How do I read user input from console using java.util.Scanner class?

By Wayan in Core API, Util Package 1 Comment

In JDK 1.5 a java.util.Scanner class was introduced to handle user input in console application. This class enable us to read string, integer, long, etc.

package org.kodejava.util;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class ScannerDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

        // Read string input for username
        System.out.print("Username: ");
        String username = scanner.nextLine();

        // Read string input for password
        System.out.print("Password: ");
        String password = scanner.nextLine();

        // Read an integer input for another challenge
        System.out.print("What is 2 + 2: ");
        int result = scanner.nextInt();

        if (username.equals("admin")
                && password.equals("secret") && result == 4) {
            System.out.println("Welcome to Java Application");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Invalid username or password, " +
                    "access denied!");
        }
    }
}

The result of the code snippet:

Username: admin
Password: secret
What is 2 + 2: 4
Welcome to Java Application

How do I use ResourceBundle for i18n?

By Wayan in Core API, Util Package 0 Comment

Creating an application for users in different regions can be hard in terms of the message format for the local region. Java provide a ResourceBundle class that help internationalize our application.

To create resources for i18n (there are 18 letters between the first i and the final n) we need to create a file for each locale our application supported. The file name must be ended in language_COUNTRY.properties. For instance a resource bundle for Locale.UK will be MessagesBundle_en_GB.properties.

When the bundle has been loaded we can use bundle.getString(key) to read specific message from our resource bundle file.

package org.kodejava.util;

import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;

public class InternationalizationDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Load resource bundle for Locale.UK locale. The resource 
        // bundle will load the MessagesBundle_en_GB.properties file.
        ResourceBundle bundle =
                ResourceBundle.getBundle("MessagesBundle", Locale.UK);
        System.out.println("Message in " + Locale.UK + ": " +
                bundle.getString("greeting"));

        // Change the default locale to Indonesian and get the default 
        // resource bundle for the current locale.
        Locale.setDefault(new Locale("in", "ID"));
        bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("MessagesBundle");
        System.out.println("Message in " + Locale.getDefault() + ": " +
                bundle.getString("greeting"));
    }
}

Below are some example of our resource bundle files, these files should be located in our application classpath to enable the ResourceBundle class to read it.

MessagesBundle_en_GB.properties

greeting=Hello, how are you?

MessagesBundle_in_ID.properties

greeting=Halo, apa kabar?

How do I convert time between timezone?

package org.kodejava.util;

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import java.util.TimeZone;

public class TimeZoneExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create a calendar object and set it time based on the local
        // time zone
        Calendar localTime = Calendar.getInstance();
        localTime.set(Calendar.HOUR, 17);
        localTime.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 15);
        localTime.set(Calendar.SECOND, 20);

        int hour = localTime.get(Calendar.HOUR);
        int minute = localTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
        int second = localTime.get(Calendar.SECOND);

        // Print the local time
        System.out.printf("Local time  : %02d:%02d:%02d\n", hour, minute, second);

        // Create a calendar object for representing a Germany time zone. Then we
        // wet the time of the calendar with the value of the local time
        Calendar germanyTime = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Germany"));
        germanyTime.setTimeInMillis(localTime.getTimeInMillis());
        hour = germanyTime.get(Calendar.HOUR);
        minute = germanyTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
        second = germanyTime.get(Calendar.SECOND);

        // Print the local time in Germany time zone
        System.out.printf("Germany time: %02d:%02d:%02dn", hour, minute, second);
    }
}

How do I set default Locale?

package org.kodejava.util;

import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.Random;

public class DefaultLocaleExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Use Random class to generate some random number
        Random random = new Random();

        // We use the system default locale to format a number and a date.
        NumberFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat();
        Locale locale = Locale.getDefault();
        System.out.println("Default Locale = " + locale);
        System.out.println("Number         = " + formatter.format(random.nextDouble()));
        System.out.println("Date           = " + new SimpleDateFormat().format(new Date()));

        // We change the default locale to Locale.ITALY by setting it through 
        // the Locale.setDefault() method, and then we format another number
        // and date using a new locale. This change will affect all the class 
        // that aware to the Locale, such as the NumberFormat class.
        Locale.setDefault(Locale.ITALY);
        NumberFormat newFormatter = new DecimalFormat();
        System.out.println("New Locale     = " + Locale.getDefault());
        System.out.println("Number         = " + newFormatter.format(random.nextDouble()));
        System.out.println("Date           = " + new SimpleDateFormat().format(new Date()));
    }
}

The result of the code snippet above are:

Default Locale = en_US
Number         = 0.557
Date           = 9/26/21, 12:05 PM
New Locale     = it_IT
Number         = 0,217
Date           = 26/09/21, 12:05

How do I remove duplicate element from array?

By Wayan in Core API, Util Package 0 Comment

This example demonstrates you how to remove duplicate elements from an array using the help of java.util.HashSet class.

package org.kodejava.util;

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Set;

public class ArrayRemoveDuplicate {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // A string array with duplicate values.
        String[] data = {"A", "C", "B", "D", "A", "B", "E", "D", "B", "C"};
        System.out.println("Original array         : " + Arrays.toString(data));

        // Convert a string array into java.util.List because we need a list
        // object to create the java.util.Set object.
        List<String> list = Arrays.asList(data);

        // A set is a collection object that cannot have a duplicate values,
        // by converting the array to a set the duplicate value will be removed.
        Set<String> set = new HashSet<>(list);

        // Convert the java.util.Set back to array using the toArray() method of
        // the set object copy the value in the set to the defined array.
        String[] result = set.toArray(new String[0]);
        System.out.println("Array with no duplicate: " + Arrays.toString(result));
    }
}

The result of the code snippet above:

Original array         : [A, C, B, D, A, B, E, D, B, C]
Array with no duplicate: [A, B, C, D, E]
