Character alignment

To put a string at a certain position, I wrote a simple java method.


Ex: firstSegLength = 20 , a = stringA, b = stringB
      Output =stringA             stringB 


There are 13 space character between stringA and stringB.


public String string_alignment(int SegLength,String a,String b)
  {
String output = null;
int len = a.length();

//Error check
if((SegLength < 1) || (a == null) || (b == null))
return null;
if(a.length() > (len - 1))
{
//should not be happened, case handle
}
int totallen = SegLength + b.length();
int sepLen = SegLength - len;
StringBuilder workstr = new StringBuilder();
//append first string
workstr.append(a);


//create space string
char seprator[] = new char[sepLen];
for(int i = 0;i < sepLen; i++)
{
seprator[i] = ' ';
}
        //append the second string
workstr.append(seprator);
workstr.append(b);
output = workstr.toString(); 
return output;
  }

Use Intent To pick system contact data

Call android to pop out an list for user to pick up a system contact data.
startActivityForResult(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, 
 android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI),user-defined);


System may do the following process.
Button pickButton=(Button)findViewById(R.id.pick_button);
pickButton.setOnclickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
　　public void onClick(View view){
                //Store the URI of the selected item
　　　　Uri data=Uri.parse(“content://horses/”+ selected_id);
　　　　Intent result=new Intent(null,data);
　　　　result.putExtra(IS_INPUT_CORRECT,inputCorrect);
　　　　result.putExtra(SELECTED_PISTOL,selectedPistol);
　　　　setResult(RESULT_OK,result);
　　　　finish();
　　}
});


Return the result to activity
protected void onActivityResult (int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) 
{
              //Abstract data from intent
             Uri uriRet = data.getData()
             boolean inputCorrect=data.getBooleanExtra( IS_INPUT_CORRECT,false);
    String selectedPistol=data.getStringExtra( SELECTED_PISTOL);
}

Get it

If you want it, try hard to get it.
There is no limitation.

Creativity

Creativity seems to be an important thing in this fast changing world.

How to improve my creativity? Well, I do not have a good answer for it.

But I think if one knows lot of things and knowledge, he should be more creative.

It is because that he has lot of based points in his brain and it is easier for him to connect any two points in his brain.  A connection of two or more points may be a creativity.

Creative could also be produced from discontent or inconvenience.

Anyway, creativity is really important.

Suffering

Again,it is suffering.
I know that i am not rich enough. But,i know i am not that bad. I have great potential and possibility. This homeless feeling is so bad. The place which you live is not yours. Just like a leaf moves along with the wind. I don`t know where to rest.

Working Holiday

Here is the table of the related information for working holiday.

I want to live abroad and feel the different culture.  

But there are much things laid on my shoulder.

Divide & Combine File -- SequenceInputStream

java.lang.Object
  java.io.InputStream
      java.io.SequenceInputStream

Example of divide a file:

      filepath: the file to be separated.
      size:the size of each separated file.
      count: the number of separated file.

FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(new File(filepath)); 
BufferedInputStream bufInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(fileInputStream); 
byte[] data = new byte[1]; 
int count = 0;  
//Count the number of separated files.
if(fileInputStream.available() % size == 0) 
      count = fileInputStream.available() / size; 
else 
      count = fileInputStream.available() / size + 1; 
for(int i = 0; i < count; i++) { 
      int num = 0; 
      File file = new File(filepath + "_" + (i + 1));
      BufferedOutputStream bufOutputStream = new BufferedOutputStream( 
                       new FileOutputStream(file)); 
      //Write the read-out data into a separated file
      while(bufInputStream.read(data) != -1) { 
             bufOutputStream.write(data);
             //count the bytes of the separated file.
             num++; 
             if(num == size) { 
                  bufOutputStream.flush(); 
                  bufOutputStream.close(); 
                  break; 
             } 
     } 
 
     if(num < size) { 
            bufOutputStream.flush(); 
            bufOutputStream.close(); 
     } 
} 
Example of combine separated files:
      filename: the path of  the separated files locate   
      number  : the number of the separated files.
List<InputStream> list = new ArrayList<InputStream>();
//collect the separated files
for(int i = 0; i < number; i++) {
       File file = new File(filename + "_" + (i+1));
       list.add(i, new FileInputStream(file));
}
final Iterator<InputStream> iterator = list.iterator();
Enumeration<InputStream> enumation = new Enumeration<InputStream>() {
                public boolean hasMoreElements() {
                    return iterator.hasNext();
                }

                public InputStream nextElement() {
                    return iterator.next();
                }
            };
BufferedInputStream bufInputStream = new BufferedInputStream( 
                    new SequenceInputStream(enumation), 
                    8192); 
BufferedOutputStream bufOutputStream = new BufferedOutputStream( 
                       new FileOutputStream(filename), 8192); 
byte[] data = new byte[1]; 

while(bufInputStream.read(data) != -1) 
        bufOutputStream.write(data); 
bufInputStream.close(); 
bufOutputStream.flush(); 
bufOutputStream.close(); 

Ideas

I have lots of ideas.  But i do not implement them.  I should try to realize them i think.

Paint my love - Michael Learns to Rock

From ICRT, i heard the song "Paint my love" by Michael Learns to Rock today.

Once i heard this song,I knew that it must be Michael Learns to Rock.

Their songs have special feeling for me,such as "That`s why you go away" and "Sleeping Child".

Here is the lyric of "Paint my love".

==============

From my youngest years
till this moment here
I've never seen
such a lovely queen

From the skies above
to the deepest love
I've never felt
crazy like this before

Chorus:
Paint my love
you should paint my love
it's the picture of a thousand sunsets
it's the freedom of a thousand doves
Baby you should paint my love


Been around the world
then I met you girl
It's like comming home
to a place I've known

Chorus:
Paint my love
you should paint my love
it's the picture of a thousand sunsets
it's the freedom of a thousand doves
Baby you should paint my love

Since you came into my life
the days before all fade to black and white
Since you came into my life
Everything has changed

Mood of Love

It has been 2 more months since we separated.  I have changed a lot. 
And the changes are not for you,but for me.  Now, it seems that you 
don`t believe the new me.  Maybe the changes are too fast and large 
for you to believe.  You may need time to see whether the changes is 
real inside me  or just it is temporarily.   Without you, everyday is 
suffering.
