Array, with if statement

So i am busy with a program where i have this array called names and in the array i have the following data:
public static String [] name = {"Products", "Customers","Calculators","Logout"};
public static String [] subName = {"140 wide Plain", "140 wide Pattern", "280 wide Running width", "280 wide plain drops","280 wide pattern drops"};
now the following code i am trying to implement an if statement:
private List<TitleMenu> getList() {
List<TitleMenu> list = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {
List<SubTitle> subTitles = new ArrayList<>();
if (names.equals("Calculators")){
for (int j = 0; j < subNames.length; j++) {
SubTitle subTitle = new SubTitle(subNames[j]);
subTitles.add(subTitle);
}}
TitleMenu model = new TitleMenu(names[i], subTitles, null);
list.add(model);
}
return list;
}
so i only want the second portion of my code to implement if the if statement is correct but i cant seem to get the if statement correct. I am coding in android studio so i dont know how my if statement needs to be

You need to reference the indices of the array. Each index in an array is represented by a number that starts at base zero. This is an important and fundamental concept across many programming languages.
It also looks like your array's name is not names and is name.
So you could check to see if the name is "Calculators" by doing something like this:
if (name[i].equals("Calculators")) { ... }

Cursor is looping but repeats only the first value

I created a loop that will get the data from my cursor, however I noticed that even though it is looping(with the correct count) it only shows the first value.
int vv = 0;
if ((CR3.moveToFirst()) || CR3.getCount() !=0){
while (CR3.isAfterLast() == false) {
vendoName[vv] = CR3.getString(0);
vendoEsch[vv] = CR3.getString(1);
vendoAsch[vv] = CR3.getString(2);
vendoTag[vv] = CR3.getString(3);
vv++;
CR3.moveToNext();
}}
and when I call all my data( I only need the first three records)
ArrayList<SearchResults2> results2 = new ArrayList<SearchResults2>();
SearchResults2 sr2 = new SearchResults2();
for(int j = 0;j < 3;j++)
{
sr2.setName(vendoName[j]);
sr2.setEsch(vendoEsch[j]);
sr2.setAsch(vendoAsch[j]);
sr2.setTag(vendoTag[j]);
results2.add(sr2);
}
I am putting inside a listview, when I check, it is showing always the first data.
This is an example I used as a reference to my code(It's almost the same except that I used an array to put my data from)

Am I doing something wrong which is why it is only getting the first piece of data?

Is it not easier to do something like this (if you don't need more than 3 results):
ArrayList<SearchResults2> results2 = new ArrayList<SearchResults2>();
CR3.moveToFirst();
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
SearchResults2 sr2 = new SearchResults2();
sr2.setName(CR3.getString(0));
sr2.setEsch(CR3.getString(1));
sr2.setAsch(CR3.getString(2));
sr2.setTag(CR3.getString(3));
results2.add(sr2);
CR3.moveToNext();
}
I think that maybe the cursor doesn't iterate properly through your results in your while-loop and that's why you become one and the same result for the three items

Android - moving char array value to same char array

how am I going to move the value of a char array to the same char array? Here's a code:
Assuming ctr_r1=1 ,
for(int ctr_x = (ctr_r1 + 2) ; ctr_x < letters.length - 2 ; ctr_x++)
{
letters[ctr_x] = letters[ctr_x];
}
sb.append(letters);
char[] lettersr1 = sb.toString().toCharArray();
sb1.append(lettersr1);
append the "letters", then convert it to string, then convert it to char array then make it as "lettersr1" value.
what im trying to accomplish is given the word EUCHARIST, i need to take the word HARIST out and place it on another array and call it region 1 (Porter2 stemming algorithm).
The code "ctr_X = (ctr_r1 + 2)" starts with H until T. The problem is I cannot pass the value directly that's why i'm trying to update the existing char array then append it.
I tried doing this:
char[] lettersr1 = null;
for(int ctr_x = (ctr_r1 + 2) ; ctr_x < letters.length - 2 ; ctr_x++)
{
lettersr1[ctr_x] = letters[ctr_x];
}
sb.append(lettersr1);
but my app crashes when i do that. Any help please. Thanks!

I don't understand what you're trying to do, but I can comment on your code:
letters[ctr_x] = letters[ctr_x];
This is a noop: it sets an array element value to the value it already has.
char[] lettersr1 = null;
for(int ctr_x = (ctr_r1 + 2) ; ctr_x < letters.length - 2 ; ctr_x++) {
lettersr1[ctr_x] = letters[ctr_x];
This obviously causes a NullPointerException, since you're trying to access an array which is null. You must initialize the array before being able to modify it:
char[] lettersr1 = new char[someLength];
Additional note: you should choose better names for your variables. The names should tell what the variable represents, and they should respect the Java naming conventions (no underscores in variable names, camelCase). ctr_x, ctr_r1 and lettersr1 don't mean anything.
EDIT:
I'm still not sure what you want to do, and why you don't simply use substring(), but here's how to transform EUCHARIST to HARIST:
char[] eucharist = "EUCHARIST".toCharArray();
char[] harist = new char[6];
System.arraycopy(eucharist, 3, harist, 0, 6);
String haristAsString = new String(harist);
System.out.println(haristAsString);
// or
char[] harist2 = new char[6];
for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
harist2[i] = eucharist[i + 3];
}
String harist2AsString = new String(harist2);
System.out.println(harist2AsString);
// or
String harist3AsString = "EUCHARIST".substring(3);
char[] harist3 = harist3AsString.toCharArray();
System.out.println(harist3AsString);

May be so:
String str = "EUCHARIST";
str = str.substring(3);
and after toCharArray() or smth another

Array integer Android

ok so i create an array that has integers. The array displays five number from the min and max. How can i display all five numbers in a textview or edittext ? I tried:
nameofile.setText(al.get(x).toString());
but it only displays one?
ArrayList<Integer> al = new ArrayList<Integer>();
for (int i = minint; i <= maxint; i++)
al.add(i);
Random ran = new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
int x = al.remove(ran.nextInt(al.size()));
String myString = TextUtils.join(", ", al);
lottonumbers.setText(myString);

ArrayList<Integer> al = new ArrayList<Integer>();
al.add(0);
al.add(1);
al.add(5);
al.add(4);
al.add(3);
java.util.Collections.sort(al);//for sorting Integer values
String listString = "";
for (int s : al)
{
listString += s + " ";
}
nameofile.setText(listString);

You're currently only printing out one element (the one at index x). If you want to print them all in order, you can just join them using TextUtils.join().
Update: After seeing your edit, I think there's a better way to go about what you're trying to do. Instead of trying to pull the values one at a time, and update the list, why not just shuffle them, then use the above method?
Update 2: Okay, I think I finally understand your problem. Just a simple change, then.
ArrayList<Integer> al = new ArrayList<Integer>();
for (int i = minint; i <= maxint; i++)
al.add(i);
Random ran = new Random();
StringBuilder text = new StringBuilder(); // Create a builder
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
int x = al.remove(ran.nextInt(al.size()));
if (i > 0)
text.append(", "); // Add a comma if we're not at the start
text.append(x);
}
lottonumbers.setText(text);

al.get(x).toString() will only get the value at index "x". If you want to display all values, you need to combine all of the values from the array into a single string then use setText on that string.

You are only showing one number of your array in the TextView, you must to concat the numbers to see the others results like:
for(Integer integer : al) {
nameofile.setText(nameofile.getText() + " " + al.get(x).toString());
}
Then i think you can show all number in one String.

Android how to print a array in text view or anything

I have a array of words and I would like to print the array of words onto the screen in a text view after a button is clicked. i was using a for loop to go through the whole list and then set text, but i keep getting a error with that plus it will just replace the last value, so it wont print the whole array. If anybody could explain to me how to do like a g.drawSting() but android version that would be great. my code rt now is not with me but it something like:
-I'm a beginner to android btw, probably could tell by this question tho.
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
//code for a button just being pressed{
//goes to two methods to fix the private array{
for(int y=0; y<=array.size()-1; y++){
textArea.setText(aarray.get(y)); //prints all strings in the array
}
}
}

int arraySize = myArray.size();
for(int i = 0; i < arraySize; i++) {
myTextView.append(myArray[i]);
}
if you want to print one by one, then use \n
myTextView.append(myArray[i]);
myTextView.append("\n");
PS:
Whoever suggesting to change .size() to .length(), thanks for you suggestion.
FYI,
The questioner mentioned the variable name is array.size() in question, so the answer also having the same variable name, to make it easier for the questioner.
if your variable (myArray) is an Array use myArray.length(), if it is ArrayList use myArray.size()

You have to combine all text into a String before you can give it the TextView. Otherwise you overwrite the text all the time.
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
int size = array.size();
boolean appendSeparator = false;
for(int y=0; y < size; y++){
if (appendSeparator)
sb.append(','); // a comma
appendSeparator = true;
sb.append(array.get(y));
}
textArea.setText(sb.toString());
}

I use this no-index solution, just an easy to remember one liner:
for(File file:list) Log.d(TAG, "list: " + file.getPath());
