Help with Company/Client organization program!

Hey guys. I've been working on this project for a while, but since my java skills are not so great, i've been having some difficulty. I was hoping someone could look at the code I had and give me some advice, help and directions.
In the program, the user should be able to create Companies and Clients, as well as their attributes, and save them to two separate Random Access Files ("companies.dat" and "contacts.dat"). The user should then also be able to read back, edit and delete a company or client if they so wish. Each company or client is assigned a Level Of Interest, which I want to take and put into an array, which can later be sorted and viewed in order of increasing interest. I'm not entirely sure of how to go about achieving this, however.
NOTE: The IBIO class was put together by one of my professors to help make i/o easier.
I am also unsure of how to go about deleting, searching and editing the data that is written to the RAF. I hope someone can give me some pointers here. I'll post my code, take a look.

    I have a "Contact" organization issue I need help with.  I organize multiple customers under their account affiliation. I place the people with their contact info under each account name by their dept/role in the notes section of their account. I am looking to be able to directly dial / email from this info in yet notes section located within a contact. On Blackberry, the notes area entered in a contact can connect directly but on the iPhone those numbers/emails are inactive. I am trying to avoid having to create each of these individuals as a separate contact and keep them under their account affiliation. It is easier to find them.  This does not seem like that complicated of a request and hoping someone can tell me how or share an app that will enable the "notes" within a contact be "active". Hope this makes sense.

    I seem to recall that this question has been asked before and I'm pretty sure that the answer is that you can't do what you want to do with the native contact app. However, there are lots of contact apps out there that pull from the built app's data but have other features. Perhaps one of them would meet your needs.

  • Help With Elements 12 Organizer

    I just downloaded Elements 12 and was downloading files to the organizer.  The last file I downloaded is full of duplicates of some of the files I down loaded and dups of many of the files i have yet to download.  I tried to put the folder back but it took all of my single downloaded folders also.  Is there a way to put those pictures back without messing up everything I already did?

    Hi,
    The two applications (organizer & editor) can work independently and only talk to each other when they need to.
    Are you updating from a previous version or is this the first?
    There are (at least) three ways of starting the organizer:-
    1) from the Welcome screen
    2) from the editor - see button at the bottom of the editor window
    3) directly using windows explorer to locate and double click on the following
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    [ignore the (x86) part if on 32bit system]
    Can you get any of those ways to work? Do you get any error message or does nothing happen?
    You could try creating a new catalog to see if that helps.
    Start the organizer (in any of the ways) with the Shift key held down while it loads (if it does). That should bring up the catalog manager
    Click on the New button (top right)
    Give it a name like Dummy or Test and click on OK - that should create & open a blank catalog

  • Please help with structure of my program

    I am hoping someone can help me with a motor control program that I am
    writing.  The program is too large to post here, but I attached a
    rough outline of the program.  I think the problem is with the
    higher level logic, so hopefully that will provide the necessary
    information. 
    I have a front panel with lots of buttons to control the motors (eg:
    power, stop, start).  There is an event structure that contains
    most of those buttons (power, start, etc), but if that structure is
    exectuting, the other buttons won't work.  I need to be able to
    stop the motors and exit at any time (for safety), so I made another
    event structure that contains the stop and exit buttons.  Is this
    the right way to do this?
    Also, I want all the loops in the program to run continually until the
    exit button is pressed.  Since the exit button actually calls
    exit.vi and closes the whole program, I just wired a F constant to the
    stop on the while loops so they never stop.  Could this be causing
    my problems? 
    Hopefully I provided enough information here, but if not, please write back and let me know.
    Thanks,
    Kasey
    PS. In case anyone wonders why the whole thing is in a sequence, I need
    it for other aspects of the program (safety lights, etc...).  I
    doubt it makes a difference, but I wanted to include it.

    This is the first time I have seen a case where it is useful to have two or more event structures in one program.  Since they are in separate parallel loops, I would think there would not be a problem.  I like the idea that the program can be stopped in the middle of an event, for safety reasons.  Great structure, Kasey.  The only thing I would add is to make sure that your exit vi gracefully shuts down the program.  Like if files or references are open, they get closed before terminating the vi.  Just be on the look out for race conditions since you have 3 events that can happen at one time.  One event might affect some indicator that is being handled by another event.  Also, instead of wiring a false to the other loops, maybe you could use local variables of one general stop boolean.  Since your exit vi stops all execution, it may not make much of a difference.

  • Help with a Word Counting Program..

    I need some help with a program I am trying to write
    The program is being written in BlueJ.
    Im just starting the program and am completely confused on how I should write this...
    But here is what I have to do..
    I have to use a scanner to scan a Text file and count the # of Words the number of Vowels (including Y when it is) and the # of Palindromes (Word spelled same forward and Back) as well as which Palindromes are being used.
    It would be good to have a class to clean the text and a seperate class for the tasks...
    I do not want to use anything other than "If" statements and while loops (no "for" loops) and only use Printwriter as the output file writer.
    Thnx to anyone in advance

    I have a basic Vowel coding that doeswnt work...
    public class vowel{
    String word = "heyyou";
    String vowels = "aeiouy";
    int[] countv = new int[vowels.length()];
    int countv2;
    int i=0;
    if(i<word.length();) { i++ {
    if (int j=0 && j<vowels.length()) {
    return j++;
    if (word.charAt(i)==vowels.charAt(j)) {
    countV[j]++; countV2++;
    for (int i=0; i<vowels.length(); i++) {
    System.out.println("Vowel "vowels.charAt(i)" = "+vcnt);
    System.out.println("Consonants = "+(word.length()-vtot)); }
    I also have a basic Palindrome code that works as a boolean but I need to make it return what the palindromes are and how many of them are there. I wanna know how I would do this.
    public class Palindrome{
    public static boolean isPalindrome(String word) {
    int left = 0;
    int right = word.length() -1;
    while (left < right) {       
    if (word.charAt(left) != word.charAt(right)) {
    return false;
    left++;
    right--;
    return true;
    I would also like to know how to actually start writing the word counter.

  • Help with 7 segment led program

    hey, I need some help with my program. The program is supposed to make digital numbers display randomly with a possible decimal point in it. If the decimal # has a leading zero, then the zero needs to be not displayed. also, when you click the change color button, the numbers and decimal point are supposed to change to one of three preset colors. I've got the numbers changing colors, but I can't get the decimal point to change color, nor can I get the numbers to change randomly.

    Your code does not compile.
    EDIT:
    for instance your Main class alone has a several glaring problems that suggest that you are foundering here. Please see comments in code below:
    public class Main {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
            JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
            MyJFrame mjf = new MyJFrame();
            // why use "while (true)"??? Swing is supposed to be event driven and doesn't need loops like this.
            // do you need to use a Swing Timer instead?
            while (true) {
                int deci = (int)(Math.random() * 3);
                int num = (int)(Math.random() * 1000);
                // why is the method below being called as if it were a
                // static method when it's not?  This is not a legal
                // expression
                Digit.DisplayNumber(num, deci);
                // why is the method below putting the event dispatch thread
                // (the EDT) to sleep.  While this is legal, it's not a smart
                // thing to do
                Thread.sleep(4000);

  • Help with implementing two different programs

    I need help with a couple of Java programs that I downloaded. I hope someone can help me. They work great if they're on their own, but if they are both on the same page, the 2nd one works, and the 1st one stops working. I'm pretty new to Java, so I don't know how to debug it too well.. Here's the 1st program:
    Conveyor belt slideshow script-
    ? Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com)
    For full source code, 100's more DHTML scripts, and Terms Of Use, visit dynamicdrive.com
    //Specify the slider's width (in pixels)
    var sliderwidth="250px"
    //Specify the slider's height
    var sliderheight="19px"
    //Specify the slider's slide speed (larger is faster 1-10)
    var slidespeed=2
    //configure background color:
    slidebgcolor=""
    //Specify the slider's images
    var leftrightslide=new Array()
    var finalslide=''
    leftrightslide[0]='<img src="images/movingwords.gif">'

    The code you post is javascript, NOT java ! ... but either way, maybe the scripts have variables in conflict, so if you pack each piece of code in diferent functions and then you call the functions it may work.

  • Help with GMAIL in Mail Program....

    Hi,
    I am using the Apple Mail Program in Leopard and just picked up a Gmail account. I want to set up my Gmail account on 4 different computers work/home/laptop) that I access all the time and am hoping I can set it up so that wherever I check my mail it looks more or less like it does on Gmail.com with respect to the emails:
    1. All mail that I've deleted on another computer is gone from all the other computers when checking mail on those other computers. Is that possible??? Currently, I use a bellsouth.net account and a .mac account, and when I log on to any of the computers via the mail program, it gives me all of my 'new mail', whether or not it was deleted on another computer.
    2. Sent mail. Is there any way to send it on one computer's Mail program and have it show up in my Sent box on the other computers?
    3. Ditto on Trash and other folders
    I did try to set it up my Gmail account using IMAP but I thendeleted the account on Mail because it looked 'weird'. I had a Mailbox in my Inbox for the Gmail account and then also another whole separate, duplicate Gmail account (with All Mail, Drafts, Sent Mail, Spam, Starred, and Trash Folders) further down the left side of mail. In testing an email to gmail account from my .mac account, the mail ended up in two places in my Mail and deleting one did not delete the others.
    If this cannot work, I can just go to gmail.com. BUT, I so love MAIL that I am hoping there is a fix to all this.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    My recollection is that unless you are a paid Hotmail account member, you cannot use Mail. Do a search within the discussion group, as I am not an expert, but I recall not getting Hotmail for that very reason.
    Perhaps give gmail a try.....
    That said....I still need some help with my posting! So please and thank you.

  • Problems with my client server program

    I am programming a client to server messeging system. I have been getting this error. [i programed a JOptionPane window if an IO error ocured and every time i connect with the client in keeps popping up.  Here is part of my code from the [b]server:
         class listener extends Thread {
              public void run() {
                   try {
                        recever = new ServerSocket(port);
                        send = recever.accept();
                        Thread process = new Thread(new mt());
                        process.start();
                   catch (IOException ioe) {
         class mt extends Thread {
              public void run() {
                   try {
                        send.setSoTimeout(1);
                   catch (IOException ioe) {
                   while (true) {
                        try {
                             in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(send.getInputStream()));
                             data.add(in.readLine());
                             JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, data, "this was the data", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
                        catch (NullPointerException ioe) {
                        catch (IOException ioe) {
                             JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error in the server!!", "ERROR", JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
         public static void main(String args[]) {
              new server().setVisible(true);
    }Now froim the client:
    if (e.getSource() == go) {
                   if (connected == true) {
                        try {
                             out = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(connector.getOutputStream()));
                        catch (IOException ioe) {
                             JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error sending", "ERROR", JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
                        type.setText("");
                   if (connected == false) {
                        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You are nnot connected!!", "ERROR", JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
    If you need more code to understand my problem just ask.
    Thanx

    Don't you think it might be a good idea to find out what kind of IOException you're getting? At least display ioe.getMessage. showMessages will take an Object array instead of a single string so you can do:
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, new Object[]{"Error in server", ioe.getMessage}, "Error",
    JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

  • I need help with the Bon Scott program

    Help me! I am learning Java from the book, "Teach Yourself Java through Osmosis" and I am having trouble with the Bon Scott program. Everytime I run it, which has been ca. 2 billion, it prints out, "Some balls are held for charity and some for fancy dress, but when they're held for pleasure, they're the balls that I like the best." It then proceeds to get pissed and finally vomits.
    Any suggestions ?

    What color is the vomit? That is, exactly what does it do when it gets pissed and vomits?

  • Need some help with Photoshop Elements Organizer

    I have had this program for awhile now, but have not had a lot of time to spend with it....also on a new Mac.
    I am trying to work with the Organizer.  First time I tried to import photos from IPhoto, it said there was no media to import....(I have a lot of pictures here).  I did some reading of the forums and determined that it might be a bug so I downloaded the update 9.0.3.   Now I am getting an error tht says Photoshop Elements Organizer is attempting to import photos from a default folder.  If I check OK, it begins to import all of my photos.
    Any help on this problem would be most appreciated.
    Thanks
    Frustrated

    The import is working fine. This is a warning message telling you that it is going to import photos and videos from the default folder of your system. Just to inform you about the action it is about to take.
    In case you find it not working, you can log a bug to Adobe at:
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

    Well, I'd say a starting point is to split the functionality into "client" and "server". This will wind up as two programs, the client making - remote - requests of the server.
    A fairly natural way would be to assign viewing/display to the client, direct access to the database to the server. So then you have to figure out
    o what kinds of requests can go acrross the divide.
    o what kind of data will be returned.
    This may not be that easy, because things that the server can do easily (like I/O) cnnot be carried back and forth in RMI calls.)

  • Problems with Server/Client UDP Program

    I have one application (MsgCenter.java) that acts as a server. It is supposed to wait infinitely on the client application (MsgClient.java) to either send a message (included with a nickname) or to retrieve the message from the file from a specific nickname. I'm having some problems right now. The file (the program assumes you have a file named "messages.txt") isn't being updated. Can anyone look at my code and try to help find any errors (most likely logical) and offer any advice on getting it to work properly? Thanks.

    I have a problem with a grey text box. It writes and says all i do. For example: When i now write it says all the letters one for one. If i open a new rogram it says so. If i click on something it gives me information about it. I can click the box and drag it, but dont close it. I have restarted the computer and closing all windows and programs. It just popped out when i was pressing some buttons on the mac. I think it is a easy way to fix it, but i cant find out what it is named and search for it. I think it is made for help and i did not download anything to get it. If i change user on the mac it does go away when I am on the other user, but i really want to keep the one i have because off all the settings and programs i have.
    Please reply if you know anything about this.
    This is a printscreen of the box, the language is Norwegian if someone wonder...
    It is really annoying, I hope someone can help me out.

    Oh thanks alot! Really happy that people take the time to answer my `noob`questions! Would not find that out by my own.
