Comparison of app version

How to compare app version in android
I got latest version code and current version code , but the problem is
current version is 1.0
and latest version is 1.0.0
so how to compare that float value in android

I have written a small Android library for comparing version numbers: https://github.com/G00fY2/version-compare
What it basically does is this:
public int compareVersions(String versionA, String versionB) {
String[] versionTokensA = versionA.split("\\.");
String[] versionTokensB = versionB.split("\\.");
List<Integer> versionNumbersA = new ArrayList<>();
List<Integer> versionNumbersB = new ArrayList<>();
for (String versionToken : versionTokensA) {
versionNumbersA.add(Integer.parseInt(versionToken));
}
for (String versionToken : versionTokensB) {
versionNumbersB.add(Integer.parseInt(versionToken));
}
final int versionASize = versionNumbersA.size();
final int versionBSize = versionNumbersB.size();
int maxSize = Math.max(versionASize, versionBSize);
for (int i = 0; i < maxSize; i++) {
if ((i < versionASize ? versionNumbersA.get(i) : 0) > (i < versionBSize ? versionNumbersB.get(i) : 0)) {
return 1;
} else if ((i < versionASize ? versionNumbersA.get(i) : 0) < (i < versionBSize ? versionNumbersB.get(i) : 0)) {
return -1;
}
}
return 0;
}
This snippet doesn't offer any error checks or handling. Beside that my library also supports suffixes like "1.2-rc" > "1.2-beta".

I am a bit late to the party but I have a great solution for all of you!
1. Use this class:
public class VersionComparator implements Comparator {
public boolean equals(Object o1, Object o2) {
return compare(o1, o2) == 0;
}
public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
String version1 = (String) o1;
String version2 = (String) o2;
VersionTokenizer tokenizer1 = new VersionTokenizer(version1);
VersionTokenizer tokenizer2 = new VersionTokenizer(version2);
int number1, number2;
String suffix1, suffix2;
while (tokenizer1.MoveNext()) {
if (!tokenizer2.MoveNext()) {
do {
number1 = tokenizer1.getNumber();
suffix1 = tokenizer1.getSuffix();
if (number1 != 0 || suffix1.length() != 0) {
// Version one is longer than number two, and non-zero
return 1;
}
}
while (tokenizer1.MoveNext());
// Version one is longer than version two, but zero
return 0;
}
number1 = tokenizer1.getNumber();
suffix1 = tokenizer1.getSuffix();
number2 = tokenizer2.getNumber();
suffix2 = tokenizer2.getSuffix();
if (number1 < number2) {
// Number one is less than number two
return -1;
}
if (number1 > number2) {
// Number one is greater than number two
return 1;
}
boolean empty1 = suffix1.length() == 0;
boolean empty2 = suffix2.length() == 0;
if (empty1 && empty2) continue; // No suffixes
if (empty1) return 1; // First suffix is empty (1.2 > 1.2b)
if (empty2) return -1; // Second suffix is empty (1.2a < 1.2)
// Lexical comparison of suffixes
int result = suffix1.compareTo(suffix2);
if (result != 0) return result;
}
if (tokenizer2.MoveNext()) {
do {
number2 = tokenizer2.getNumber();
suffix2 = tokenizer2.getSuffix();
if (number2 != 0 || suffix2.length() != 0) {
// Version one is longer than version two, and non-zero
return -1;
}
}
while (tokenizer2.MoveNext());
// Version two is longer than version one, but zero
return 0;
}
return 0;
}
// VersionTokenizer.java
public static class VersionTokenizer {
private final String _versionString;
private final int _length;
private int _position;
private int _number;
private String _suffix;
private boolean _hasValue;
VersionTokenizer(String versionString) {
if (versionString == null)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("versionString is null");
_versionString = versionString;
_length = versionString.length();
}
public int getNumber() {
return _number;
}
String getSuffix() {
return _suffix;
}
public boolean hasValue() {
return _hasValue;
}
boolean MoveNext() {
_number = 0;
_suffix = "";
_hasValue = false;
// No more characters
if (_position >= _length)
return false;
_hasValue = true;
while (_position < _length) {
char c = _versionString.charAt(_position);
if (c < '0' || c > '9') break;
_number = _number * 10 + (c - '0');
_position++;
}
int suffixStart = _position;
while (_position < _length) {
char c = _versionString.charAt(_position);
if (c == '.') break;
_position++;
}
_suffix = _versionString.substring(suffixStart, _position);
if (_position < _length) _position++;
return true;
}
}
}
2. create this function
private fun isNewVersionAvailable(currentVersion: String, latestVersion: String): Boolean {
val versionComparator = VersionComparator()
val result: Int = versionComparator.compare(currentVersion, latestVersion)
var op = "=="
if (result < 0) op = "<"
if (result > 0) op = ">"
System.out.printf("%s %s %s\n", currentVersion, op, latestVersion)
return if (op == ">" || op == "==") {
false
} else op == "<"
}
3. and just call it by
e.g. isNewVersionAvailable("1.2.8","1.2.9") where 1.2.8 is your current version here and 1.2.9 is the latest version, which returns true!

Why overcomplicate this so much?
Just scale the major, minor, patch version and you have it covered:
fun getAppVersionFromString(version: String): Int { // "2.3.5"
val versions = version.split(".") // [2, 3, 5]
val major = versions[0].toIntOrDefault(0) * 10000 // 20000
val minor = versions[1].toIntOrDefault(0) * 1000 // 3000
val patch = versions[2].toIntOrDefault(0) * 100 // 500
return major + minor + patch // 2350
}
That way when you compare e.g 9.10.10 with 10.0.0 the second one is greater.

Use the following method to compare the versions number:
Convert float to String first.
public static int versionCompare(String str1, String str2) {
String[] vals1 = str1.split("\\.");
String[] vals2 = str2.split("\\.");
int i = 0;
// set index to first non-equal ordinal or length of shortest version string
while (i < vals1.length && i < vals2.length && vals1[i].equals(vals2[i])) {
i++;
}
// compare first non-equal ordinal number
if (i < vals1.length && i < vals2.length) {
int diff = Integer.valueOf(vals1[i]).compareTo(Integer.valueOf(vals2[i]));
return Integer.signum(diff);
}
// the strings are equal or one string is a substring of the other
// e.g. "1.2.3" = "1.2.3" or "1.2.3" < "1.2.3.4"
return Integer.signum(vals1.length - vals2.length);
}

Android Password Strength checker with seekbar

How to Create Password Strength checker with seekbar in android ?

You can use https://github.com/VenomVendor/Password-Strength-Checker for your requirement
or use TextWatcher for checking EditText length .Like this way
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s)
{
if(s.length()==0)
textViewPasswordStrengthIndiactor.setText("Not Entered");
else if(s.length()<6)
textViewPasswordStrengthIndiactor.setText("EASY");
else if(s.length()<10)
textViewPasswordStrengthIndiactor.setText("MEDIUM");
else if(s.length()<15)
textViewPasswordStrengthIndiactor.setText("STRONG");
else
textViewPasswordStrengthIndiactor.setText("STRONGEST");
if(s.length()==20)
textViewPasswordStrengthIndiactor.setText("Password Max Length Reached");
}
};
Demo Help .
afterTextChanged (Editable s) - This method is called when the text
has been changed. Because any changes you make will cause this method
to be called again recursively, you have to be watchful about
performing operations here, otherwise it might lead to infinite loop.

create a rule engine for password strength, may be a simple function which returns strength when you pass a string to it.
use a TextWatcher on your password edit text and pass any string entered through your rules.
Use returned strength value from your rule engine to set progress value and progress color of your progress bar.

https://github.com/yesterselga/password-strength-checker-android
is a really good example. I changed the code not to use string values. Instead of it I am using values from 0-4. here is the code
public enum PasswordStrength
{
WEAK(0, Color.RED), MEDIUM(1, Color.argb(255, 220, 185, 0)), STRONG(2, Color.GREEN), VERY_STRONG(3, Color.BLUE);
//--------REQUIREMENTS--------
static int REQUIRED_LENGTH = 6;
static int MAXIMUM_LENGTH = 6;
static boolean REQUIRE_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS = true;
static boolean REQUIRE_DIGITS = true;
static boolean REQUIRE_LOWER_CASE = true;
static boolean REQUIRE_UPPER_CASE = true;
int resId;
int color;
PasswordStrength(int resId, int color)
{
this.resId = resId;
this.color = color;
}
public int getValue()
{
return resId;
}
public int getColor()
{
return color;
}
public static PasswordStrength calculateStrength(String password)
{
int currentScore = 0;
boolean sawUpper = false;
boolean sawLower = false;
boolean sawDigit = false;
boolean sawSpecial = false;
for (int i = 0; i < password.length(); i++)
{
char c = password.charAt(i);
if (!sawSpecial && !Character.isLetterOrDigit(c))
{
currentScore += 1;
sawSpecial = true;
}
else
{
if (!sawDigit && Character.isDigit(c))
{
currentScore += 1;
sawDigit = true;
}
else
{
if (!sawUpper || !sawLower)
{
if (Character.isUpperCase(c))
sawUpper = true;
else
sawLower = true;
if (sawUpper && sawLower)
currentScore += 1;
}
}
}
}
if (password.length() > REQUIRED_LENGTH)
{
if ((REQUIRE_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS && !sawSpecial) || (REQUIRE_UPPER_CASE && !sawUpper) || (REQUIRE_LOWER_CASE && !sawLower) || (REQUIRE_DIGITS && !sawDigit))
{
currentScore = 1;
}
else
{
currentScore = 2;
if (password.length() > MAXIMUM_LENGTH)
{
currentScore = 3;
}
}
}
else
{
currentScore = 0;
}
switch (currentScore)
{
case 0:
return WEAK;
case 1:
return MEDIUM;
case 2:
return STRONG;
case 3:
return VERY_STRONG;
default:
}
return VERY_STRONG;
}
}
and how to use it:
if(PasswordStrength.calculateStrength(mViewData.mRegisterData.password). getValue() < PasswordStrength.STRONG.getValue())
{
message = "Password should contain min of 6 characters and at least 1 lowercase, 1 uppercase and 1 numeric value";
return null;
}
you may use PasswordStrength.VERY_STRONG.getValue() as alternative. or MEDIUM

Get Index Of The Shuffled Item After collections.shuffle

I am trying to do a jigsaw puzzle app in android. In this, I have split a Bitmap into many small chunks. These chunks are then displayed in a GridViewNow I need to shuffle them. Then, I need to know each image chunk's actualPosition(where the piece was supposed to be, its actual location in the image) and its currentPosition(where the piece is currently located). actualPosition and currentPosition are 2 integer arrays. So is there a way that I can get each image chunk's currentPosition and actualPosition after the shuffling so that after every move that the user make I can check wether every image chunk's actualPosition equals its currentPosition. If so the user wins the game. Can anyone please help me out.

Below is the number puzzle game in pure Java that works. Can be run from command line.
It re-prints the whole matrix after every move (not pretty). It demos the basic game.
I hope most of the code is self explanatory. This shows the basic 2-dim mapping of the game, position tracking, validating based on numbers. Have fun.

Limiting a user to enter 1 decimal value in Edit Text

The requirement is to limit user from not entering more than 1 decimal value in a numeric/decimal edit text field. That said, I also need to limit the number entry to 6 Max digits. eg. 999999.9
If a user enters numeric alone - then I should be able to limit the user to 6 digits Max, but should allow "." and decimal number(if entered by the user).
I am not sure, how to do this. Any help and reference will be of great help.

Maybe some implementation similar to this? I'm pretty sure it can be optimized a lot!
EditText et;
.....
// force number input type on edittext
et.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL);
et.addTextChangedListener(new CustomTextWatcher(et));
where:
class CustomTextWatcher implements TextWatcher {
private NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
private EditText et;
private String tmp = "";
private int moveCaretTo;
private static final int INTEGER_CONSTRAINT = 6;
private static final int FRACTION_CONSTRAINT = 1;
private static final int MAX_LENGTH = INTEGER_CONSTRAINT + FRACTION_CONSTRAINT + 1;
public CustomTextWatcher(EditText et) {
this.et = et;
nf.setMaximumIntegerDigits(INTEGER_CONSTRAINT);
nf.setMaximumFractionDigits(FRACTION_CONSTRAINT);
nf.setGroupingUsed(false);
}
public int countOccurrences(String str, char c) {
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
if (str.charAt(i) == c) {
count++;
}
}
return count;
}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
et.removeTextChangedListener(this); // remove to prevent stackoverflow
String ss = s.toString();
int len = ss.length();
int dots = countOccurrences(ss, '.');
boolean shouldParse = dots <= 1 && (dots == 0 ? len != (INTEGER_CONSTRAINT + 1) : len < (MAX_LENGTH + 1));
if (shouldParse) {
if (len > 1 && ss.lastIndexOf(".") != len - 1) {
try {
Double d = Double.parseDouble(ss);
if (d != null) {
et.setText(nf.format(d));
}
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
}
}
} else {
et.setText(tmp);
}
et.addTextChangedListener(this); // reset listener
//tried to fix caret positioning after key type:
if (et.getText().toString().length() > 0) {
if (dots == 0 && len >= INTEGER_CONSTRAINT && moveCaretTo > INTEGER_CONSTRAINT) {
moveCaretTo = INTEGER_CONSTRAINT;
} else if (dots > 0 && len >= (MAX_LENGTH) && moveCaretTo > (MAX_LENGTH)) {
moveCaretTo = MAX_LENGTH;
}
try {
et.setSelection(et.getText().toString().length());
// et.setSelection(moveCaretTo); <- almost had it :))
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
}
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
moveCaretTo = et.getSelectionEnd();
tmp = s.toString();
}
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
int length = et.getText().toString().length();
if (length > 0) {
moveCaretTo = start + count - before;
}
}
}
Not 100% but you can use as a base and build on top of it ;)
EDIT: tried to polishing setting the caret position after text changed but it was more difficult than I estimated and reverted to setting the caret at the end after each char input. I left the code I started on for the caret maybe you can improve it?

There is a small mistake in above answer

use it as below..
itemCostEditText.addTextChangedListener(new DecimalTextWatcher(itemCostEditText, 6, 2));

You can make use of TextWatcher's afterTextChanged/onTextChanged methods to get notified for text changes and DecimalFormat to format input text

Application randomly stops responding.

I am new to programming and I'm making a very simple blackjack game with only basic functions. When I run the program on the emulator it runs maybe for one hand, two, sometimes 5 or more but it always stops responding at some stage when i click on one of the three butons. There is a splash screen that runs for three seconds and the there is a thread comming from that activity that starts this menu activity. Could anyone maybe tell why this is happening? It usually happens when I clcik on one of the buttons even though there is no much comput

Use the debugger in eclipse to find out where it gets frozen.
Also the android emulator is very slow even with a fast PC.

Try using the low resolution simulators.
open DDMS from the android-sdk\tools and check which method or thread is taking more time to execute.
Use AsyncTask or Handler when there is a functional(Computational) things running.
