20 very useful Java code snippets for Java Developers

java-duke-teachingFollowing are few very useful Java code snippets for Java developers. Few of them are written by me and few are taken from other code reference. Feel free to comment about the code and also add your code snippet. [ad#singleblogtop-linkad]

1. Converting Strings to int and int to String

String a = String.valueOf(2); //integer to numeric string int i = Integer.parseInt(a); //numeric string to an int
Code language: Java (java)

2. Append text to file in Java

Updated: Thanks Simone for pointing to exception. I have changed the code.
BufferedWriter out = null; try { out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(”filename”, true)); out.write(”aString”); } catch (IOException e) { // error processing code } finally { if (out != null) { out.close(); } }

    The singleton example is bad!

    As written, it won’t even compile, since singleInstance isn’t static.

    Secondly, unless you absolutely need lazy allocation and you can live with the singleton not being thread safe, you should change it to the much simpler and more robust:

    public class SimpleSingleton {  
        private static SimpleSingleton singleInstance = 
                                        new SimpleSingleton();  
      
        private SimpleSingleton() {  
        }  
      
        public static SimpleSingleton getInstance() {  
            return singleInstance;  
        }  
    }

    I had to appreciate.. Quick and very picky compilations of basic snippets, which probably you search around when you need it. But this comes handy, when you need it… thanks

  3. @markus: thanks for identifying the error. I have updated the code.

    @dharmesh: thanks for the comment. Feel free to bookmark the link and add it to any of your social site.

  4. Ralph says:

    According to the book Effective Java (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/effective/) from Joshua Bloch this is the best way to implement a singleton in Java 1.5 (or higher)

    public enum SimpleSingleton {
      INSTANCE;
      public void doSomething() {  ....  }
    }
    

    call the method from the singleton:

    SimpleSingleton.INSTANCE.doSomething();

  5. Lukasz Zielinski says:

    You can have even nicer singleton using enum:

    public enum SimpleSingleton {  
         INSTANCE;  
         private SimpleSingleton() {  
         } 
    }
    

  6. @ralph, @lukasz: Thanks for the better implementation of Singleton. Probably both of you have pointed to same implementation. I will add this to above post.

  7. Nice list of snippets. Very handy!

  8. Kenneth says:

    Thanks for those handy code snippet. Very useful for my daily work !

  9. Matt says:

    You can also do lazy singletons like this, I believe it is thread safe and backwards compatible before java 5:

    public SimpleSingleton {
      public static final SimpleSingleton INSTANCE = Inner.INSTANCE;
      private static class Inner {
        private static final SimpleSingleton INSTANCE = new SimpleSingleton();
      }
    }
    

  10. Matt says:

    *missed ‘class’ from the SimpleSingleton class above :/

    8. Create Thumbnail of an image in Java — this is ancient code.

    1. Use package javax.imageio to read and write images, not Toolkit, MediaTracker and JPEGCodec — I don’t think that was ever part of the official API, even!

    2. Your code with create a poor quality thumbnail. See Chris Campbell’s article for a better solution:

    http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2007/04/03/perils-of-image-getscaledinstance.html

  12. I have an additional tip for ImageIO work. If you are reading lots of images for temporary use, be certain to disable ImageIO disk caching. I’ve published information about this technique here:

    http://frequal.com/java/PreventUnexpectedImageIODiskWrites.html

  13. Simon says:

    Please, correct me, if I’m wrong.
    I would change the second snippet:

    BufferedWriter out = null;
     try {  
         out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("filename", true));  
         out.write("aString");  
     } catch (IOException e) {
         // error processing code
     } finally {
        if (out != null) {
            out.close();
        }
     }

  17. Is there any other way to convert array to Map without importing third party jar?

    Array to Set

    import java.util.*;
    public class ArrayToSet{
    public static void main(String arg[]){
    String elements[]={"array","to","set"};
    Set set=new HashSet(Arrays.asList(elements));
    
    	for (Iterator iterator = set.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
                Object o = iterator.next();
                System.out.println(o );
            }
    
    }
    }

  22. Trollhorn says:

    There is an even better solution for resizing an array:

    int[] a = new int[10];
    
    // roughly doubling the array size
    a = java.util.Arrays.copyOf(a, a.size * 2 + 1);
    

  23. Trollhorn says:

    Of course it should be a.length, sorry me :-)

    a = java.util.Arrays.copyOf(a, a.length * 2 + 1);
    

    A complete method would look similar to this:

    private static  void resizeArray(T[] a, int size) {
        if (size &lt; 0) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException();
        }
    
        return java.util.Arrays.copyOf(a, size);
    }

    Thanks viral , it will helps a lot , hoping for more to come.

    Tip 5, line # test.init(); —> will give a compile error. You need to pass the filestream to the init() function. Otherwise its a good example.

    8. Create Thumbnail of an image in Java

    I got below error:but later i found the solution for that error that i mention below
    :Access restriction: The type JPEGImageEncoder is not accessible due to restriction on required library C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\rt.jar

    so below is solution for that error:
    Go to the Build Path settings in the project properties.
    Remove the JRE System Library
    Add it back; Select “Add Library” and select the JRE System Library.
    That is perfect match

    Thats All and Enjoy the Code.

    I have gone through a blog according to which you have following options –

    For simple RGB files use ImageScalr . ImageIO class is used for reading files and ImageScalr to create thumbnails
    For supporting RGB + CYMK, use ImageIO and JAI (Java Advanced Imaging) API for reading files and ImageScalr to create thumbnail.
    In case you don’t know what file formats, color mode you are going to deal with, safest option is to use ImageMagick.
    Here is link http://paxcel.net/blog/java-thumbnail-generator-imagescalar-vs-imagemagic/

    Hey,
    for singleton it is a best practice to store his instance in a holder, this make the singelton thread safe without the ugly need to use the ‘synchronized’ key word.
    I.e:
    public class Singleton {
    private static class SingletonHolder {
    private final static Singleton instance = new Singleton ();
    }

    public static Singleton getInstance() {
    return SingletonHolder .instance;
    }
    }

    java.util.Arrays.copyOf() resizes arrays, and it’s overloaded to work with primitives.

    From the javadoc:

    static T[] copyOf(T[] original, int newLength)
    Copies the specified array, truncating or padding with nulls (if necessary) so the copy has the specified length.
