I have some Java code I would like to share. I have an example app via Android Studio so that one can see the graphics. How best to share it? The APK? A tar.gz of my project folder? Or zip (Linux based zip app)?
I plan on a tar.gz or zip of the set of classes; but not sure about how
best to share the Android Studio project.

I think I have the answer to my own question: under File I see (for the first time) "Export to zip file". I tested that and it seems to be the ticket. So... sorry I bothered folks and unless you have a better answer... consider this question closed.

You are creating local variables in one method, and then trying to access them from other methods. You need to understand the scope rules, i.e whether variables are local or not. So txtNumOne and txtNumTwo should be class level variables. Alternatively they could be passed as parameters to the showAnswer method.
You have a potential mistake in the following code:
String strAnswer;
void showAnswer(int dPlaces){
Double numAnswer;
String strAnswer;
numAnswer = (Double.parseDouble(txtNumOne.getText()))* (Double.parseDouble(txtNumTwo.getText()));
strAnswer = String.format("%,." + dPlaces + "f", numAnswer);
lblDPAnswer.setText(strAnswer);
}

Thanks Richard after many hours of head scratching and internet searching I think I have it.
Below is the class level variables and the method showAnswer.
double decNum1, decNum2, decAnswer;
String strAnswer;
void showAnswer(int dPlaces){
Double numAnswer;
numAnswer = decNum1 * decNum2;
strAnswer = String.format("%,." + dPlaces + "f", numAnswer);
}
And below is the 3 radiobuttons and the sum button that call the method when clicked.
rbOneDecimal.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
decNum1 = Double.parseDouble(txtNumOne.getText());
decNum2 = Double.parseDouble(txtNumTwo.getText());
showAnswer(1);
lblDPAnswer.setText(strAnswer);
}
});
rbTwoDecimal.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
decNum1 = Double.parseDouble(txtNumOne.getText());
decNum2 = Double.parseDouble(txtNumTwo.getText());
showAnswer(2);
lblDPAnswer.setText(strAnswer);
}
});
rbThreeDecimal.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
decNum1 = Double.parseDouble(txtNumOne.getText());
decNum2 = Double.parseDouble(txtNumTwo.getText());
showAnswer(3);
lblDPAnswer.setText(strAnswer);
}
});
btnSum.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
decNum1 = Double.parseDouble(txtNumOne.getText());
decNum2 = Double.parseDouble(txtNumTwo.getText());
showAnswer(0);
lblDPAnswer.setText(strAnswer);
}
});
Could it be done a better way? I seem to be repeating these 2 lines.
decNum1 = Double.parseDouble(txtNumOne.getText());
decNum2 = Double.parseDouble(txtNumTwo.getText());

Rather than make these variables at class level, make them parameters to showAnswer (actually calcAnswer would be a better name) method. And the final result shoud be the return value. Something like:
String showAnswer(double decNum1, double decNum2, int dPlaces){
Double numAnswer = decNum1 * decNum2;
String strAnswer = String.format("%,." + dPlaces + "f", numAnswer);
return strAnswer;
}
That keeps everything neatly within the method.
You can reduce all the duplication by using the same handler for all the buttons.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
int numDecimals =
double decNum1 = Double.parseDouble(txtNumOne.getText());
double decNum2 = Double.parseDouble(txtNumTwo.getText());
String strResult = showAnswer(decNum1, decNum2, numDecimals);
lblDPAnswer.setText(strResult);
}
Then add that to each button:
rbOneDecimal.addActionListener(actionPerformed);
rbTwoDecimal.addActionListener(actionPerformed);
You may need to check the syntax requirements for these last two/three items

Thought it wouldn't work as easy as that. 
errors for the actionPerformed method,
Quote: Multiple markers at this line
- void is an invalid type for the variable actionPerformed
- Syntax error on token "(", ; expected
- Syntax error on token ")", ; expected
errors for all the buttons .addActionListener(ActionPerformed);
Quote: ActionPerformed cannot be resolved to a variable

I hesitate to say this yet again, but please go to The Java™ Tutorials[^] and study the language properly. You are not going to learn it piecemeal by posting questions here, as each issue is looked at in isolation. You need to follow a structured learning path to get a full understanding of, not just the language, but its framework support as well.

Thanks for all the help, will go and look at the link that you have given.
Just realised all the examples can be downloaded and run in netbeans or using notepad++ / eclipse.
So not only can you read the tutorials you can run and walk through them.
I think I made the fundamental mistake of looking at various forums and java related sites picking up bits of code from here and there, only half of which I understand.
So I have deleted all links, and will now go and read the tutorials.
See you in about 6months time.

Below is the code for 12 radiobuttons it compiles and runs but when I test out the first 2 buttons nothing happens. I have setActionCommand in the loop for each button so What is it I've not done?
ButtonGroup bgTableButtons = new ButtonGroup();
JRadioButton[] rbTable = new JRadioButton[13];
int y = 20;
for (int i = 1; i < rbTable.length; i++)
{
rbTable[i] = new JRadioButton(Integer.toString(i) + " Times");
rbTable[i].setActionCommand(Integer.toString(i));
rbTable[i].setBounds(320, y, 80, 20);
bgTableButtons.add(rbTable[i]);
panel.add(rbTable[i]);
y = y + 20;
}
if(rbTable[1].isSelected())
{
userText.setText("Button 1");
}
else if(rbTable[2].isSelected())
{
userText.setText("Button 2");
}

Do you have code for that implements the action command?

I have the following imports that's all
What other code do I need? the examles I've looked just show isSelected and that's all.
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
|
|
|

Why are you setting setActionCommand to a number?

Because I tried setting it to the name of the radiobutton but that didn't work either.
rbTable[i].setActionCommand(Integer.toString(i) + " Times");
|
|
|
|
|
Do you know what the command is for?

That is not the way to do it I am afraid. Visual components use event handlers which are signalled when the events (e.g. pushing a button) occurs. So you need to use the Button (Java Platform SE 7 ) addActionListener[^] method so your code gets called at the relevant time.
I would again strongly suggest you go to The Java™ Tutorials[^] and work through them a few times. Trying to learn a language and framework by posting questions here (or any other forum) will take you much longer to get to where you want.

Thanks Richard
I have and do look at the Java Tutorials but don't always find them helpful even though they explain the concepts of components.
I did eventually figure it out, the code is below for anyone else to look through,
ItemListener itemListener = new ItemListener() {
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent itemEvent) {
AbstractButton aButton = (AbstractButton)itemEvent.getSource();
int state = itemEvent.getStateChange();
String name = aButton.getText();
for (int i = 1; i < rbTable.length; i++)
{
if (state == ItemEvent.SELECTED) {
if (name.equals(rbTable[i].getText())) {
userText.setText(rbTable[i].getText());
}
}
}
}
};

What about all the sample code that's included? Seriously, you really should persevere with them. They teach things in a structured order and you get all the basic concepts well established before moving on to the more advanced stuff. I used the published version of these years ago when I first started working in Java, and have gone back and repeated the online versions a number of times.

Hi Richard,
Can't argue and have no wish to, with the points you make about the sample code,
The thing is they are stand alone ie
Here's a method, here's how to call it.
Here' some radio buttons, here's how to find the one selected.
And they work fine the problem is when your project gets more added to it and includes many components and then it's trying to get them to work with each other.
I am going to get 'Java: The Complete Reference, Eleventh Edition' as soon as things get back to normal.
Until then I have to rely on the tutorials and forums to guide me.

Talk about making things complicated!
Here is the final code, no user defined method was needed, I just had to place the results for pressing a button in the 'itemStateChanged method'
ItemListener itemListener = new ItemListener() {
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent itemEvent) {
AbstractButton aButton = (AbstractButton)itemEvent.getSource();
int state = itemEvent.getStateChange();
String name = aButton.getText();
for (int i = 1; i < rbTable.length; i++)
{
if (state == ItemEvent.SELECTED) {
if (name.equals(rbTable[i].getText())) {
displayTable.setText("");
int firstNum, answerNum;
for (firstNum = 1; firstNum <=12; firstNum ++)
{
answerNum = firstNum * i;
displayTable.append(" " + firstNum + " x " + i + " = " + answerNum +"\n");
}
}
}
}
}
};
