Thread: SMS Textspeak Corrector

Hello SHENGTON,

Welcome to the Java Programming Forums.

I don't have any experience in JavaME but in JaveSE you could use the String replaceAll method for correcting - String (Java Platform SE 6)

Here is an example for you. It's not perfect but you get the idea. Obviousally it needs to be adapted for JavaME.

  public static String[] txtWord = {"txt","spk","lol","np","brb"}; public static String[] realWord = {"text","speak","laugh out loud","no problem","be right back"};   public static void main(String[] args) {   String phrase = "Hello mate. Long time no spk, lol. Thats np, i'll brb!";   for(int a = 0; a < txtWord.length; a++){   if(phrase.contains(txtWord[a])){	phrase = phrase.replaceAll(txtWord[a], realWord[a]); } }   System.out.println(phrase); }

Input:

Hello mate. Long time no spk, lol. Thats np, i'll brb!

Output:

Hello mate. Long time no speak, laugh out loud. Thats no problem, i'll be right back!

Hello JavaPF, good evening.

Please take a look my code. I having a problem in replacing the text inside the TextBox.

Here's the code:

import javax.microedition.midlet.*; import javax.microedition.lcdui.*; import javax.microedition.lcdui.TextBox; import javax.microedition.lcdui.CommandListener; import javax.microedition.lcdui.Command;   public class TextBoxMIDlet extends MIDlet implements CommandListener { private Display display; private static String[] txtWord = {"txt","spk","lol","np","brb"}; private static String[] realWord = {"text","speak","laugh out loud","no problem","be right back"}; private Command txtspk = new Command("Correct Textspeak", Command.ITEM, 0); private Command exit = new Command("Exit", Command.EXIT, 0); private TextBox t;   public TextBoxMIDlet() { display = Display.getDisplay(this); }   public void startApp() { t = new TextBox ("TextBox Example", null, 256, TextField.ANY); t.addCommand(txtspk); t.addCommand(exit); t.setCommandListener(this); display.setCurrent(t); }   public void pauseApp() {}   public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional){}   public void commandAction(Command command, Displayable displayable) { if (command == exit) { destroyApp(true); notifyDestroyed(); } if (command == txtspk) { for(int a = 0; a < txtWord.length; a++) { if(t.equals(txtWord[a])) { t = t.replaceAll(txtWord[a], realWord[a]); } } System.out.println(t); } } }

I'm having a problem with this this part:

 if (command == txtspk) { for(int a = 0; a < txtWord.length; a++) { if(t.equals(txtWord[a])) { t = t.replaceAll(txtWord[a], realWord[a]); } } System.out.println(t); }

I don't know how to figure it out. What's wrong with my code?
