How do I get the default print service?

By Wayan in Core API, Print Service 0 Comment

To look up the default print service we can use the javax.print.PrintServiceLookup class lookupDefaultPrintService() method.

package org.kodejava.print;

import javax.print.PrintService;
import javax.print.PrintServiceLookup;

public class GetPrinter {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Gets the default print service for this environment. Null is returned when 
        // no default print service found.
        PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
        if (service != null) {
            String printServiceName = service.getName();
            System.out.println("Print Service Name = " + printServiceName);
        } else {
            System.out.println("No default print service found.");
        }
    }
}

The result of the code snippet above:

Print Service Name = HP LaserJet P1005

        String imageFile = "/logo.png";
        CustomTextPane textPane = new CustomTextPane(imageFile);

        JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(textPane);
        scrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(getWidth(), getHeight()));

How do I sort string of numbers in ascending order?

By Wayan in Core API, Util Package 2 Comments

In the following example we are going to sort a string containing the following numbers "2, 5, 9, 1, 10, 7, 4, 8" in ascending order, so we will get the result of "1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10".

package org.kodejava.util;

import java.util.Arrays;

public class SortStringNumber {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // We have some string numbers separated by comma. First we
        // need to split it, so we can get each individual number.
        String data = "2, 5, 9, 1, 10, 7, 4, 8";
        String[] numbers = data.split(",");

        // Convert the string numbers into Integer and placed it into
        // an array of Integer.
        Integer[] intValues = new Integer[numbers.length];
        for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
            intValues[i] = Integer.parseInt(numbers[i].trim());
        }

        // Sort the number in ascending order using the
        // Arrays.sort() method.
        Arrays.sort(intValues);

        // Convert back the sorted number into string using the
        // StringBuilder object. Prints the sorted string numbers.
        StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
        for (int i = 0; i < intValues.length; i++) {
            Integer intValue = intValues[i];
            builder.append(intValue);
            if (i < intValues.length - 1) {
                builder.append(", ");
            }
        }
        System.out.println("Before = " + data);
        System.out.println("After  = " + builder);
    }
}

When we run the program we will get the following output:

Before = 2, 5, 9, 1, 10, 7, 4, 8
After  = 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10
