Java : Generate JTree from XML dynamically - code example

In this post, i am going to describe how to generate JTree in swing according to an XML document dynamically.


Used XML File : catalog.xml

Java : Html form parser return map of (name,value) pair of input attribute

Simple HTML Form Parser which parses the given string of HTML and returns Map of  (name,value) pair of form's input attribute.


CODE : MyHtmlFormParser class

Java : Counting frequency of word in a string using Map

Use a Map to map Map<String,Integer> the words with frequency.

String SPACE =" ";
String [] words = input.split(SPACE);
Map<String,Integer> frequency = new HashMap<String,Integer>();
for (String word:words){
    Integer f = frequency.get(word);
    frequency.put(word,f+1);
}

Then you can find out for a particular word with:

frequency.get(word);

Java: ping an URL from java application - code example

The code to ping a URL from java application is as follows :

public static void pingUrl(final String address) {
try {
final URL url = new URL("http://" + address);
final HttpURLConnection urlConn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
urlConn.setConnectTimeout(1000 * 10); // mTimeout is in seconds
urlConn.connect();
if (urlConn.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
System.out.println("Ping to "+address +" was success");
}
} catch (final IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

 

With response time:

public static void pingUrlWithResponseTime(final String address) {
try {
final URL url = new URL("http://" + address);
final HttpURLConnection urlConn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
urlConn.setConnectTimeout(1000 * 10); // mTimeout is in seconds
final long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
urlConn.connect();
final long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
if (urlConn.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
System.out.println("Time (ms) : " + (endTime - startTime));
System.out.println("Ping to "+address +" was success");
}
} catch (final IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Android: Killing a running process with processid(pid) and package name

 final List<RunningAppProcessInfo> runningAppProcesses = manager.getRunningAppProcesses();
 for (final RunningAppProcessInfo app : runningAppProcesses) {
  if (appPackage.equals(app.processName)) {
   return true;
  }
 }
 return false;
}

For checking a service is running or not :

public static boolean isThisServiceRunning( final Context context, final String servicePackageName) {
 final ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
 for (final RunningServiceInfo service : manager.getRunningServices(Integer.MAX_VALUE)) {
  if (servicePackageName.equals(service.service.getClassName())) {
   return true;
  }
