How to convert emoji unicode in android

In anroid emoji convert to unicode time alwasy get output U+5c but we give emoji string "\uD83D\uDE21" this method it's working
String a = emojiconEditText.getText().toString().trim();
String text = new String(
StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava(a).getBytes(),
StandardCharsets.UTF_8
);
int codepoint = text.codePointAt(0);
String yourUnicode = "U+"+Integer.toHexString(codepoint);

You can encode/decode emojis to the following unicode UTF-8, UTF-16 and U+<hex> using the below:
try {
//I am assuming you are getting unicode from an inputbox
String emoji = emojiconEditText.getText().toString().trim();
//I am also assuming you are getting emoji in hexadecimal form `U+<hexdigits>`
String unicodeHexEmoji = "U+";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
//Firstly you want to encode emojis to unicode types by converting to byte array
byte[] utf8Bytes = emoji.getBytes("UTF-8"); // "\\uf0\\u9f\\u98\\u80"
byte[] utf16Bytes = emoji.getBytes("UTF-16"); // "\\ud83d\\ude00"
//convert emoji to hex
for (byte b : utf16Bytes ) {
sb.append(String.format("%02x", b));
}
//we are converting our current emoji to hex just for the purpose of this example
unicodeHexEmoji += sb; //yields "U+feffd83dde21";
byte[] utfHexBytes = getByteFromHex(unicodeHexEmoji.replace("U+","")); // "\\ud83d\\ude00"
//NB: we removed "U+" because its only a prefix denoting that the string is a <hex>
//Decoding our unicodes back to emoji string
String emojiUTF_8 = new String(utf8Bytes,"UTF-8");
String emojiUTF_16 = new String(utf16Bytes,"UTF-16");
String emojiUTF_hex = new String(utfHexBytes,"UTF-16");
Log.d("Tag", "emojiUTF_8 : "+ emojiUTF_8);
Log.d("Tag", "emojiUTF_16 : "+ emojiUTF_16)
Log.d("Tag", "emojiUTF_hex : "+ emojiUTF_hex)
//output
//emojiUTF-8 : 😀
//emojiUTF-16 : 😀
//emojiUTF-hex : 😡
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
...
public byte[] getByteFromHex(String hexString){
//To convert hex string to byte array, you need to first get the length
//of the given string and include it while creating a new byte array.
byte[] val = new byte[hexString.length() / 2];
for (int i = 0; i < val.length; i++) {
int index = i * 2;
int j = Integer.parseInt(hexString.substring(index, index + 2), 16);
val[i] = (byte) j;
}
return val;
}

format a string with fill places

I have setup an edittext box and set the maxlength to 10. When I copy the edittext to a string myTitles. I need the myTiles to be 10 chars long and not dependent on what is entered in the edittext box.
myTitles[0] = TitlesEdit.getText().toString();
The edittext was filled with ABCD so I need to add 6 spaces or placeholders after the ABCD. I have seen other post with str_pad and substr without success
myTitles[0] = str_pad(strTest, 0, 10);
myTitles[0] = substr(strTest,0, 10);

Try something like
public static String newString(String str) {
for (int i = str.length(); i <= 10; i++)
str += "*";
return str;
}
This will return a String with * replaced for the empty ones.
So, for eg, if your String is abcde, then on calling newString() as below
myTitles[0] = newString("abcde");
will return abcde***** as the output.

String s = new String("abcde");
for(int i=s.length();i<10;i++){
s = s.concat("-");
}
Then output your string s.

Thank you Lal, I use " " to fill and it worked fine. here is my new code.
String strTest = TitlesEdit.getText().toString();
for (int i = strTest.length(); i <= 10; i++) {
strTest += " ";
}
Log.d("TAG", "String" + strTest);
myTitles[intLinenumber] = strTest;

How can I validate Android edittext for accepting string and integer

What is the validation expression for string(space)integer? I want to enter the data in the format of "month date"(eg.March 22) in database.

I think it'll help you
String abc = "March 2";
String[] split = abc.split(" ");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < split.length; i++) {
sb.append(split[i]);
if (i != split.length - 1) {
sb.append(" ");
}
}
String combined = sb.toString();
At 0 position you'll get your months then get into a String and matches with your static array.
And at 1 position, you'll get your date, you can match it too.

String Multiline - Android

i got this issue and i don't know how to solve it. Here is the problem:
1 - i have a data in my database who i split into a strings[] and then i split this strings[] into another 2 strings[] (even and odd lines). Everything works fine but when i want to join all the lines into a single String i got a multi line string intead of a single line. Someone can help me?
data
abcdef//
123456//
ghijkl//
789012
code:
String text = "";
vec1 = data.split("//"); //split the data
int LE = 0;
for (int a = 0; a < vec1.length; a++) { //verify how many even and odds line the data have
if (a % 2 == 0) { //if 0, LE++
LE++;
}
}
resul1 = new String[LE];
int contA = 0, contB = 0;
for (int c = 0; c < resul1.length; c++) {
if (c % 2 != 0) {
text += " " + resul1[c].toLowerCase().replace("Á","a").replace("Ã","a").replace("ã","a").replace("â","a").replace("á","a").replace("é","e").replace("É","e")
.replace("ê","e").replace("í","i").replace("Í","i").replace("ó","o").replace("Ó","o").replace("õ","o").replace("Õ","o").replace("ô","o").replace("Ô", "o")
.replace("Ú","u").replace("ú","u").replace("ç","c").replace("_","").replace("<","").replace(">","");
contA++;
}
}
And the String looks like
abcdef
ghijkl
instead of
abcdefghijkl

You should use replaceAll() method.
text.replaceAll("\\r\\n|\\r|\\n", ""); // the method removes all newline characters

Array index out of bounds exception android

I am trying to get the data from database table via php file and displaying it in android. In php file I seperated each column with "#".
So now I am getting values like 4#2012-11-06#test1#test2. But for some columns there is not data. So the values are comng like 5###.
Here when I splitting with # and displaying the data it is throwing out of bounds exception. How can I resolve this issue?
Code:
String st="1#2012-10-30#test1#2#2012-10-30#test2#3#2012-11-06#test3#9##test1#21###22###23###";
String[] val = st.trim().split("#");
for (int i = 0; i < val.length; i++)
{
String str = val[i];
String arr[] = str.split("#");
System.out.println("arr0" + arr[0]);
System.out.println("arr1" + arr[1]);
System.out.println("arr2" + arr[2]);
}

try as using Pattern.compile to split your current string :
String your_string = "4#2012-11-06#test1#test2";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("#");
String[] strarray =pattern.split(your_string);
for Handling if array index contain empty string change your code as:
for (int i = 0; i < val.length; i++)
{
String your_string =val[i];
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("#");
String[] strarray =pattern.split(your_string);
for(int j=0;j<strarray.length;j++){
if(strarray[j].trim().length() >0){
System.out.println("arr"+j+"::" + strarray[j]);
}
else{
}
}
}
