I need help with alot of things
ok, first off, whenever I am trying to type a message in a thread, it has no problem putting my message in, I just can't see it because my scree shifts to the top left corner. Even now, every time I reposition my scree and begin to type, it automatically throws the screen to the top left. Why does my Pixi do this? Next, I downloaded some ringtones, and attempted to set them for my text message alert. I went to preferences and accounts, it plays there, but is dead silent whenever a text comes in. The defaults work fine, but not my downloads. Also, whenever I get a picture message, the text that accompanies the message doesn't show, just the picture. My notification shows a text, but whenever I view the text message, blamo! Just picture. And lastly, I don't know if this is a part of the phone settings, but it doesn't tell me when every message is sent. Can this be fixed? Can any of it? I have a =alm =ixi from Verizon, and at first I thought it was great, but now it's really starting to tick me off.. Any help? Please?
Hello and welcome to the forums;
It sounds like you've asked several questions, and I'll try to answer them in order.
1) Screen 'jumping' when typing in a forum: This is generally because the page you have visited is not coded for mobile websites.
2) Downloaded ringtones not working: How did you download the ringtones? Through email or text messages? If so, these tones are streamed from the message, not downloaded to your device. To use an .mp3 as a ringtone, you need to use USB mode to move the .mp3 from your PC to the device. Also, for the text tone, only the first 1-2 seconds of the tone or song will be used, so if it starts with silence, that's all you're likely to get.
3) Picture mail text not showing: Have you tried scrolling down below the picture to make sure the text that accompanies the picture is not below the picture?
4) Sent message timestamp: There is a timestamp for the current day within the Messaging Application, but after the current day, the exact time of the sent message is not saved.
If any of your concerns are not answered, please let us know, and go into a little more detail so we can be of further assistance.
Life moves fast. Don't miss a thing.

I NEED HELP WITH KERNEL ERROR THINGS
So...yesterday I was on the Apple website looking up why my computer shuts off randomly and I was going to download new firmwear but it said that I needed to download Mac OS X 10.4.8 first...(I have Mac OS X 10.4.6) So I started to download it and I left the room. When I came back to check on the progress it had turned off and whenever I try to turnit back on it says "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the restart button" and in the background it says:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x0039BDDF): Unable to find driver for this platform: "ACPI".
Debugger called: <panic>
Backtrace, Format - Frame : Return Address (4 potential args on stack)
0xb973e04 : 0x128b5e
...and a buch of other stuff and then...
Kernel version:
Darwin Kernel Version 8.6.2: Thur Apr 13 18:48:29 PDT 2006; root:xnu-792.9.59.obj~1/RELEASE_I386
Can you help me get my computer to turn on again??? I've tried restarting it multiple ways and am at a loss.Hi,
the XLabs have a good article on how to resolve Kernel Panics: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
'Reboot while depressing C' means that you put the OSX DVD 1 that came with your Mac into the optical drive; restart your Mac from the Apple-Menu and during the restart hold down the 'C'-key on your keyboard.
That way your Mac is not booted from the internal harddisk but from the OSX DVD.
Good Luck

anyway, my compiler comes up with nothing but when i execute it and press "go" to start the process, the program does what it is meant to exept for at the end where it always displays "you lose" regardless of anything that has happened.i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong.

anyhoo, for those of you who want a question its "what am i doing wrong that prevents the user from winning?"
thankyou for your help (if you do help).the point of the decremation is that duh is incremented if you get the answer right,
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e){
box.setEnabled(false);
if(box.getSelectedItem() == ql5.getText()){
duh ++;
} else {
funnum ++;
} and then duh is decremented, like so:
case 21:
timelabel.setText("");
duh --;
if(duh == 1){
ql6.setText("you win!!!");
} else {
ql6.setText("you lose");
break;the point is that if the user gets it right, duh should be incremented, then in the switch statements decrements the value of duh. so if the user got it right, duh should equal 1. else duh will be decreased to zero
hope that makes it more clear (i'm not very good with explaining stuff) -

</MAP>i just need to figure out the :
opener.document.myform(opener.document.myform.inputName.value).value += theChar;
how to change it to my p2_message_desc ?
thanksthanks carl ,
i changed it to:
document.getElementById('P2_MESSAGE_DESC').value += theChar;
and it put me the keyword in the textarea.
one problem left :-(
i want it to put the keyword where the cursor is for example
if i have this sentence in my textarea:
i love oracle htmldb application
and cursor is before htmldb word and i enter the word (push the virtual keyboard bottons):
develope
the sentence will be:
i love develope oracle htmldb application .
now if i do that i'm getting:
i love oracle htmldb application develope.
i hope you get my point.
thanks -
Need help with window drawing thing
Hi all,
This program moves a circle around a screen. It used to work, even in the full screen mode that I have made it in. However, the contents of windowClass that set the attributes of the window (size, full screen, etc) used to be in the run() method of the main class. When I moved them to the windowClass class to tidy up the code, the program for some reason no longer paints the contents of the 'artwork' object to the screen. The KeyEvents still work, and everything. I can't figure out why, because this change was the only one I made between the program working and not working - I have not changed anything relating to the container or artwork at all.
In case you have not figured out yet this is an application, not an applet.
Sorry about the lack of programming notes, this program was just intended as a quick test and while I was writing it I did not see the need. (from the name you can see it started off as a test of KeyEvents but went a little further) If nobody can follow then I will put them in, but I would rather not because that takes time.
Thank you!

}Thank you again!Okay, just figured out why now, the call to method:
device.setFillScreenWindow(...)
makes the frame visible, so changes to the content pane are not updated automatically, you have to do a content.validate() to make sure that the changes are applied if it is already visible. By resetting the window's content pane content.validate() must be called...
So you could do several things:
1) do the window.setContentPane(content); like I did before,
2) do a content.validate(); after you add drawing to it...
3) move device.setFullScreenWindow(...) from the constructor to run
method after you set up the content pane... -
Need help with a few things in Photoshop CS4
1) When I change a photo, I click to save, up pops the JPEG Options box, which has been set to 12 since last year. Today, it suddenly changes itself to 6 for no good reason. Each and every photo I change, I have to now tell it 12, not 6. How do I get it back to 12, and get it to stay there??? How/why did it change itself in the first place?
2) How can I view photos and select the ones I want to go to the lab? In previous CS versions, I could view large thumbnails, and use the flag feature. I can't seem to find out how to do that, within Bridge.
3) When I pull a lot of photos up, say 50, in Photoshop, and try to float them all to view them, it won't let me, says I have too many windows open, and to close some so it can float the remaining ones. This is retarded. Without floating, the images numbers are all stuck together in a line on that top bar, and I have to click each number to see the image, but I can only see maybe 6 images total, unless I close them one by one, which is then replaced with a different image. Any suggestions on how to undo this feature altogether? I always love "new features" that makes everything 20 times as hard as it was before. Great thinking.
Thanks.For #2, adjusting the size wasn't the problem. It was flagging them to sort them. I found out that in CS4, it has a different name other than flagging.
For #3, I have tons of memory. 4 gb on a quad core computer. It's maddening that when the images are open, they're in those stupid boxes, very hard to work with. Free floating is so much easier. But if I say to float them, it won't. It just says too many are open. Well, they're ALREADY open. I just now want to FLOAT them. But it won't do it. Maybe if I have 20 or 30 open, then it'll float them. -
Need help with a rudimentary program
I'm sort of new at this so i need help with a few things... I'm making a program to compile wages and i need answers with three things: a.) what are the error messages im getting meaning? b.) How can i calculate the state tax as 2% of my gross pay with the first $200 excluded and c.) how can i calculate the local tax as a flat $10 with $2 deducted for each dependant. any help is appreciated
Here is what i have so far:
public class WagesAsign1
public static void main(String[] args)
int depend=4;
double hrsWork=40;
double payRate=15;
double grossPay;
grossPay=payRate*hrsWork;
double statePaid;
double stateTax=2.0;
statePaid=grossPay*(stateTax/100);
double localPaid;
double localTax=10.0;
localPaid=grossPay*(localTax/100);
double fedPaid;
double fedTax=10.0;
double taxIncome;
fedPaid=taxIncome*(fedTax/100);
taxIncome=grossPay-(statePaid+localPaid);
double takeHome;
System.out.println("Assignment 1 Matt Foraker\n");
System.out.println("Hours worked="+hrsWork+" Pay rate $"+payRate+" per/hour dependants: "+depend);
System.out.println("Gross Pay $"+grossPay+"\nState tax paid $"+statePaid+"\nLocal tax paid $"+localPaid+"\nFederal tax paid $"+fedPaid);
System.out.println("You take home a total of $"+takeHome);
and these are the error messages so far:
WagesAsign1.java:23: variable taxIncome might not have been initialized
fedPaid=taxIncome*(fedTax/100);
^
WagesAsign1.java:29: variable takeHome might not have been initialized
System.out.println("You take home a total of $"+takeHome);
^edit: figured it out... please delete post

I followed a tut and learned how to do everything I'll need.
I'm a kid, so I don't need to be professional about anything.
Anyways, the tutorial left out the last part. How to publish your
website. It said to find a guide in the help from dreamweaver, but
I didn't find it. If anybody could sum it up for me, simple or not,
it would be greatly appreciated.> Would he be able to give it to me
Yes - he would relay to you the FTP login information sent to
him by his
host.
Alternatively, you could give him the files, and let him
upload them using
that same FTP information.

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service
Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")
Thank You,

Phenix City, Alabama 36869Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

Need help with trim and null function
Hi all,
I need help with a query. I use the trim function to get the first three characters of a string. How do I write my query so if a null value occurs in combination with my trim to say 'Null' in my results?
ThanksHi,
Thanks for the reply. What am I doing wrong?
SELECT trim(SUBSTR(AL1.user_data_text,1,3)),NVL
(AL1.user_data_text,'XX')
FROM Table
I want the XX to appear in the same column as the
trim.The main thing you're doing wrong is not formatting your code. The solution may become obvious if you do.
What you're saying is:
SELECT trim ( SUBSTR (AL1.user_data_text, 1, 3))
, NVL ( AL1.user_data_text, 'XX' )
FROM Tablewhich makes it clear that you're SELECTing two columns, when you only want to have one.
If you want that column to be exactly like the first column you're currently SELECTing, except that when that column is NULL you want it to be 'XX', then you have to apply NVL to that column, like this:
SELECT NVL ( trim ( SUBSTR (AL1.user_data_text, 1, 3))
, 'XX'
FROM Table -
I need help with resetting my ichat. When i try to login now it wont let me... it says "AOL Instant Messenger password" and then "iChat can't log in to ... because your login ID or password is incorrect. How do I reset this if I cant log in? When I try to press online the same thing pops up and I have no way of logging in or asking for help.
Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

Need Help With File Matching Records
I need help with my file matching program.
Here is how it suppose to work: FileMatch class should contain methods to read oldmast.txt and trans.txt. When a match occurs (i.e., records with the same account number appear in both the master file and the transaction file), add the dollar amount in the transaction record to the current balance in the master record, and write the "newmast.txt" record. (Assume that purchases are indicated by positive amounts in the transaction file and payments by negative amounts.)
When there is a master record for a particular account, but no corresponding transaction record, merely write the master record to "newmast.txt". When there is a transaction record, but no corresponding master record, print to a log file the message "Unmatched transaction record for account number ..." (fill in the account number from the transaction record). The log file should be a text file named "log.txt".
Here is my following program code:

I am not sure what is wrong with my code above to make my results different from the correct results.
Much help is appreciated. Please help.From the output, it looks like one problem is just formatting -- apparently you're including a newline in log entries and not using tabs for the newmast output file.
As to why the numbers are off -- just from glancing over it, it appears that the problem is when you add multiple transaction values. Since account.combine() is so simple, I suspect that you're either adding creating transaction objects incorrectly or not creating them when you should be.
Create test input data that isolates a single case of this (e.g., just the Mary Smith case), and then running your program in a debugger or adding debugging code to the add/combine method, so you can see what's happening in detail.
Also I'd recommend reconsidering your design. It's a red flag if a class has a name with "Create" in it. Classes represent bundles of independant state and transformations on that state, not things to do. -
I need Help with a website I've created
I need help with a website I've created (www.jonathanhazelwood.com/lighthouse) I created the folowing site with dreamweaver at my current resolution 1366 by 768. Looks great on my screen resolution but if it is viewed on other resolutions the menu moves and some of the text above and below. How can I keep all content centered and working like it does on 1366 by 768 on all resolutions. The htm to my site is below I started off with a blank template through dreamweaver CS5.

You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.

<p> Special Message from Perry Stone </p>
<h2> Was Jesus Born on December 25?</h2>

<p>Last year, in response to the growing number of Christians who celebrate Hanukkah but hate Christmas, I wrote an article for this website titled “Hanukkah or Christmas?” I explained why I think Jesus was either conceived or birthed on December 25.</p>

</html>Look at all the apdiv's you have. Those are absolutely positioned layers. I'm assuming by your post that you are very new to Dreamweaver and HTML and CSS. I would highly recommend not using absolutely positioned layers until you have a better grasp on HTML and CSS.
Looking at your code I would suggest that you consider using one of Dreamweaver's built in, or downloadable templates as a starting point and work from there.

I need help with illustrator 10
I need help with illustrator 10, I have artwork I need to finish in it and it keep kicking me off.
I have added transparency, using SVG effects, a lot more detail and that is when it started kicking me off. I just added 2 gb of ram thinking it was ram I needed but it keeps kicking me off.
I think there is something I need to change in how I save it???
I have a mini mac, 10.5.8
The screen also turns white while I am working and when it does kick me off it says there is an error.I know I am behind the times but I am just trying to get this deadline done and be able to update my computer and such in a few months. Help!I have very simple artwork and when I add any textures or transparency or
any type of detail from SVG effects it will not let me copy it and paste or
when I do try to move it everything turns white or it just kicks me off.
Then I cannot get back onto illustrator. It takes a very long time to save
it or move things. This has not happened before. I have been designing
for 25 years and am self taught. I can get on my simple designs. I am
saving my artwork as AI document. I just have to finish the designs and
put them into dropbox. I do not need to print. I did add 2 GB of ram
thinking the extra memory would help. I think I need to turn something off
and turn something on. There is an error window that comes up the says the
application illustrator has quit unexpectedly. I am at a dead end on what
to do! -

}the only problem now is about how it should display the right info about the person whenever i click its name on the list.. something about file reading or something, i just cant figure it out.
and also about how to make it scroll once it exceeds the list.. i cant make it work, maybe something about wrong declaration..
thanks in advance..
Edited by: syder on Mar 14, 2008 2:26 AMLike said before, do one thing at a time. At startup, something like:
//put all the content in a list
ArrayList<String> lines = new ArrayList<String>();
while(String line=rand.readLine()!=null) {
lines.add(line);
}If you follow the good advice to create a class to encapsulate the entries, you could populate a list of such entries like this:
static final int ENTRY_SIZE = 3;//you have 3 fields now, better to have a constant if that changes
ArrayList<Entry> entries = new ArrayList<Entry>();
for(int i=0; i<lines.size(); i+=ENTRY_SIZE) {
Entry entry = new Entry(lines.get(i), lines.get(i+1), lines.get(i+2);
entries.add(newEntry);
}You could also do both of the above in one run, but I think you will understand better what's happening if you do one thing at a time.
If you don't want to put the entries in an encapsulating class, you can still access this without looping:
int listStartIdx = <desired_entry_index>*ENTRY_SIZE;
String att1 = lines.get(listStartIdx).substring(1);
String att2 = lines.get(listStartIdx+1).substring(1);
String att3 = lines.get(listStartIdx+2).substring(1);
