How do I calculate process execution time in higher resolution?

By I Wayan Saryada in Core API, Lang Package 0 Comment

This example demonstrates how to use the System.nanoTime() method to calculate processing execution time in higher resolution. The processing time calculated in nanoseconds resolution.

package org.kodejava.lang;

public class NanoSecondsTimerResolution {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Get process execution start time in nanoseconds.
        long start = System.nanoTime();
        System.out.println("Process start... " + start);

        try {
            Thread.sleep(5000); // Simulate a long process.
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        // Get process execution finish time in nanoseconds.
        long finish = System.nanoTime();
        System.out.println("Process finish... " + finish);

        // Calculate the process execution time.
        long execTime = finish - start;
        System.out.println("Processing time = " + execTime + "(ns)");
    }
}

How do I convert JDOM Document to String?

By I Wayan Saryada in JDOM 0 Comment

This example demonstrate how to convert JDOM Document object to a String using the XMLOutputter.outputString(Document doc) method.

package org.kodejava.jdom;

import org.jdom2.Document;
import org.jdom2.Element;
import org.jdom2.output.Format;
import org.jdom2.output.XMLOutputter;

public class JDOMDocumentToString {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Document document = new Document();
        Element root = new Element("rows");

        // Creating a child for the root element. Here we can see how to
        // set the text of an xml element.
        Element child = new Element("row");
        child.addContent(new Element("firstname").setText("Alice"));
        child.addContent(new Element("lastname").setText("Mallory"));
        child.addContent(new Element("address").setText("Sunset Road"));

        // Add the child to the root element and add the root element as
        // the document content.
        root.addContent(child);
        document.setContent(root);

        // Create an XMLOutputter object with pretty formatter. Calling
        // the outputString(Document doc) method convert the document
        // into string data.
        XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter(Format.getPrettyFormat());
        String xmlString = outputter.outputString(document);
        System.out.println(xmlString);
    }
}

The result of our code snippet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rows>
  <row>
    <firstname>Alice</firstname>
    <lastname>Mallory</lastname>
    <address>Sunset Road</address>
  </row>
</rows>

How do I get the default print service?

By I Wayan Saryada 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

How do I add background image in JTextPane?

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(
                () -> new TextPaneWithBackgroundImage().setVisible(true));
    }

    private void initUI() {
        setSize(500, 500);

How do I sort string of numbers in ascending order?

By I Wayan Saryada 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
