.... I think I'm getting close now. Unsure if I'm saving the data in the right order or if the saving process will halt the rest of the processes...

Unable to add integer values in Java

What I want is that by default C is 0 but when the user adds 2 then it should display 2 and then when the user adds 4 it should be 6 but instead it displays 4
Any help would be appreciated!
public void addCash(View view) {
//Intent intent = new Intent(this, Main.class);
EditText val1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.num);
int b = 0;
int a = 0;
int c = 0;
int d = 0;
a = Integer.parseInt(val1.getText().toString());
if (c == 0) {
c = a + b;
}
else {
c = c + a;
}
TextView result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.outPut);
result.setText(""+c);
//startActivity(intent);
}

variable c is local to this function and every time function is called it initialize c = 0 .
So every time only if condition will run.
else condition will never executed.
you can declare c as global ....

Initialize your variable c with the value of the textview like this:
TextView result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.outPut);
int c = Integer.parseInt(val1.getText().toString());
Edit: if the TextView by default is not set to 0 then you should consider doing an additional check.

Initialize "c" as a global member variable of your activity.Because instance of this will remain throughout the activity whereas if you initialize it as local vairable every time when you call method new variable instance is created
This as the global instance inside your activity
private int c = 0;
These "a",b","d" be initialzed again and again when call addcash method
public void addCash(View view) {
//Intent intent = new Intent(this, Main.class);
EditText val1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.num);
int b = 0;
int a = 0;
int d = 0;
a = Integer.parseInt(val1.getText().toString());
if (c == 0) {
c = a + b;
}
else {
c = c + a;
}
TextView result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.outPut);
result.setText(""+c);
Also replace below line of code with c = c + a as "b" will be always zero according to your code
if (c == 0)
{
c = a + b;
}
For more information check this link
http://www.cafeaulait.org/course/week3/11.html

As the other answers already stated, you are using local variables, which are initialized at each method call.
class SomeActivity {
private int c = 3; // Instance variable being initialized to 3. When you
// leave out the "= 3" part, then it is initialized
// to 0.
public void addCash(View v) {
// Now if you add something to c, it will persist between multiple
// method calls
EditText inputField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.num);
EditText outputField = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.outPut);
c += Integer.parseInt(inputField.getText().toString());
outputField.setText(String.valueOf(c));
}
}

Octave dfdp.m for JAVA

I want to implement Levenberg Marquardt fitting in JAVA and found apache commons math suitable. Since I want to fit a function, where I dont have the derivative to calculate the gradient or Jacobian, I need somthing like dfdp.m from GNU octave to calculate numerical derivatives. Has someone done this already?

I did it myself, in case someone else needs it here is the approach
dfdp.m code
m=size(x,1); if (m==1), m=size(x,2); end %# PAK: in case #cols > #rows
n=length(p); %dimensions
ps=p; prt=zeros(m,n);del=zeros(n,1); % initialise Jacobian to Zero
for j=1:n
del(j)=dp(j) .*p(j); %cal delx=fract(dp)*param value(p)
if p(j)==0
del(j)=dp(j); %if param=0 delx=fraction
end
p(j)=ps(j) + del(j);
if del(j)~=0, f1=feval(func,x,p); %FJ ~= not equal (!=) ...> p is now (p + dp*p)
if dp(j) < 0, prt(:,j)=(f1-f)./del(j);
else
p(j)=ps(j) - del(j); %FJ ...> p is now (p - dp*p)
prt(:,j)=(f1-feval(func,x,p))./(2 .*del(j)); %FJ 2 steps from (ps + del) to (ps - del)
end
end
p(j)=ps(j); %restore p(j)
end

Constructor of Array Point

I'm working on a programm in which I want my object "this" will be an array of Point but I have this error when I run the programm and I'm not understand why.
Error --> DouglasPeucker.
My programm :
public class DouglasPeucker {
private double epsilon;
protected Point[] coinImage;
public DouglasPeucker(Point [] tab) {
this.coinImage = new Point[tab.length];
for(int i = 0; i < this.coinImage.length; i++) {
double abscisse = tab[i].getX();
double ordonnee = tab[i].getY();
System.out.println(abscisse + " " + ordonnee);
this.coinImage[i].setX(abscisse);
this.coinImage[i].setY(ordonnee);
}
}

You're never assigning a value to coinImage[i], so it will have its default value of null, which you're the dereferencing. You need something like:
for(int i = 0; i < this.coinImage.length; i++) {
double abscisse = tab[i].getX();
double ordonnee = tab[i].getY();
System.out.println(abscisse + " " + ordonnee);
this.coinImage[i] = new Point();
this.coinImage[i].setX(abscisse);
this.coinImage[i].setY(ordonnee);
}
Or preferrably, IMO:
for (int i = 0; i < this.coinImage.length; i++) {
// I'm assuming Point has a sensible constructor here...
coinImage[i] = new Point(tab[i].getX(), tab[i].getY());
// Insert the diagnostics back in if you really need to
}
