How to make simple dicitonary J2ME
- by batosai_fk
Hi, I am beginner in JavaME. I'd like to make simple dicitionary. The source data is placed on "data.txt" file in "res" directory. The structure is like this:
#apple=kind of fruit;
#spinach=kind of vegetable;
The flow is so simple. User enters word that he want to search in a text field, e.g "apple", system take the user input, read the "data.txt", search the matched word in it, take corresponding word, and display it to another textfield/textbox.
I've managed to read whole "data.txt" using this code..
private String readDataText() {
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("data.txt");
try {
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
int chr, i=0;
while ((chr = is.read()) != -1)
sb.append((char) chr);
return sb.toString();
}
catch (Exception e) {
}
return null;
}
but I still dont know how to split it, find the matched word with the user input and take corresponding word. Hope somebody willing to share his/her knowledge to help me..
