Iterating over a collection is a task that most developers are required to perform during their development task and most of us keep on using the same way which we have used earlier though there are many ways to do this. In this post I am going to list down all those ways. We all might be familiar with these ways. Still, keep on reading to refresh!!! First let’s initialize a list List list = Arrays.asList(new String[]{ “first”,”second”,”third”,”fourth”, “fifth” }); Now let’s begin iteration: Method 1: Using for loop for (int count = 0; count < list.size(); count++) { System.out.println("Item:: " + list.get(count)); } DetailRead More →

Off course, we would not like to show an exception trace to the user instead of the result. Better we check the input for its validity before processing. Below are various ways using which we may check that an input String is completely aRead More →

Suppose we want to do a task after fixed time interval such as creating a beep sound after 5 seconds or checking the connection status after every 5 seconds. This may be easily accomplished using Executor framework in java. There is a class called ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor which has the methods to perform such kind of scheduling. Let’s get down to code right away:Read More →

If it is, it simply does nothing and returns. Hence to reload a class, you have to use your custom ClassLoader. Code to reload a class using custom ClassLoader is as follows:Read More →
