Java is the standard way of writing Android apps, but it's not strictly necessary. For example, there's also Xamarin.Android which lets you write Android apps in C# - although it will still fire up a Dalvik VM behind the scenes, as the... more 1/3/2014 8:20:40 AM

This is what's tripping you up: xmlns="http://fantasysports.yahooapis.com/fantasy/v2/base.rng" You're asking for elements in the unnamed namespace - but the elements default to the namespace shown above. It's easy to fix that in LINQ... more 1/2/2014 4:13:36 PM

You can't, basically. The IL generated for these calls is exactly the same: ExampleMethod(10); ExampleMethod(10, "default string"); ExampleMethod(10, "default string", 10); The defaulting is performed at the call site, by the... more 1/2/2014 4:07:23 PM

I suspect the problem is that you're not reading to the end of the containing element - I suspect you want: public void ReadXml(XmlReader reader) { Name = reader.ReadElementContentAsString(); } The documentation for ReadXml states: ... more 1/2/2014 3:28:05 PM

Well you're not actually executing the prepared statement... you're just preparing it. You should call PreparedStatement.executeQuery and use the ResultSet it returns: // ...code as before... try (ResultSet results = ps.executeQuery()) { ... more 1/2/2014 2:30:09 PM

You're using b in the constructor of Otherclass - which will be executed before the Applet launcher gets to execute init. If you put this statement: b[0] = 4; into the constructor of Main, it will be executed before the constructor... more 1/2/2014 1:42:07 PM

The simplest approach is: public string GetLetter(int value) { char letter = (char) ('A' - 1 + value); return letter.ToString(); } I'd personally change the return type to char though: public char GetLetter(int value) { ... more 1/2/2014 12:11:06 PM

You're using mm, which is minutes, not months. You want yyyy-MM-dd as your format string. It's not clear why you're not returning a Calendar directly from your method, mind you: private static final TimeZone UTC =... more 1/2/2014 11:34:28 AM

Yes, .NET doesn't support this as far as I'm aware. My Noda Time project does, but only partially: it can parse the value, but the value is just parsed to midnight at the start of the next day, and is never formatted as 24:00. There's... more 1/2/2014 9:37:11 AM

Assuming the image data is already in the format you want, you don't need image ImageIO at all - you just need to write the data to the file: // Note preferred way of declaring an array variable byte[] data =... more 1/2/2014 9:18:07 AM
