How to check if a value is a double value in Android (Java)

August 4, 2016

To check if a value is a double value in Android you can use the snippet below.

Samples

Java (Android) Sample

public static boolean IsDoubleValue(String input) {
	if(!TextUtils.isEmpty(input.trim())) { //use <em>if(!input.trim().toString().equals("")) {</em> if you are not on the Android platform
		String regExp = "[\\x00-\\x20]*[+-]?(((((\\p{Digit}+)(\\.)?((\\p{Digit}+)?)([eE][+-]?(\\p{Digit}+))?)|(\\.((\\p{Digit}+))([eE][+-]?(\\p{Digit}+))?)|(((0[xX](\\p{XDigit}+)(\\.)?)|(0[xX](\\p{XDigit}+)?(\\.)(\\p{XDigit}+)))[pP][+-]?(\\p{Digit}+)))[fFdD]?))[\\x00-\\x20]*";
		return input.matches(regExp);
	}else{
		return false;
	}
}

public static boolean IsDoubleValue(String input) {

if(!TextUtils.isEmpty(input.trim())) { //use <em>if(!input.trim().toString().equals("")) {</em> if you are not on the Android platform

String regExp = "[\\x00-\\x20]*[+-]?(((((\\p{Digit}+)(\\.)?((\\p{Digit}+)?)([eE][+-]?(\\p{Digit}+))?)|(\\.((\\p{Digit}+))([eE][+-]?(\\p{Digit}+))?)|(((0[xX](\\p{XDigit}+)(\\.)?)|(0[xX](\\p{XDigit}+)?(\\.)(\\p{XDigit}+)))[pP][+-]?(\\p{Digit}+)))[fFdD]?))[\\x00-\\x20]*";

return input.matches(regExp);

}else{

return false;

Here is an example on how to remove specific (unicode) characters in a String using C# and VB.NET

Samples

C# Sample

static void Main(string[] args)
        {

How to change the encoding of a String using C# and VB.NET

Administrator

June 29, 2015

0 Comments

To change the encoding of a String using .NET you can use this Extension Method which is part of the Fesslersoft.Extensions. This method needs a source and a target encoding. Some people might find the source encoding parameter needless, but as Joel stated in his excellent blogpost

“It does not make sense to have a string without knowing what encoding it uses” (Joel Spolsky)

Samples

Sample C#

public static string ChangeEncoding(this string input, Encoding sourceEncoding, Encoding targetEncoding)
{
	byte[] utfBytes = sourceEncoding.GetBytes(input);
	byte[] isoBytes = Encoding.Convert(sourceEncoding, targetEncoding, utfBytes);
	return targetEncoding.GetString(isoBytes);
}

public static string ChangeEncoding(this string input, Encoding sourceEncoding, Encoding targetEncoding)

{

byte[] utfBytes = sourceEncoding.GetBytes(input);

byte[] isoBytes = Encoding.Convert(sourceEncoding, targetEncoding, utfBytes);

return targetEncoding.GetString(isoBytes);

}

VB.NET Sample

<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension> _
Public Shared Function ChangeEncoding(input As String, sourceEncoding As Encoding, targetEncoding As Encoding) As String
	Dim utfBytes As Byte() = sourceEncoding.GetBytes(input)
	Dim isoBytes As Byte() = Encoding.Convert(sourceEncoding, targetEncoding, utfBytes)
	Return targetEncoding.GetString(isoBytes)
End Function

<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension> _

Public Shared Function ChangeEncoding(input As String, sourceEncoding As Encoding, targetEncoding As Encoding) As String

Dim utfBytes As Byte() = sourceEncoding.GetBytes(input)

Dim isoBytes As Byte() = Encoding.Convert(sourceEncoding, targetEncoding, utfBytes)

Return targetEncoding.GetString(isoBytes)

End Function

How to convert a Securestring to String using C# and VB.NET

Here is an example on how to convert a Securestring to String using C# and VB.NET.
Please remember that storing the data in a plain string will be beat the whole point of using SecureString. This method should only be used for testing purposes.
This Extension Method is now part of the Fesslersoft.Extensions.

Samples

C# Sample

public static string ToUnsecureString(this SecureString source)
{
	var returnValue = IntPtr.Zero;
	try
	{
		returnValue = Marshal.SecureStringToGlobalAllocUnicode(source);
		return Marshal.PtrToStringUni(returnValue);
	}
	finally
	{
		Marshal.ZeroFreeGlobalAllocUnicode(returnValue);
	}
}

public static string ToUnsecureString(this SecureString source)

{

var returnValue = IntPtr.Zero;

try

{

returnValue = Marshal.SecureStringToGlobalAllocUnicode(source);

return Marshal.PtrToStringUni(returnValue);

}

finally

{

Marshal.ZeroFreeGlobalAllocUnicode(returnValue);

}

VB.NET Sample

<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension> _
Public Shared Function ToUnsecureString(source As SecureString) As String
	Dim returnValue = IntPtr.Zero
	Try
		returnValue = Marshal.SecureStringToGlobalAllocUnicode(source)
		Return Marshal.PtrToStringUni(returnValue)
	Finally
		Marshal.ZeroFreeGlobalAllocUnicode(returnValue)
	End Try
End Function

<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension> _

Public Shared Function ToUnsecureString(source As SecureString) As String

Dim returnValue = IntPtr.Zero

Try

returnValue = Marshal.SecureStringToGlobalAllocUnicode(source)

Return Marshal.PtrToStringUni(returnValue)

Finally

Marshal.ZeroFreeGlobalAllocUnicode(returnValue)

End Try

End Function

To read a embedded resource to String in C# and VB.NET you can use the snippet below.
Keep in mind that this snippet is using Encoding.Default which might not always work in all situations correctly.

Sample C#

public string ReadEmbeddedRessourceToString(Assembly assembly, string searchPattern)
{
	var resourceName = assembly.GetManifestResourceNames().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Contains(searchPattern));
	using (var stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName))
	{
		if (stream != null)
		{
			using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream,Encoding.Default))
			{
				return reader.ReadToEnd();
			}
		}
	}
	return string.Empty;
}

public string ReadEmbeddedRessourceToString(Assembly assembly, string searchPattern)

{

var resourceName = assembly.GetManifestResourceNames().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Contains(searchPattern));

using (var stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName))

{

if (stream != null)

{

using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream,Encoding.Default))

{

return reader.ReadToEnd();

}

return string.Empty;

}

Sample VB.NET (autogenerated)

Public Function ReadEmbeddedRessourceToString(assembly As Assembly, searchPattern As String) As String
	Dim resourceName = assembly.GetManifestResourceNames().FirstOrDefault(Function(x) x.Contains(searchPattern))
	Using stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName)
		If stream IsNot Nothing Then
			Using reader = New StreamReader(stream,Encoding.Default)
				Return reader.ReadToEnd()
			End Using
		End If
	End Using
	Return String.Empty
End Function

Public Function ReadEmbeddedRessourceToString(assembly As Assembly, searchPattern As String) As String

Dim resourceName = assembly.GetManifestResourceNames().FirstOrDefault(Function(x) x.Contains(searchPattern))

Using stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName)

If stream IsNot Nothing Then

Using reader = New StreamReader(stream,Encoding.Default)

Return reader.ReadToEnd()

End Using

End If

End Using

Return String.Empty

End Function

To match strings using wildcards in C# and VB.NET you can use the following snippet.
It will internally convert the wildcard string to a Regex.

The Console-Output of this sample will be:

C:\Test\myFile01.xml
C:\Test\myFile02.xml

Sample C#

#region

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

    internal class Program

            var fileList = new List<String>();
            fileList.Add(@"C:\Test\myFile01.xml");
            fileList.Add(@"C:\Test\myFile02.xml");
            fileList.Add(@"C:\Test\myFolder01.xml");
            fileList.Add(@"C:\Test\myFolder02.xml");

            var wildCard = new Wildcard("*File*.xml", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
            foreach (var file in fileList.Where(file => wildCard.IsMatch(file)))
            {
                Console.WriteLine(file);
            }
            Console.Read();
        }
    }


    public class Wildcard : Regex
    {
        public Wildcard(string pattern) : base(ToRegex(pattern))
        {
