ReplaceAll not working - android

I'm using google volley to retrieve source code from website. Some looping was done to capture the value in the code. I've successfully captured the data I wanted, but error was shown: NumberFormatException: Invalid float: "2,459.00"
My intention was to store the value after the class=ListPrice>
Sample:
RM 2,899.00
The example value of the source code I wanted to save is "RM2,459.00 "
Below is the code I've written:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_lazada_result);
lelongResult = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.lelong_result);
RequestQueue lelong = MyVolley.getRequestQueue(this);
StringRequest myLel = new StringRequest(
Method.GET,
"http://list.lelong.com.my/Auc/List/List.asp?DA=A&TheKeyword=iphone&x=0&y=0&CategoryID=&PriceLBound=&PriceUBound=",
RetrieveLelong(), createMyReqErrorListener());
lelong.add(myLel);
}
private Response.Listener<String> RetrieveLelong() {
return new Response.Listener<String>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
ArrayList<Float> integers = new ArrayList<>();
String to = "class=ListPrice>";
String remainingText = response;
String showP = "";
while (remainingText.indexOf(to) >= 0) {
String tokenString = remainingText.substring(remainingText
.indexOf(to) + to.length());
String priceString = tokenString.substring(0,
tokenString.indexOf("<"));
float price = Float.parseFloat(priceString.replaceAll("[^\\d,]+", "").trim());
integers.add((price / 100));
remainingText = tokenString;
}
for (int i = 0; i < integers.size(); i++) {
String test1 = Float.toString(integers.get(i));
showP += test1 + "\n";
}
lelongResult.setText(showP);
}
};
}
The problem was as below:
I've tried all sort of replaceAll(),
1)replaceAll("[^\d,]+","") result:2,89900
replace all character except digits and comma works.
2)replaceAll("[^\d]+","") result:Invalid int""
replace all character include comma and dot ,not working
3)replaceAll("[^\d.]+,"") result:Invalid int""
replace all character exclude digits and dot, not working
From the experiment 2&3 coding above,I've noticed that if the comma were removed,i cant parseFloat as the value received by it is: "".NumberFormatException:Invalid Float:"" shown.
From the experiment 1,NumberFormatException:Invalid Float "2,45900" is showned.
The problem was replacing comma ,the code will not work but with the presence of comma ,the value cannot be stored into string

try this:
float price = Float.parseFloat(priceString.replaceAll("RM", "").trim());

use `replaceAll(Pattern.quote(","), "");
EDIT
if you want only numbers then use this
String s1= s.replaceAll("\D+","");

Try to parse the number by specifying the Locale.
NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.KOREAN);
Number number = format.parse(priceString.replaceAll("RM", ""));
double d = number.doubleValue();
I'm just guessing the locale, don't know what you should use, depends on country

You need to do it one by one
priceString=priceString.replaceAll("\\D", "");
priceString=priceString.replaceAll("\\s", "");
now
priceString=priceString.trim();
float price = Float.parseFloat(priceString);

the problem is that in your code:
priceString.replaceAll(Pattern.quote(","), "");
float price = Float.parseFloat(priceString.replaceAll("\\D+\\s+", "").trim());
You are replacing coma but not storing the value!
you have to do:
priceString = priceString.replaceAll(",", "");
float price = Float.parseFloat(priceString.replaceAll("\\D+\\s+", "").trim());
I'm not sure of the pattern "\D+\s" because if you remove the coma you don't need to replace anything else (except "RM" that i assume you already removed)
Update: set locale and parse a number:
NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.KOREAN);
Number number = format.parse(priceString.replaceAll("RM", ""));
double d = number.doubleValue();

Trying to clear one character from TextView

I made a calculator app and I made a clear Button that clears the TextView.
private TextView _screen;
private String display = "";
private void clear() {
display = "";
currentOperator = "";
result = "";
}
I got this code from Tutorial and set the clear button onClick to onClickClear, so it do that part of the code and it works. Now I have made this code delete only one number at a time and it don't work. What can be done to delete only one number at a time?
public void onClickdel(View v) {
display = "";
}
Below code will delete one char from textView.
String display = textView.getText().toString();
if(!TextUtils.isEmpty(display)) {
display = display.substring(0, display.length() - 1);
textView.setText(display);
}
You are modifying the string and not the textview.
To clear the TextView use:
_screen.setText("");
To remove the last character:
String str = _screen.getText().toString();
if(!str.equals(""))
str = str.substring(0, str.length() - 1);
_screen.setText(str);
String display = textView.getText().toString();
if(!display.isEmpty()) {
textView.setText(display.substring(0, display.length() - 1));
}

TalkBack decimal announcements

I'm having a problem with Talkback. In my string I have the following number.
1,827
it's a Dutch number so the number means:
1 euro and 82,7 cents.
But Talkback is saying:
18 hundred and 27 euro.
So this problem only occurs when I have a number with more than 2 decimals. How to fix this issue?
---EDIT---
When I'm reading this page: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/62397/reading-out-decimal-numbers-in-english
it seems I must pronounce the number 1,827 as the following:
one point eight two seven instead to act if it is a number. How to do this?
---EDIT---
I included the following:
StringTokenizer stringTokenizer = new StringTokenizer(value, ".");
String currencyBeforeComma = null;
String currencyAfterComma = null;
while (stringTokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
currencyBeforeComma = stringTokenizer.nextToken();
currencyAfterComma = stringTokenizer.nextToken();
}
result = currencyBeforeComma + " point " + currencyAfterComma;
So now its pronouncing: one point eighthunderd twentyseven. So this is still now what i want.
---EDIT---
String value = 1,827;
String result = "";
for (Character chars : value.toCharArray()) {
result = result + chars + " ";
}
String replace = result.replace(getResources().getString(R.string.accessibility_decimal_separator), getResources().getString(R.string.accessibility_decimal_separator_text));
return replace;
This is what i did. I created a whitespace for every char in the value string and for the , or . I replaced it with a comma or point text.
This works for now but it isn't a clean solution. If anybody else has a better solution, please share
Try this and modify your as per your requirement
TextView currencylbl = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.currencylbl);
boolean countryCurrency = true;
String currency = "1,827";
if(countryCurrency==true && currency.contains(",")){
StringTokenizer stringTokenizer = new StringTokenizer(currency, ",");
String currencyBeforeComma = null;
String currencyAfterComma = null;
while (stringTokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
currencyBeforeComma = stringTokenizer.nextToken();
currencyAfterComma = stringTokenizer.nextToken();
currencylbl.setText(currency);
}
Double double1 = Double.parseDouble(currencyAfterComma);
double1 = Double.parseDouble(currencyBeforeComma)+double1/1000;
currencylbl.setContentDescription(double1+"");
}
countryCurrency refers to particular Country currency boolean.
Also modify as per your requirement.
Double double1 = Double.parseDouble(currencyAfterComma);
double1 = Double.parseDouble(currencyBeforeComma)+double1/1000;
currencylbl.setContentDescription(double1+"");
xml is
<TextView
android:id="#+id/currencylbl"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="24sp"
/>

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 effectively replace one or more characters

I have a String separated by commas as follows
1,2,4,6,8,11,14,15,16,17,18
This string is generated upon user input. Suppose the user wants to remove any of the numbers, I have to rebuild the string without the specified number.
If the current string is:
1,2,4,6,8,11,14,15,16,17,18
User intents to remove 1, the final string has to be:
2,4,6,8,11,14,15,16,17,18
I tried to achieve this using the following code:
//String num will be the number to be removed
old = tv.getText().toString(); //old string
newString = old.replace(num+",",""); //will be the new string
This might be working sometimes but it is sure that it won't work for the above example I have shown, if I try to remove the 1, it also removes the last part of 11, because there also exists 1.
well you can use this. Its the most simplest approach i can think of:
//String num will be the number to be removed
old=","+tv.getText().toString()+",";//old string commas added to remove trailing entries
newString=old.replace(","+num+",",",");// will be the new string
newString=newString.substring(1,newString.length()-1); // removing the extra commas added
This would work for what you want to do. I have added a comma at the start and end of your string so that you can also remove the first and last entries too.
You can split the string first and check for the number where you append those value that is not equivalent to the number that will get deleted;
sample:
String formated = "1,2,4,6,8,11,14,15,16,17,18";
String []s = formated.split(",");
StringBuilder newS = new StringBuilder();
for(String s2 : s)
{
if(!s2.equals("1"))
newS.append(s2 + ",");
}
if(newS.length() >= 1)
newS.deleteCharAt(newS.length() - 1);
System.out.println(newS);
result:
2,4,6,8,11,14,15,16,17,18
static public String removeItemFromCommaDelimitedString(String str, String item)
{
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
int count = 0;
String [] splits = str.split(",");
for (String s : splits)
{
if (item.equals(s) == false)
{
if (count != 0)
{
builder.append(',');
}
builder.append(s);
count++;
}
}
return builder.toString();
}
String old = "1,2,4,6,8,11,14,15,16,17,18";
int num = 11;
String toRemove = "," + num + "," ;
String oldString = "," + old + ",";
int index = oldString.indexOf(toRemove);
System.out.println(index);
String newString = null;
if(index > old.length() - toRemove.length() + 1){
newString = old.substring(0, index - 1);
}else{
newString = old.substring(0, index) + old.substring(index + toRemove.length() -1 , old.length());
}
System.out.println(newString);

How to split a string and get a specific string in android?

I want to split a string and get a word finally. My data in database is as follows.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948), also known as Mahatma Gandhi, was born in Porbandar in the present day state of Gujarat in India on October 2, 1869.
He was raised in a very conservative family that had affiliations with the ruling family of Kathiawad. He was educated in law at University College, London.
src="/Leaders/gandhi.png"
From the above paragraph I want get the image name "gandhi". I am getting the index of "src=". But now how can I get the image name i.e "gandhi" finally.
My Code:
int index1;
public static String htmldata = "src=";
if(paragraph.contains("src="))
{
index1 = paragraph.indexOf(htmldata);
System.out.println("index1 val"+index1);
}
else
System.out.println("not found");
You can use the StringTokenizer class (from java.util package ):
StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer(CurrentString, ":");
String first = tokens.nextToken();// this will contain one word
String second = tokens.nextToken();// this will contain rhe other words
// in the case above I assumed the string has always that syntax (foo: bar)
// but you may want to check if there are tokens or not using the hasMoreTokens method
Try this code. Check if it working for you..
public String getString(String input)
{
Pattern pt = Pattern.compile("src=.*/(.*)\\..*");
Matcher mt = pt.matcher(input);
if(mt.find())
{
return mt.group(1);
}
return null;
}
Update:
Change for multiple item -
public ArrayList<String> getString(String input)
{
ArrayList<String> ret = new ArrayList<String>();
Pattern pt = Pattern.compile("src=.*/(.*)\\..*");
Matcher mt = pt.matcher(input);
while(mt.find())
{
ret.add(mt.group(1));
}
return ret;
}
Now you'll get an arraylist with all the name. If there is no name then you'll get an empty arraylist (size 0). Always make a check for size.
