I'm parsing a CSV using Processing's Table interface, but some rows are missing some data. I want to pull all the data available into my table, but I'm not sure how to handle the missing data--I keep getting NullPointerException when I loop over the table with dataTable.getInt on the missing values.
I don't have a background in statically typed languages, so I've no idea how to conditionally assign this data short of putting a separate try/catch around each assignment. Surely there's a better way?
Before calling dataTable.getInt method check if dataTable is not null like
if(dataTable != null) {
int my_nt = dataTable.getInt
}
//else skip since it is empty
Since your're using getInt--you should perform a regex search/replace ,<not numeric>, with ,<some int>,. In your case it may be as simple as replacing ,, with ,0,
Also, as Hassan suggests, double check that dataTable is not null.
Ok, so I figured out a way to do this:
First, call dataTable.makeNullEmpty(), which turns all the null values into empty strings.
Then, you can use a pattern like this:
String total_value = dataTable.getString(i, 4);
if(total_value.length() > 0) s.total_value = parseInt(total_value);
and you get assignment only if an int is there to be parsed.

Edit: Figured it out, check my posted answer if you're having similar issues.
I know there are several questions about this issue, but none of their solutions are working for me.
In my model class I have made sure to use List instead of Arraylist to avoid Firebase issues, but am still getting this error. It's a lot of code but most questions ask for all the code so I'll post it all.
TemplateModelClass.java
//
I've used this basic model successfully many times. For the
HashMaps<String, List<String>>,
the String is an incremented Integer converted to String. The List's are just Strings in a List. Here's some sample JSON from Firebase:
//
Formatted that as best as I could. If you need a picture of it let me know and I'll get a screenshot
And am getting this error, as stated in the title:
com.google.firebase.database.DatabaseException: Expected a Map while deserializing, but got a class java.util.ArrayList
The most upvoted question about this seems to have something to do with a problem using an integer as a key, but I think I've avoided that by always using an integer converted to a string. It may be interpreting it strangely, so I'll try some more stuff in the meantime. Thanks for reading!
Alright, figured it out. If anyone reading this has this problem and are using incremented ints/longs/whatever that get converted to strings, you must add some characters to the converted int. Firebase apparently converts these keys back into non-Strings if it can be converted.
For example, if you do something like this:
int inc = 0;
inc++; // 1
map.put(String.valueOf(inc), someList);
Firebase interprets that key as 1 instead of "1".
So, to force Fb to intepret as a string, do something like this:
int inc = 0;
inc++; // 1
map.put(String.valueOf(inc) + "_key", someList);
And everything works out perfectly. Obviously if you also need to read those Strings back to ints, just split the string with "[_]" and you're good to go.
The main issue is that you are using a List instead of a Map. As your error said, while deserializing it is expectig a Map but is found an ArrayList.
So in order to solve this problem youd need to change all the lists in your model with maps like this:
private Map<String, Object> mMapOne;
After changing all those fileds like this, you need also to change your public setters and getters.
Hope it helps.
I want to fill 4 arrays with specific data from block string
I got blocks like this
00:0035:0063:1705211023:00:
11::7027661000300976376:
99:59:07027661000300976376:::::

****Segundo Ticket PANGUI**** 99:00:35:63:1705211023:0:1:19353:63895896:1490:0:::::
99:150:0|1|H014|35|63|210517102100|
and I want to check if 00:.. , 05:11:.. , 99:65.. , 99:64... and 99:01...headers exists and stores data for specific field from each row, for example in line or row 99:65.. I will store the last field. If no exists one or more, I must be store zero, something like this
if exist 99:11 then Arr11 =specificfieldfrom9911, else arr11 = "0"
So that for each block have a structure or set of arrays that identifies the fields of each block
Arr00
Arr0511
Arr9965
Arr9964
Arr9901
how can I achieve this? any help would be great.
after you get the individual string you can use startsWith("") method on the strings. Eg. Assuming the string that came is on a variable called inputString you can use
if(inputString.startsWith("99:65")){
//do what you want to do
}
i hope this helps
Is there a way i can create code build code by using Concatenation in Android studio/eclipse?
In other words i have 2 sets of strings one for each country i am dealing with ZA and KE. They have 2 different EULA's.
So i would like to pull the string related to the respective country.
String message = mContext.getString(R.string.eula_string_za);
above is an example of the output code. is there someway i can go about "creating" that based on If statements?
String str = "mContext.getString(R.string.eula_string_";
if (something = "ZA") {
str += "za);";
} else {
str += "ke);";
}
so if the country selected is ZA then the output code should be
mContext.getString(R.string.eula_string_za);
and if its KE it should be
mContext.getString(R.string.eula_string_ke);
and then the result will then pull the correct string from strings.xml?
Java is a compiled code, not an executed one,you can't write code this way like in an interpreted language.
The best way to manage different languages in android is to use a string.xml file for each language.
Take a look at this tutorial, it will help you a lot :

If you want to go this route you could try to use reflection. Have a look at Class.getField(…) if you want to use reflection.
Instead of first building a code string using a if statement you can also use the same if statement to find the correct string:
String str;
if (something.equals("ZA")) {
str = mContext.getString(R.string.eula_string_za);
} else {
str = mContext.getString(R.string.eula_string_ke);
}
Note that your condition something = "ZA" does not do what you think it does: It assigns something the string "ZA" and then evaluates itself to "ZA", so this would not even compile. The correct way would be something == "ZA", but even this does not work in the general case. You need to use String.equals(…). Some even argue you should use it the other way around (i.e. "ZA".equals(something)) to avoid a NullPointerException…
Another possibility would be to first build a Map from county to the corresponding string ID for all the EULAs you have and then asking the Map to return the correct one.
But probably the cleanest solution would be to use Androids built in mechanism, as hkN suggests.
I am attempting to create a method which will either evaluate an expression saved as a string array or will return some sort of "equation object" to do the job. Essentially I have a String array which contains the following data:
equation[0] = side 1, equation[1] = operator (=,>,<), equation[2] = side 2.
Now, it is also important that I am able to use the side 1 and side two as variables in one of my objects. I am loading them in as such:
background = Ex Legionary;dexterity > 3;
Splitting at the semicolon for each condition. Any ideas? I have read that doing this directly may be impossible... if that is the case, any other ideas for how I can accomplish this? Thanks
I've got a view that contains documents with various questions I want answered about Purchase Orders.
Using a repeat, I list all the questions. There are a few different kinds of questions, so I only render the answer field that I need based on the FieldType column value. I want to pull the choices for a combobox from the DialogChoices field on the question document.
I'm currently getting the choices showing as plain text on the next line after the empty combobox instead of as the selectItems. Where is my code going wrong?
<xp:comboBox id="comboBox1">
<xp:this.rendered><![CDATA[#{javascript:rowData.getColumnValue("FieldType") == "Dialog Box"; }]]></xp:this.rendered>
<xp:selectItems>
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:var doc:NotesDocument = rowData.getDocument();
var choicesVector:java.util.Vector= doc.getItemValue("DialogChoices");
var choices = [];
// loop through the vector, doing push into the array
for (i=0; i<choicesVector.size(); i++) {
choices.push (choicesVector.elementAt(i))
};
return choices;}]]>
</xp:this.value>
</xp:selectItems>
</xp:comboBox>
Strange, but a test database with the code above does not seem to give me strange results. Maybe it is because the data is in fact not an Vector but just a string?
Here are some tips :
The first thing you could change in your code is the loop to get all the data out of your field. Since the value property of a combobox already expects an array or vector you can change the code to something like:
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:var doc:NotesDocument = rowData.getDocument();
return doc.getItemValue("DialogChoices");
}]]>
</xp:this.value>
But it would be even better to remove the getDocument call at all. If possible you can add a column to the view are you are using for the repeat's datasource. In this column you get the data from the field directory. This way you can use the viewentry's getColumnValue() which is a performance optimization. Something like:
<xp:selectItems>
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{try{
return rowData.getColumnValue("DialogChoices");
}catch(e){// do something }]]>
</xp:this.value>
</xp:selectItems>
