J2ME: Read an Image from the Device Filesystem

Posted by & filed under , .

As you’ve seen with previous posts, I’m trying to make sure that all the stuff that used to be on my old website and people are still looking for is being brought back to light; and one of the search terms that I see redirecting people to my website is “j2me read file” — for […]

J2ME StopWatch Application

Posted by & filed under , .

This is another resurrect from my old website — again, it seems people are visiting my site looking for this (old) J2ME application. Please be aware that I haven’t updated this application in ages — it was known to run last time I checked, but that was a while back. I suspect as such it’s […]

Checking the Memory Quota

Posted by & filed under , .

This is somehow similar to the one above, except that this time an attacker can exploit the memory quota. This quota defines how much memory a user process can allocate at a time. If there is no capping on this value, a user process can try to allocate all the memory available in the system […]

StringBuilder — Memory Consumption

Posted by & filed under , .

You have seen probably my initial post about creating StringBuilder’s in Java — and the continuation of it which looked at timings involved. As I promised, I have finally had some time to look at the memory consumption involved in using the 2 ways of creating a StringBuilder in Java. I have used a code […]

Creating StringBuilder in Java

Posted by & filed under , , .

I wrote in my previous post about StringBuilder’s in Java, and I felt I should provide some measurements around the whole discussion. So I put together some quick and dirty code which is good enough for a comparison of the 2 ways of creating a StringBuilder — bear in mind I said “comparison”, as such […]

About Data Comparison in Java

Posted by & filed under , , .

If you have been involved in some coding (Java or otherwise) more than likely at some point you had to deal with the situation where you have to compare some data — for the purpose of sorting items in a list, of validating input, or many of the many other situations that require it. And […]

Data Validation inside a List

Posted by & filed under , , .

Felt like sharing this, since there might be some other “dinosaurs” like myself (i.e. slow in their using the Apache Commons Collections) — and those guys might find this useful 🙂 Occasionally you find yourself providing components that will be used by various modules in a project, and as such you have to employ strict […]

Neat Trick for Returning an Empty List in Java

Posted by & filed under , , , .

I’ve found this post actually burried in my “Drafts” — it’s been there for sometime it seems. I recall writing about it on my mobile WordPress application, so I’m guessing I’ve saved it as draft on the blog with the view to apply the code pretty-printing and forgot about it quite likely 🙂 So I […]

Arrays in Java

Posted by & filed under , , , .

I seem to be on a roll today so I thought I’d mention this little tip that I have come across in the past when using arrays — more specifically bi-dimensional arrays. We think of such arrays (in Java and other languages as well!) quite often as a bit of a Scrabble board where we […]
