I am not sure if I should use two dimensional array or something different. I have a word, for example apple , and I have two definitions for this word - ex. I like eating the apple and An apple is red.
And I want to display this word either with first sentence or second sentence.
Simply, I want to link this word with two definitions and display it easily. How can I do that?
In xml:
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Get Sentence" />
In JAVA:
private View view;
private HashMap<String, ArrayList<String>> words;
private Boolean isClicked = false;
@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_layout, container, false);
initView();
return view;
}
private void initView() {
final Button button1 = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.button1);
button1.setOnClickListener(this);
words = new HashMap<>();
final ArrayList<String> appleDefs = new ArrayList<>();
appleDefs.add("def one");
appleDefs.add("def two");
words.put("Apple", appleDefs);
}
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
switch (view.getId()) {
case R.id.button1:
clickCheck();
break;
}
}
private void clickCheck() {
if (isClicked) {
if (words.get("Apple").size() > 0) {
Log.d(TAG, words.get("Apple").get(1));
}
isClicked = false;
} else {
if (words.get("Apple").size() > 0) {
Log.d(TAG, words.get("Apple").get(0));
}
isClicked = true;
}
}
Use a Map of Lists, its easier to navigate, e.g. Map<String, List<String>> words = new HashMap<>();
Usage:
List<String> appleDefs = new ArrayList<>();
appleDefs.add("def one");
appleDefs.add("def two");
words.put("Apple", appleDefs);
remove(index)the displayed definition from the List instead of simply get(index)-ing it. Or add the displayed definitions to another arbitrary list and before displaying, make sure the current one to be displayed is not in the displayed collection. There are infinite ways to go about that, just pick one and runIf you're only ever going to have 2 sentences you could create a class to store the info e.g
public class WordObj {
private String word;
private String sentence1, sentence2;
public WordObj(String word, String definition1, String definition2) {
this.word = word;
this.sentence1 = definition1;
this.sentence2 = definition2;
}
public String getWord() {
return word;
}
public String getSentence1() {
return sentence1;
}
public String getSentence2() {
return sentence2;
}
}
Then use it like:
ArrayList<WordObj> words = new ArrayList<>();
words.add(new WordObj("Apple", "I like eating the apple", "An apple is red"));
EDIT: For a variable amount of sentences:
public class WordObj {
private String word;
private ArrayList<String> sentences;
public WordObj(String word, ArrayList<String> sentences) {
this.word = word;
this.sentences = sentences;
}
public String getWord() {
return word;
}
public ArrayList<String> getSentences() {
return sentences;
}
public String getSentence(int position) {
return sentences.get(position);
}
}
Usage:
ArrayList<WordObj> words = new ArrayList<>();
ArrayList<String> appleSentences = new ArrayList<>();
appleSentences.add("I like eating the apple");
appleSentences.add("An apple is red");
words.add(new WordObj("Apple", appleSentences));
Map<String, List<String>>).
