All Of ArrayList Objects Have Been Given Index Of -1
Nov 15, 2014
So I am working on an assignment and ran into an annoying bug. Basically i have a menu that accesses an ArrayList of Videos which may or may not be read from a file, one of the options of the menu is to edit an existing Video. For this I ask the user for the number of the video and it is checked against the list of video numbers if it returns a match, the method gets the index of the Video object and stores it in a temporary variable the user is allowed to edit the details and the object is put back into the ArrayList using the variable and the ArrayList's set() method
My problem is that once i finish editing the details of a video it gives me a indexOutOfBounds exception
On further investigation using a method that goes through the index of every object in the ArrayList using indexOf() i found out that every single object has been given the index of -1 and not 0,1,2,3 etc.. This is my first error and have not expierenced any other before.
The objects do exist because I have read them from a file. I can also add new Objects and view them successfully but they still have the same index . I have checked my syntax and everything and no errors, this happens at run time only.
I have even created some other ArrayLists seperately and debugged them and their index order is fine. I am too far into this project to start over. I've also tried cleaning the project(my IDE is Eclipse).
How could I check if an index is exist in an array list? I mean, I should enter an integer and it should return me a boolean result that saying whether if that entered value is an index or not.
I am just studying over ArrayLists and i have encountered a problem, i'm trying to get the index of an element but it keeps returning -1. Here's the code
Java Code:
import java.util.ArrayList; public class PhoneEntry { String name; String phone; public PhoneEntry(String name, String phone) {
[Code] ...
I know the list is not empty because it returns a size.
I am working on the Kevin Bacon - 6 degrees of bacon problem. I want to take my Array List and use the index and Values that I have saved in it as the Key and Value of a Hashmap. Below is my code.
HashMap<Integer, ArrayList<String>> actors = new HashMap<Integer, ArrayList<String>>(); ArrayList array = new ArrayList(); try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader( new FileReader("actors.txt"));)
[code]...
saving each one in it's own spot. I want to use the index of each one as the key to find it in the Hashmap....
and the corresponding snippets of the Java code are:
// Class member variables // ... private String product; private ArrayList<String> productValues; private ArrayList<String> productLabels; private SelectItem[] products; // ... Various properties etc. public String getLocation() { // Displayed on a page
[code]....
Most of this works correctly using only ArrayList SelectItem products without the two ArrayList and the separate SelectItem[], and the values and labels are put directly into products here. The menu works and I can select an item. However, I am unable to find the correct method for finding the index in the submit method,namely:
public void submit(ActionEvent e) { showProduct = true; prodNum = products.indexOf(product); // --- Here is the problem! updateProduct(); }
which has not been changed here. In spite of trying out various ideas, prodNum always returns with -1, which means it cannot find the index of the selected product, where product is a String. Everything else seems to work correctly, and products.get(prodNum).getLabel() works if I manually give prodNum a valid index, but because it's -1 it fails.
I have been trying to get this method to work for a few hours now, for some reason I get an IndexOutOfBounds exception every time. Basically I am trying to read a txt file and add the words to an ArrayList as strings separated by a space .
private ArrayList<String> readLinesFromFile(BufferedReader inputFile) throws IOException { String value = null; ArrayList<String> result = new ArrayList<String>(); while((value = inputFile.readLine()) != null){ String[] values = value.split(" "); for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++){ result.add(values[i]); } } return result; }
I have a ArrayList of objects of class called HockeyPlayer (ArrayList<HockeyPlayer>). A HockeyPlayer has a String name and int number of goals.
This is my current work for comparing each object in the list to every other and printing them to screen:
Iterator<HockeyPlayer> it = hockeyPlayersList.iterator(); while (it.hasNext()) { HockeyPlayer singleHockeyPlayer = it.next(); //the first one encountered // HockeyPlayer nextHockeyPlayer = it.next(); //the next one encountered
[Code]...
This of course produces some duplication in the print-out: These are the equal hockey players: Who Ever wears jersey. This type of employee is paid: true. This employee has post-secondary education: false. This employee's work is to play. This hockey player has scored 0 goals.
Jason Harrison wears jersey. This type of employee is paid: true. This employee has post-secondary education: false. This employee's work is to play. This hockey player has scored 0 goals.

The System.out.println("jsp page: .... &> results in the output: "jsp page: movielist - [Title: Die Hard; Budget: 20000000, Title: two days in paris; Budget: 1000000]" so I am confident the objects are being loaded into the ModelAndView correctly. However the output of the block is "${movie.name}" instead of the list of movies. My movie object has a getName() method to return a string (and a setName() method). I am not sure why the System.out.println statement can find the movielist attribute, but ${movie.name} is being treated a plain text. There are no execptions thrown or other indications of errors.
I want to clone some Arraylist, but the compiler apparently are just referencing the values to it's original ArrayList. I don't know what should it be:
package projetoteste; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; public class TestFood { public static void main(String[] args) { List food=new ArrayList();
[code]....
Notice that ArrayList dailyMeal should be untouchable, but it return the changes that I made in local for-loop iteration although I didn't added nothing to it, just to it's clone.
Okay, I will be as succinct as possible. I am writing a rudimentary book store program for homework. The program consists of two class files and a main. The main issue I am having is on getting the search portion of my program to work. I will post as little as I can and still make sense. This is the block of code belongs to my public Book getBook() method, which is of the BookStore class.
I've two classes: Student and ArrayListExamples (which has my main method in it).
The student class acts pretty simply at the moment with a constructor that takes a name, surname and ID number. I've tested it and it seems to be working. My issue is with adding an object to an array list, here is my effort:
public class ArrayListExamples { private static int MAX_SIZE = 50; static Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); public static void main(String[] args) { ArrayList<Student> students = new ArrayList();
[code]....
I know the last loop to add the student objects is wrong.I'm calling the student ArrayList add method with a student object whose constructor requires two strings and an integer. Why isn't this allowed?
I'm having trouble getting new objects to add to an ArrayList. Instead, every time a new object is created and added, it overwrites the first object. So if I read in four lines from a text file and make them into four objects, each overwrites the previous and only the last object is printed. I can print out the contents correctly if I move the println statement within the if-loop; however, I need all the objects to saved to the list for searching (later implementation). i believe it has something to do with the instances of the object, but I'm a little confused about how to fix it. Here's the portion of the code I'm looking at:
Java Code:
if (fileChooser.showOpenDialog(null) == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) { File file = fileChooser.getSelectedFile(); Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new FileReader(file)); String currentLine; System.out.printf("%-20s %-20s %-20s
How would you display an ArrayList of Objects in a JSP page from a Servlet. Any general example would be fine as long as the example is thorough.
Each created object has more than maybe 6 or 7 properties that all need to print to the JSP.
Would you also include ways of printing it like should it be printed by using a table structure in the JSP and if so how? Things of that nature so that way it is each object has its own line and looks good. I can format it myself, I just need to know how to get it in a table for each object to print on its own row and so on...
I have a problem with my program. My aim is to display in a JPanel, 2 rectangles, and resize them by clicking. I want to give the user the ability to change the height of the rectangles (independently) by moving the top and/or bottom edges. Currently, it displays the 2 rectangles, but impossible to resize and I can not find the solution.
Java Code:
import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter; import java.awt.event.MouseEvent; import java.util.ArrayList; import javax.swing.*; public class Resizing extends JPanel { private static final int PREF_W = 600;

Netbeans underlines 2 lines (in bold).
I've come across something that i'm not overall sure about regarding the static keyword in Java.I'm making a vertical scrolling game where the player simply shoots enemies and they shoot back as they fall, dropping items if they die such as power ups and coins. I have an enemy called Bat and this is the bullet creation code in the update method:
The method is creating a new bullet object and it then adds that to the arraylist called batBullets, which is simple enough. I then need to access this arraylist in the main game update class so I can render those bullets on the screen, even if the bat dies. I was always taught that you use the static keyword when you need to access something from the class that doesn't require an object. Because of this, I have the following code.
for(Bullet bullet : Bat.batBullets){ bullet.setY(bullet.getY - 5); // Set the bullet to fall renderMap.getSpriteBatch().draw(bullet.batBullet(), bullet.getX(), bullet.getY()); // render the bullets }
This seems perfectly fine to me because I need to access the batBullet arraylist and it doesn't make sense to create a new bat object as I already have random spawning in place for them.
I have to create a method with the following header :
public static <E extends Comparable<E> > void sort ( ArrayList<E> list , int left, int right)
i also had to create a swap cells method and position of max integer method. and also had to read the preserved data file in with a scanner. I implemented the comparable interface I am having difficulty sorting my list by the area. It has to be in descending order.
Geometric Object class: since it has comparator also am interested if i need to change this?
CODE:
Driver: public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException { Circle c1 = new Circle (4, "red", false); Circle c2 = new Circle (2, "blue", true); Circle c3 = new Circle (10, "blue", true); Rectangle r1 = new Rectangle (10, 6, "yellow", true); Rectangle r2 = new Rectangle ( 5, 11, "green", true); ArrayList <GeometricObject> list = new ArrayList();
I am trying to create a method for my "ticketmachine" object that counts ticket objects in an arraylist of "ticket" objects with a specified field "route". The method works if i change the field type of the ticket class to public, however according to the homework task "route" of the ticket class needs to remain a private field.
Here is my code for the method.
public int countTickets(String route) //HAD TO CHANGE Ticket class FIELD "ROUTE" TO PUBLIC!!!! { int index = 0; //returns the number of Ticket objects in the machine with the specified "route". int ticketCounter = 0; while (index < tickets.size())
[Code] ....
Is my general approach to the problem wrong? also is there a way to access a private field?
I have a code to resize a single rectangle. I would like to display and resize multiple rectangles independently and according to my research on the net, the best way is to use an arraylist. So I modified the code in this sense, except ...when I run the code, the rectangles appear good but impossible to resize. I think the problem comes from mousePressed, Released, Dragged and Moved methods. When I use the mouse to resize the rectangle, nothing happens. The code does not interact with the arraylist, and therefore with rectangles it "contains". Resizing is my main class, the MouseAdapter is in the Resizer class (below).
Resizing component; boolean dragging = false; // Give user some leeway for selections. final int PROX_DIST = 3; Path2D.Double selectedPath; public Resizer(Resizing rz) { component = rz; component.addMouseListener(this); component.addMouseMotionListener(this);
I'm doubted regarding the implementation of Collections.binarySearch() method on an ArrayList of objects of a custom class Movie.
Here is the movie class :
public class Movie implements Comparable<Movie> { String movieName; String rating; String director; String theme;
[Code] .....
The sort/binarySearch in searchByMovieName function is done with natural sorting (and Comparable Interface in Movie class). I mean no comparators involved here. And the comparator that I used for sorting/binarySearching on Movies Director attribute in searchByMovieDirector function is :
public class MovieDirectorComparator implements Comparator<Movie> { public int compare(Movie movie1, Movie movie2) { return movie1.getDirector().compareToIgnoreCase(movie2.getDirector()); } }
But I was not able to implement binarySearch ?? How to implement the binarySearch here. I have google to see only binarySearch working on Arrays or probably ArrayList of String only, but not on ArrayList of custom objects.
I am currently working on a project where I need to return data from a database over RMI to a client who requests it. Some of the fields in the Data Object can not be seen by the client so I need to create another object to send over the network instead. The method I use is this...
public static SerializableObject createSerializableObjectFromDataObject(DataObject dataObject){ SerializableObject serializableObject = new SerializableObject(); serializableObject.setField(dataObject.getField()); serializableObject.setAnotherField(dataObject.getAnotherField()); return serializableObject; }
Is there a better way of doing this? I am creating many subclasses DataObject which all require this static method to be implemented and I can't push it into the superclass because each one needs custom behaviour.
how String objects are different from other objects
part 1:
// creating two objects Dog mydog1 = new Dog(); Dog mydog2 = new Dog(); // comparing the reference variables if( mydog1 == mydog2){ System.out.println(" The reference variables refer the same object "); } else { System.out.println(" They refer to different objects "); }
The above code works as I understand objects , it prints "They refer to different objects " to the screen.
Part - 2
// creating two objects ( I beleive, pls correct me if i am wrong ) String a = "haai"; String b = "haai";
if( a == b){ System.out.println(" Reference variables refer to same object");
When i run the above code it prints that a and b refer same object , I don't understand how they refer to same object when i didn't assign " String b = a; ". My question is did java just create one object and stored the same reference values to a and b .
I have stumbled onto a problem with ArrayLists (not sure if nested ArrayList objects would be a more accurate description) ....
As simply put as I can describe it, I have an Inventory class which creates an ArrayList of a Product superclass, which has two subclasses, PerishableProduct and ItemisedProduct.
By default, the program is meant to have a starting inventory, which is why I have added them in the constructor
public class Inventory { private List<Product> products; public Inventory() { addProduct(new Product("Frying pan", 15, 20)); addProduct(new PerishableProduct("Apple", 5.8, 30, 7)); addProduct(new ItemisedProduct("Cereal", 5.8, 0)); // this is where I am having problems. Wanting to add // objects to the ItemisedProduct's ArrayList for cereal. }
Within the ItemisedProduct subclass is yet another ArrayList which is meant to hold serial numbers.
public class ItemisedProduct extends Product { private ArrayList<String> serialNumbers = new ArrayList(); public ItemisedProduct(String name, double price, int qty) { super(name, price, qty)
[Code] .....
My problem is that I do not know how to populate the serialNumbers ArrayList from the Inventory class' constructor. Because technically, quantity is defined by how many serial numbers are created.
