I am creating an application where i do some real-time image analysis and store them into a csv file. The csv has 2 columns time and y-value of each frame.
I want to read this file and store the values from 2 columns into to double array. I want this because i want to perform an fast Fourier transformation on the data.

This is my MainActivity. What I am doing here is getting the data from CameraView class for each frame with the help of an interface that I created. After that im storing the values into a CSV file called temporary.csv.
Issues
I want to read this csv and store the first column(the time) into one double array and the second column(yAverage) into another double array.
I also want to delete the file once i have all the data stored into the into the double array.
How can I do that?
I would suggest youto use an open source library like OpenCSV to get the datafrom the CSV file. When you have the library implemented it's only a matter of iterating through the x and y columns and assign them to an array. With OpenCSV it would look like that. But i would also suggest you an more object orientec approach if the x and y with the same index coords are related to each other.
String csvFile = "/Users/mkyong/csv/country3.csv";
int length = 100; //If you dont know how many entries the csv file has i would suggest to use ArrayList
double[] xCoords = new double[length];
double[] yCoords = new double[length];
CSVReader reader = null;
try {
reader = new CSVReader(new FileReader(csvFile));
String[] line;
int i = 0;
while ((line = reader.readNext()) != null) {
xCoords[i] = Double.parseDouble(line[0]);
yCoords[i] = Double.parseDouble(line[1]);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
From the answer given by Lucas, I got the direction to my solution
public void readCsv(){
//set the path to the file
String getPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/bpReader";
String csvFile = "temporary.csv";
String path = getPath+ "/" + csvFile;
//File file = new File(path, csvFile);
int length = 500;
double[] xCoords = new double[length];
double[] yCoords = new double[length];
CSVReader reader = null;
try {
File myFile = new File (path);
reader = new CSVReader(new FileReader(myFile));
String[] line;
int i = 0;
while ((line = reader.readNext()) != null) {
xCoords[i] = Double.parseDouble(line[0]) ;
yCoords[i] = Double.parseDouble(line[1]);
Log.d("read:: ", "Time: "+String.valueOf(xCoords[i])+" Y: "+String.valueOf(yCoords[i]));
}
myFile.delete();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
And then i had to add
// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.commons/commons-lang3
compile group: 'org.apache.commons', name: 'commons-lang3', version: '3.6'
to my gradle,, which can be found at MVN repository
Can any one help me to

I am very new to android still creating my first application. I am trying to achieve reading from a static excel file(data will not change) and do some computation. I have gone through various online resources but however all does not specify where to store my excel file into(maybe it is too idiotproof) but unfortunately i do not know.
What i have done:
private static void readExcelFile(Context context, String filename) {
if (!isExternalStorageAvailable() || isExternalStorageReadOnly()) {
Log.e(TAG, "Storage not available or read only");
return;
}
try {
// Creating Input Stream
File file = new File(context.getExternalFilesDir(null), filename);
FileInputStream myInput = new FileInputStream(file);
// Create a POIFSFileSystem object
POIFSFileSystem myFileSystem = new POIFSFileSystem(myInput);
// Create a workbook using the File System
HSSFWorkbook myWorkBook = new HSSFWorkbook(myFileSystem);
// Get the first sheet from workbook
HSSFSheet mySheet = myWorkBook.getSheetAt(0);
/** We now need something to iterate through the cells. **/
Iterator rowIter = mySheet.rowIterator();
while (rowIter.hasNext()) {
HSSFRow myRow = (HSSFRow) rowIter.next();
Iterator cellIter = myRow.cellIterator();
while (cellIter.hasNext()) {
HSSFCell myCell = (HSSFCell) cellIter.next();
Log.d(TAG, "Cell Value: " + myCell.toString());
Toast.makeText(context, "cell Value: " + myCell.toString(),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return;
}
public static boolean isExternalStorageReadOnly() {
String extStorageState = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED_READ_ONLY.equals(extStorageState)) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
public static boolean isExternalStorageAvailable() {
String extStorageState = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(extStorageState)) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
and when onlclick i will call by using readExcelFile(ScoreActivity.this, "myExcel.xlsx");
Can someone please advice
If you want your file to be shipped along with your application, then you could put it in assets or res/raw folders, and then read it from there. Otherwise, you can put it on sdcard, but I see you are already doing this.
I am developing android app where SQlite as a database.I want to export certain result from DB in to excel file format programatically, want to store that excel to local device path
I have come across following links
SQlite database programmatically convert into Excel file format in Android
Android - Generate CSV file from table values
android exporting to csv and sending as email attachment
So what is exact procedure to implement Export to Excel for android apps ?
Guys here is answer that I have implemented successfully

this is my answer: And this works !
Excel file is the same as a .csv file.
Step 1: download this jar file https://code.google.com/p/opencsv/downloads/detail?name=opencsv-2.4.jar&can=2&q=
Step 2:

File exportDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "");
if (!exportDir.exists()) {
exportDir.mkdirs();
}
File file = new File(exportDir, "ExcelFile.csv");
try {
file.createNewFile();
CSVWriter csvWrite = new CSVWriter(new FileWriter(file));
//data

csvWrite.writeNext(arrStr1);
String arrStr[] ={listdata.get(0), listdata.get(1), listdata.get(2), listdata.get(3)};

I have recently implemented the excel export function in my app. I have also included my full code on how to export filtered data to excel instead of the whole table.
You will need to create a second table for this. The second that will hold the data you require for this operation (In my second table I have removed my autoincrament ID column because I dont want it in my excel file).
You will need to clear the second table first and then add entries.
Then use the SqLiteToExcel object to export db to excel and save the file somewhere.
Then I have an email intent with the excel file attached for sharing (allows sharing with other apps other than email). here is my method:
private void ExportData() {
//CHECK IF YOU HAVE WRITE PERMISSIONS OR RETURN
int permission = ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
if (permission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Storage permissions not granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
}
//get database object
myDbhelper = new MyDbHelper(getContext());
SQLiteDatabase database = myDbhelper.getWritableDatabase();
//delete all entries in the second table
database.delete("Table2",null,null);
//Create a cursor of the main database with your filters and sort order applied
Cursor cursor = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(
uri,
projections,
selection,
args,
sortOrder);
//loop through cursor and add entries from first table to second table
try {
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
final String ColumnOneIndex = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("COLUMN_ONE"));
final String ColumnTwoIndex = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("COLUMN_TWO"));
final String ColumnThreeIndex = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("COLUMN_THREE"));
//add entries from table one into the table two
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("TABLE2_COLUMN_1", ColumnOneIndex);
values.put("TABLE2_COLUMN_2", ColumnTwoIndex );
values.put("TABLE2_COLUMN_3", ColumnThreeIndex);
database.insert("table2", null, values);
}
} finally {
//close cursor after looping is complete
cursor.close();
}
//create a string for where you want to save the excel file
final String savePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/excelfileTemp";
File file = new File(savePath);
if (!file.exists()) {
file.mkdirs();
}
//create the sqLiteToExcel object
SQLiteToExcel sqLiteToExcel = new SQLiteToExcel(getContext(), "databasefile.db",savePath);
//use sqLiteToExcel object to create the excel file
sqLiteToExcel.exportSingleTable("table2","excelfilename.xls", new SQLiteToExcel.ExportListener() {
#Override
public void onStart() {
}
#Override
public void onCompleted(String filePath) {
//now attach the excel file created and be directed to email activity
Uri newPath = Uri.parse("file://" + savePath + "/" +"excelfilename.xls");
StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder builder = new StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder();
StrictMode.setVmPolicy(builder.build());
Intent emailintent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailintent.setType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
emailintent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
emailintent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "I'm email body.");
emailintent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,newPath);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailintent, "Send Email"));
}
#Override
public void onError(Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error msg: " + e);
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Failed to Export data", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
I have this method implemented in my app and it works
The CSV format is "string, string, string /n" for each line,
the "," is the column separator and "/n" for rows.
Get the data from the database and export them like this:
public static Boolean exportToCSV(List<Data> data, File file) {
try {
final String head = "ValueX, ValueY \n";
if (!file.exists()) {
file.createNewFile();
}
FileWriter fileWriter = new FileWriter(file.getAbsoluteFile());
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(fileWriter);
writer.write(head);
for (Item item : items) {
final String line = String.format("%s,%s\n",
item.getValueX(),
item.getValueY());

I want to change the sqlite database .db file to excel.
But I am not able to find what exactly I have to do. Can anybody please elaborate in a simple way what I have to perform to achieve this task.
By searching on Google, so many links appears, but I am not able to understand the step by step way to do this.
I have followed these links:
1. How to convert excel sheet into database of sqlite in android
2. SQlite database programmatically convert into Excel file format in Android
3. http://opencsv.sourceforge.net/
My solution is to convert the sqlite database into csv in first step then in second step is to convert the csv file to xls and it works fine for me, you will need 2 libraries (opencsv-1.7.jar; poi-3.8-20120326.jar)
public class ExportDatabaseCSVTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean>
{
private final ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(DatabaseExampleActivity.this);
#Override
protected void onPreExecute()
{
this.dialog.setMessage("Exporting database...");
this.dialog.show();
}
protected Boolean doInBackground(final String... args)
{
File dbFile=getDatabasePath("database_name");
//AABDatabaseManager dbhelper = new AABDatabaseManager(getApplicationContext());
AABDatabaseManager dbhelper = new AABDatabaseManager(DatabaseExampleActivity.this) ;
System.out.println(dbFile); // displays the data base path in your logcat
File exportDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "");
if (!exportDir.exists())
{
exportDir.mkdirs();
}
File file = new File(exportDir, "excerDB.csv");
try
{
if (file.createNewFile()){
System.out.println("File is created!");
System.out.println("myfile.csv "+file.getAbsolutePath());
}else{
System.out.println("File already exists.");
}
CSVWriter csvWrite = new CSVWriter(new FileWriter(file));
//SQLiteDatabase db = dbhelper.getWritableDatabase();
Cursor curCSV=db.getdb().rawQuery("select * from " + db.TABLE_NAME,null);
csvWrite.writeNext(curCSV.getColumnNames());
while(curCSV.moveToNext())
{
String arrStr[] ={curCSV.getString(0),curCSV.getString(1),curCSV.getString(2)};
/*curCSV.getString(3),curCSV.getString(4)};*/
csvWrite.writeNext(arrStr);
}
csvWrite.close();
curCSV.close();
/*String data="";
data=readSavedData();
data= data.replace(",", ";");
writeData(data);*/
return true;
}
catch(SQLException sqlEx)
{
Log.e("MainActivity", sqlEx.getMessage(), sqlEx);
return false;
}
catch (IOException e)
{
Log.e("MainActivity", e.getMessage(), e);
return false;
}
}
protected void onPostExecute(final Boolean success)
{
if (this.dialog.isShowing())
{
this.dialog.dismiss();
}
if (success)
{
Toast.makeText(DatabaseExampleActivity.this, "Export succeed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

I know this question is a little old but it provided me with the answer to the same question. I've cleaned up the code a little and done away with the need to write a csv file altogether by getting my database helper class to return me an ArrayList. Still using Apache POI though.
File folder =new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+APP_FILES_PATH);
if(!folder.exists())
{
folder.mkdir();
}
DatabaseHelper dbHelper = DatabaseHelper.getInstance(context);
ArrayList<String[]> exts = dbHelper.getExtinguisherArray(1);
HSSFWorkbook hwb = new HSSFWorkbook();
HSSFSheet sheet = hwb.createSheet("extinguishers");
for(int x = 0; x < exts.size(); x++)
{
String[] arr = exts.get(x);
HSSFRow row = sheet.createRow(x);
for(int i = 0; i< arr.length; i++)
{
HSSFCell cell = row.createCell(i);
String data = arr[i];
cell.setCellValue(data);
}
}
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+APP_FILES_PATH+"file.xls");
hwb.write(fileOut);
fileOut.close();
Export Android SqliteDb to CSV format
You need to do these step...
add this jar file opencsv-1.7.jar http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/o/Downloadopencsv17jar.htm
And then use this code
public class ExportDatabaseToCSV{
Context context;
public ExportDatabaseToCSV(Context context) {
this.context=context;
}
public void exportDataBaseIntoCSV(){
CredentialDb db = new CredentialDb(context);//here CredentialDb is my database. you can create your db object.
File exportDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "");
if (!exportDir.exists())
{
exportDir.mkdirs();
}
File file = new File(exportDir, "csvfilename.csv");
try
{
file.createNewFile();
CSVWriter csvWrite = new CSVWriter(new FileWriter(file));
SQLiteDatabase sql_db = db.getReadableDatabase();//here create a method ,and return SQLiteDatabaseObject.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor curCSV = sql_db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM "+CredentialDb.TABLE_NAME,null);
csvWrite.writeNext(curCSV.getColumnNames());
while(curCSV.moveToNext())
{
//Which column you want to export you can add over here...
String arrStr[] ={curCSV.getString(0),curCSV.getString(1), curCSV.getString(2)};
csvWrite.writeNext(arrStr);
}
csvWrite.close();
curCSV.close();
}
catch(Exception sqlEx)
{
Log.e("Error:", sqlEx.getMessage(), sqlEx);
}
}
}
In addition to #user2324120's answer, and as we're in Android, you can directly add the libs to gradle (and therefore you don't need to download the jars) :
compile 'com.opencsv:opencsv:3.7'
compile 'org.apache.poi:poi:3.14'
I also did it a different way, a way more customisable one (and without useless CSV transition). Here it is, with a few comments :
public static Pair<Boolean, String> exportToXLS(Context context, boolean byAuthor) {
try {
HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook();
HSSFSheet sheet = workbook.createSheet(context.getString(R.string.sheet_name)); // Good for localization
initSheetColumns(context, workbook, sheet, byAuthor);
addBooksToSheet(sheet, byAuthor);
setColumsWidth(sheet);
OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(new File(Methods.getDownloadsDirectory(), byAuthor ? context.getString(R.string.mylibrary_by_author_xls) : context.getString(R.string.mylibrary_xls)).getAbsolutePath());
workbook.write(outputStream);
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
return new Pair<>(true, context.getString(R.string.database_saved));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return new Pair<>(false, context.getString(R.string.an_error_has_occured_during_xls_file_creation));
}
}
private static void initSheetColumns(Context context, HSSFWorkbook workbook, HSSFSheet sheet, boolean byAuthor) {
HSSFRow row = sheet.createRow(0);
HSSFCell cell = row.createCell(0);
cell.setCellValue(byAuthor ? context.getString(R.string.db_author) : context.getString(R.string.db_title));
cell = row.createCell(1);
cell.setCellValue(byAuthor ? context.getString(R.string.db_title) : context.getString(R.string.db_author));
cell = row.createCell(2);
cell.setCellValue(context.getString(R.string.db_publisheddate));
/*
etc.
*/
boldHeaders(workbook, row);
}
private static void boldHeaders(HSSFWorkbook workbook, HSSFRow row) {
HSSFCellStyle style = workbook.createCellStyle();
/* Do your own style
...
*/
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
row.getCell(i).setCellStyle(style);
}
}
// Allow data personalisation and localisation if needed
private static void addBooksToSheet(HSSFSheet sheet, boolean byAuthor) {
int i = 1;
List<Book> books = Book.listAll(Book.class); // I use Sugar library here, if you're not just make a simple db query to get your objects
Collections.sort(books, byAuthor ? Book.bookAuthorComparator : Book.bookNameComparator);
for (Book book : books) {
HSSFRow row = sheet.createRow(i);
HSSFCell cell = row.createCell(0);
cell.setCellValue(byAuthor ? getBookValue(book, true) : book.getTitle());
cell = row.createCell(1);
cell.setCellValue(byAuthor ? book.getTitle() : getBookValue(book, false));
cell = row.createCell(2);
cell.setCellValue(book.getPublishedDate());
/*
etc.
*/
i++;
}
}
private static void setColumsWidth(HSSFSheet sheet) {
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
sheet.setColumnWidth(i, 255 * getMaxNumCharacters(sheet, i)); // Autosize not working on Android
}
}
// My method to get the max num char, if it can hekp
public static int getMaxNumCharacters(Sheet sheet, int column) {
int max = 0;
for (int rowIndex = 0; rowIndex <= sheet.getLastRowNum(); rowIndex++) {
Row row = sheet.getRow(rowIndex);
if (row == null) {
continue;
}
Cell cell = row.getCell(column);
if (cell != null) {
int nb = cell.getStringCellValue().length();
if (nb > max) {
max = nb;
}
}
}
max = (int) (max * 1.1);
if (max > 255) {
return 255; // max 255 char for width
}
return max;
}
Hope it helps!
