I have never had to build an array in android like the following, and I think there are errors in my syntax.
I am trying to accomplish somethign like:
String RoomName[] = {"145"="PentHouse","125"="BoardRoom","45"="ShopRoom","8"="MainOffice"};
so If I reference something like:
String CurrentRoom = RoomName["8"];
I want CurrentRoom to be equal to MainOffice.
I know I am missing something obvious.
You don't want an array, you want a map:
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put("145", "PentHouse");
map.put("125", "BoardRoom");
map.put("145", "PentHouse");
// etc
String room = map.get("8");
// room will be null if "8" isn't a key in the map.
Java don't have associative arays, use HashMap instead
http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/HashMap.html
HashMap<String, String> HM = new HashMap<String, String>();
HM.put("key1","value1");
HM.put("key2","value2");
Java doesn't store arrays like that, what you're looking for is a Map<String, String> to hold key/value pairs.
For instance:
Map<String, String> myMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
myMap.put("145", "Penthouse");
...
String penthouse = myMap.get("145"); // will return "Penthouse"
