Below are 20 very useful Java program snippets, I hope it will be useful to you.
1. Strings have integer conversion
String a = String.valueOf(2); //integer to numeric string int i = Integer.parseInt(a); //numeric string to an int
2. Add content to the end of the file
BufferedWriter out = null; try { out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("filename", true)); out.write("aString"); } catch (IOException e) { // error processing code } finally { if (out != null) { out.close(); } } 3. Get the name of the current method
String methodName = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[1].getMethodName();
4. Turn string to date
java.util.Date = java.text.DateFormat.getDateInstance().parse(date String); or: SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat( "dd.MM.yyyy" ); Date date = format.parse( myString);
5. Link Oracle with JDBC
public class OracleJdbcTest { String driverClass = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"; Connection con; public void init(FileInputStream fs) throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException, FileNotFoundException, IOException { Properties props = new Properties(); props.load(fs); String url = props.getProperty("db.url"); String userName = props.getProperty("db.user"); String password = props.getProperty("db.password"); Class.forName(driverClass); con=DriverManager.getConnection(url, userName, password); } public void fetch() throws SQLException, IOException { PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("select SYSDATE from dual"); ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery(); while (rs.next()) { // do the thing you do } rs.close(); ps.close(); } public static void main(String[] args) { OracleJdbcTest test = new OracleJdbcTest(); test.init(); test.fetch(); } } 6. Convert Java util.Date to sql.Date
java.util.Date utilDate = new java.util.Date(); java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(utilDate.getTime());
7. Use NIO for quick file copying
public static void fileCopy( File in, File out ) throws IOException { FileChannel inChannel = new FileInputStream( in ).getChannel(); FileChannel outChannel = new FileOutputStream( out ).getChannel(); try { // inChannel.transferTo(0, inChannel.size(), outChannel); // original -- apparently has trouble copying large files on Windows // magic number for Windows, 64Mb - 32Kb) int maxCount = (64 * 1024 * 1024) - (32 * 1024); long size = inChannel.size(); long position = 0; while ( position < size ) { position += inChannel.transferTo( position, maxCount, outChannel ); } } finally { if ( inChannel != null ) { inChannel.close(); } if ( outChannel != null ) { outChannel.close(); } } } 8. Create thumbnails of images
private void createThumbnail(String filename, int thumbWidth, int thumbHeight, int quality, String outFilename) throws InterruptedException, FileNotFoundException, IOException { // load image from filename Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(filename); MediaTracker mediaTracker = new MediaTracker(new Container()); mediaTracker.addImage(image, 0); mediaTracker.waitForID(0); // use this to test for errors at this point: System.out.println(mediaTracker.isErrorAny()); // determine thumbnail size from WIDTH and HEIGHT double thumbRatio = (double)thumbWidth / (double)thumbHeight; int imageWidth = image.getWidth(null); int imageHeight = image.getHeight(null); double imageRatio = (double)imageWidth / (double)imageHeight; if (thumbRatio < imageRatio) { thumbHeight = (int)(thumbWidth / imageRatio); } else { thumbWidth = (int)(thumbHeight * imageRatio); } // draw original image to thumbnail image object and // scale it to the new size on-the-fly BufferedImage thumbImage = new BufferedImage(thumbWidth, thumbHeight, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB); Graphics2D graphics2D = thumbImage.createGraphics(); graphics2D.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION, RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR); graphics2D.drawImage(image, 0, 0, thumbWidth, thumbHeight, null); // save thumbnail image to outFilename BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(outFilename)); JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(out); JPEGEncodeParam param = encoder.getDefaultJPEGEncodeParam(thumbImage); quality = Math.max(0, Math.min(quality, 100)); param.setQuality((float)quality / 100.0f, false); encoder.setJPEGEncodeParam(param); encoder.encode(thumbImage); out.close(); }9. Create JSON format data
And the following JAR file: json-rpc-1.0.jar (75 kb)
import org.json.JSONObject; ... ... JSONObject json = new JSONObject(); json.put("city", "Mumbai"); json.put("country", "India"); ... String output = json.toString(); ... 10. Generate PDF using iText JAR
import java.io.File; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.OutputStream; import java.util.Date; import com.lowagie.text.Document; import com.lowagie.text.Paragraph; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter; public class GeneratePDF { public static void main(String[] args) { try { OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(new File("C://Test.pdf")); Document document = new Document(); PdfWriter.getInstance(document, file); document.open(); document.add(new Paragraph("Hello Kiran")); document.add(new Paragraph(new Date().toString())); document.close(); file.close(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } 11. HTTP proxy settings
System.getProperties().put("http.proxyHost", "someProxyURL");
System.getProperties().put("http.proxyPort", "someProxyPort");
System.getProperties().put("http.proxyUser", "someUserName");
System.getProperties().put("http.proxyPassword", "somePassword");
12. Single instance Singleton example
public class SimpleSingleton { private static SimpleSingleton singleInstance = new SimpleSingleton(); //Marking default constructor private //to avoid direct instantiation. private SimpleSingleton() { } //Get instance for class SimpleSingleton public static SimpleSingleton getInstance() { return singleInstance; } } Another implementation
public enum SimpleSingleton { INSTANCE; public void doSomething() { } } //Call the method from Singleton: SimpleSingleton.INSTANCE.doSomething(); 13. Screen capture program
import java.awt.Dimension; import java.awt.Rectangle; import java.awt.Robot; import java.awt.Toolkit; import java.awt.image.BufferedImage; import javax.imageio.ImageIO; import java.io.File; ... public void captureScreen(String fileName) throws Exception { Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize(); Rectangle screenRectangle = new Rectangle(screenSize); Robot robot = new Robot(); BufferedImage image = robot.createScreenCapture(screenRectangle); ImageIO.write(image, "png", new File(fileName)); } ... 14. List files and directories
File dir = new File("directoryName"); String[] children = dir.list(); if (children == null) { // Either dir does not exist or is not a directory } else { for (int i=0; i < children.length; i++) { // Get filename of file or directory String filename = children[i]; } } // It is also possible to filter the list of returned files. // This example does not return any files that start with `.'. FilenameFilter filter = new FilenameFilter() { public boolean accept(File dir, String name) { return !name.startsWith("."); } }; children = dir.list(filter); // The list of files can also be retrieved as File objects File[] files = dir.listFiles(); // This filter only returns directories FileFilter fileFilter = new FileFilter() { public boolean accept(File file) { return file.isDirectory(); } }; files = dir.listFiles(fileFilter); 15. Create ZIP and JAR files
import java.util.zip.*; import java.io.*; public class ZipIt { public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException { if (args.length < 2) { System.err.println("usage: java ZipIt Zip.zip file1 file2 file3"); System.exit(-1); } File zipFile = new File(args[0]); if (zipFile.exists()) { System.err.println("Zip file already exists, please try Another"); System.exit(-2); } FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(zipFile); ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos); int bytesRead; byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]; CRC32 crc = new CRC32(); for (int i=1, n=args.length; i < n; i++) { String name = args[i]; File file = new File(name); if (!file.exists()) { System.err.println("Skipping: " + name); continue; } BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream( new FileInputStream(file)); crc.reset(); while ((bytesRead = bis.read(buffer)) != -1) { crc.update(buffer, 0, bytesRead); } bis.close(); // Reset to beginning of input stream bis = new BufferedInputStream( new FileInputStream(file)); ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(name); entry.setMethod(ZipEntry.STORED); entry.setCompressedSize(file.length()); entry.setSize(file.length()); entry.setCrc(crc.getValue()); zos.putNextEntry(entry); while ((bytesRead = bis.read(buffer)) != -1) { zos.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead); } bis.close(); } zos.close(); } }16.
