if & else statements



I'm looking for some help with a little problem I'm having. Basically i have a "if & else" statement in my app but I want to add another "if" statement that checks for a file then for certain line of text in that file. But I am unsure of how to do this.





  • on "if" check if file exists



  • on "if" check if file exists but DOES NOT contain a certain line of text



  • on "else" do something







here is what i i have







if(file.exists()) {

do this

} else {

do this

}

  1. It sounds like you either need:

    if (file.exists() && readFileAndCheckForWhatever(file)) {
    // File exists and contains the relevant word
    } else {
    // File doesn't exist, or doesn't contain the relevant word
    }


    or

    if (file.exists()) {
    // Code elided: read the file...
    if (contents.contains(...)) {
    // File exists and contains the relevant word
    } else {
    // File exists but doesn't contain the relevant word
    }
    } else {
    // File doesn't exist
    }


    or reversing the logic of the previous one to flatten it

    if (!file.exists()) {
    // File doesn't exist
    } else if (readFileAndCheckForWhatever(file)) {
    // File exists and contains the relevant word
    } else {
    // File exists but doesn't contain the relevant word
    }

  2. Unless I am missing something, couldn't you just be using else if?

    else if((file.exists())&&(!file.contains(Whatever))) { ... }

    File.contains would need to be exchanged for a function that actually checks the file, but you get the idea.

  3. Maybe you mean something like:

    if(file.exists() && containsLine(file))
    {
    // do something
    }
    else
    {
    // do something else
    }

    public boolean containsLine(File f)
    {
    // do the checking here
    }

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
