Problems displaying foreign text

Hi,
I have a swing application implementing a virtual keyboard with foreign text. However, when i try to display the foreign text(with keyboard clicks)onto a JTextArea, there are only ??? printing instead. I don't have an input method yet. Is having an input method the only solution. Is that the only way you can map your keyboard to all the foreign keys????
Help me out...please!!!

Hi,
Thanks for responding. By keyboard clicks, i mean the virtual keyboard i've set up. The virtual keyboard has foreign characters i it. So, if the user wants to type some information using his/her native language, he can click on any of the foreign keys in the virtual keyboard and the text would be entered on the textarea he would be wanting to type into. I have an english keyboard(also virtual)which works just fine but when i use the virtual keyboard with the foreign keys, i just have ? printing instead of the foreign text. Do you still think it is because of the the canDisplay(char) method of Font.
Awaiting your reply....
Bye and thanks again.

Problem displaying arabic text in xml document

Hi ..
I have an xml type coloum where i store an xml document that contains some arabic texts with UTF-8 encoding, m using an xsl file to transform the xml and display it in an html page.
At the database level when i select the xml col to dispaly the document, arabic texts are displayed correctly (DB is set to 1256), however when trying to display the text on html it gives me junk values. XSL sheet's encoding is set to windows-1256. M using Jdeveloper 1012 and BC4J frame work in my application.
How do i solve this problem.?
P.S.it wud b great if u support ur answer with examples .
Regards

You have to do it yourself - I don't have a ready solution. Just look into documentation how StyleSheets are used and see what properties work best for you:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/StyleSheet.html
Also, with embedded fonts you need to play with TextFormat settings and AntiAliasType

In addition, on my machine even if I don't emebed fonts - Arabic works in Arial, TImes and others.

PDF+ problems displaying foreign characters

I am opening PDF files from a Swedish newspaper in PDF+ application, but the Swedish local vowel variations (åäöÅÄÖ) are not displayed - instead they appear as rectangular boxes with an X inside.
Reading on the PDF+ site, they say that for Japanese characters to be mapped properly, you need to extend the amount of pre-installed fonts - but for these characters, all part of the usual Latin1 character set this problem shouldn't occur?
Anyone encountered any problems with "foreign" PDFs in PDF+?

I did not come across this problem cos.. I cant open a PDF file on my E51. Just now opened a new thread for help.

Problem displaying foreign characters in application

Hi,
Apologies in advance if this is the wrong forum for this question.
In my java application I have to allow the user to enter text which can contain "foreign" characters e.g. ø and è. I based the following code on a snippet I found on the web:
String nameContainingStrangeCharacters= new String(inputObject.getFullName().getBytes(), "UTF-8");
If I simply set this String back onto an object and display it on the front-end via JSP, then everything works fine on my local (Windows) build. I should add that I have the following line in my "output" JSP:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
The problem is when I deploy my app to a Unix server. If if I input the same string and try to redisplay it, the "foreign" characters are now replaced by question marks.
So if In type in the name Stig Inge Bjørnebyè, this appears as
Stig Inge Bjørnebyè
on my "output" screen in Windows, but as
Stig Inge Bj?rneby?
in Unix.
I have absolutely no idea why this is happening? Can anyone help?

Did you read [url http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#getBytes%28%29]String.getBytes() ?
Use String.getBytes(String charsetName) or getBytes(Charset charset)
or CharsetEncoder.
It works on your Windows box because of what the platform's default charset happens to be.
But you should not getBytes() using some arbitrary (non-UTF-8) encoding and then make a String pretending your bytes contain UTF-8.
Unless the String returned by inputObject.getFullName() is the munged result of using the wrong encoding and you are trying to un-mung it.

if i use unicode value equivalent to english chars, it works fine..i know there is some problem in loading the corresponding fonts..but not able to nail the problem.psl help..examples appreciated.

For example if you have a MS-OS check this site
http://www.hclrss.demon.co.uk/unicode/fonts.html
or you could simple try every font you can find on your system.

Update not displaying foreign language characters

I just upgraded to iTunes 9.1 for Windows 7, and now when I open it, the library no longer displays foreign characters (most specifically Japanese and Korean) anymore. It just shows boxes where the text should be. I'm worried that if I re-sync my iPod, it will only display boxes on that, too. Before I updated, everything was working fine and the library had no problem displaying foreign characters. Is there a way to fix this problem?

i've the same problem,, but i heared that they added more languages and character sets in the service pack 3
try to find about SP3,, and if you found that your languages supported then upgrade to it

Dynamic Text Field is not displaying foreign characters... HELP!

I have a dynamic text field that is not displaying foreign characters properly. They appear as boxes.
Here's what I've tried.
Under properties for the text field, I clicked on the embed characters button. In there, I pasted all the special characters I would need and clicked okay. Shouldn't this be enough for the text to display properly? What am I missing? Please help...

More info: I'm noticing that in the actual dynamic text field in my .FLA file, if I type a foreign character like é, it pops up as a block. My family font is set to New Caledonia... is it possible that New Caledonia doesn't have those particular glyphs? The thing that doesn't make sense to me though is, last year when I made this card, it worked fine with New Caledonia... Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Problem displaying CLOB in text file

Hello All,
I have a problem displaying the content from the database in notepad. When I click on a link on my jsf screen, I retrieve the data and display it in notepad.
I have my text content stored in the database with CLOB datatype. When I look in the database the data looks in the following format:
---------STARTS FROM NEXT LINE-------------
The firm, known for its keen oversight of products, has been the subject of complaints from firms who have had apps blocked from the store. Some developers have complained that the company's rules seem inconsistent.
Some have found apps blocked after seemingly minor updates, or for having content deemed inappropriate by them. In light of this, and after careful consideration, I believe it is unnecessary to sign this measure at this time.
Sincerely,
ABC
----------ENDS IN THE PREVIOUS LINE------------
Now when I display this content onto the notepad, all the spaces and new line characters are lost, and the entire display looks awkward. This is how it looks:
The firm, known for its keen oversight of products, has been the subject of complaints from firms who have had apps blocked from the store. Some developers have complained that the company's rules seem inconsistent.[]Some have found apps blocked after seemingly minor updates, or for having content deemed inappropriate by them. In light of this, and after careful consideration, I believe it is unnecessary to sign this measure at this time.[]Sincerely,[]ABC
All the new line characters are lost and it just puts some junk character in place of a new line.
When I copy the same text onto textpad, everything is alright and it displays exactly the way it is present in the database. I am also open to display the content in html, but in HTML it doesn't even display me the junk character in place of new line. It is just one single string without any line separators.
I am using the following code to put the content into the text.
public String writeMessage(){
   OutputStream outStream = null;
   HttpServletResponse response = getServletResponseFromFacesContext();
   Reader data = null;
   Writer writer = null;
   try{
      response.reset();
      response.setContentType("text/plain; charset=UTF-8");
      response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename="+id+"_Message.txt");
      outStream = response.getOutputStream();
      QueryRemote remote = serviceLocator.getQueriessEJB();
      data = remote.retrieveGovernorsVetoMessage(billId);
      writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter( outStream, "UTF-8" ) );
      int charsRead;
      char[] cbuf = new char[1024];
      while ((charsRead = data.read(cbuf)) != -1) {
         System.out.println(charsRead);
      writer.write(cbuf, 0, charsRead);
      writer.flush();
   }catch(Exception ex){
      ex.printStackTrace();
   }finally{
      //Close outStream, data, writer
      facesContext.responseComplete();
   return null;
}Any help or hints on resolving this issue would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

The data is imported from a third party application to my database. It doesn't display any newline characters when I view the data.
But when I do a regular expression search on text pad, I could see that my clob contains \n as the new line character. Is there a way to replace \n with \n\r while writing the data.
Thanks.

Problem in Displaying Subtotal text in Grid Display

Hi Experts,
             I got a problem in passing the Subtotal text and Total Text in Grid Display.In my Case we are calculating Interest Rate for Document Number for Each Assignment Number. If any discount is maintain for document, calculate the interest rate as per the given formula.
           So, in this case, Instead of Subtotal text, we can view the 2 dots in Grid display. But in the place of that or else, i want to display the Subtotal. But this not happen in case of Grid Display, I tried in List Display, i can able to display the text.
Here is the Code what i maintain.
wa_sortcat-fieldname = 'ZUONR'.
wa_sortcat-tabname   = 'IT_FINAL'.
wa_sortcat-subtot    = c_x.
APPEND wa_sortcat TO sortcat.
wa_sortcat-fieldname = 'BUDAT'.
wa_sortcat-tabname   = 'IT_FINAL'.
APPEND wa_sortcat TO sortcat.
wa_sortcat-fieldname = 'INTER'.         "Interest Rate
wa_sortcat-subtot    = c_x.
wa_sortcat-tabname   = 'IT_FINAL'.
APPEND wa_sortcat TO sortcat.
Fieldcatalog:
    wa_fieldcat-outputlen    = c_15.   " Interest Rate
    wa_fieldcat-do_sum       = c_x.
Layout:
alv_layout-colwidth_optimize = c_x.
alv_layout-zebra                    = c_x.
alv_layout-subtotals_text       = 'Subtotal'.
alv_layout-totals_text              = 'Total'.
I check in the SDN, But in some Threads, They explain as, We cant display the Subtotal text in Grid display.
Please help me to sort this issue. And clarify this whether this is possible or not.
Thanks in Advance.
Srini

Hi Naresh,
    Thanks for your reply, I added the given code by you to fieldcatalog for Interest rate field. i.e.
    wa_fieldcat-outputlen    = c_15.
    wa_fieldcat-do_sum       = c_x.
    wa_fieldcat-inttype      = 'I'.
Is this is a correct process what you are thinking, or i had to declare for every field what i declare under fieldcatalog.
Regards,
Srini

Display uneditable text problem

How to display uneditable text within a border without showing a cursor?
Thank you!

Have you tried using a StringItem? It's like a TextField, but then its contents is uneditable. Should work I guess. You can configure an lcdui.Item with appearance mode. Item.BUTTON can be used for visualising the lcdui.Item object -- in this case a StringItem -- like a genuine (but non-clickable) button. Try it and decide whether it solves your problem.
Good luck!
Cheers,
Jasper

Problem causing (new line) in display of text in a report

Environment: Oracle 11.2; application express 4.1
I have a table with a unicode clob column into which I insert descriptive text. Within these text entries I have inserted CR/LF (\000D\000A). However when I display the text entries in a report, the text streams instead of appearing with separate lines.
My report statement:
select text_entry_dt, entry_authy_nm, entry_text
from obj_text
where obj_id = :P41_FIND_ID
and text_type_cd = 'DES'Any suggestions for what to do to obtain line separation within the entry_text content?
TIA,
George

Where is "Display as Text (based on LOV, saves state)"

I am developing an application using the version of HTMLDB that comes with OracleXE.
I have a tabular form, in which the default column for a particular item is sourced from a previously entered item on another page. This is a lookup item and needs to be non-changeable by the user. So I want to use the "Display As" option "Display as Text (based on LOV, saves state)". However, this option is not available in the pull-down for "Display As". The option "Display as Text (based on LOV, does not save state)" is available, but using this option means that the item is not saved to the database.
Does anyone know why the stateful display as option is not available.
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Scott, thanks for the feedback. The problem is that although the value is displayed correctly, it is NOT saved to the database. Effectively, header information is entered in a previous screen, and one of the entered fields is written to each of the detail lines associated with the header. We are re-platforming an existing application (written in an obscure form of basic), and at this stage changing the schema is not an option. So this header item (which is a foreign key to a "store" table), is meant to be written down to each line, on the screen displayed as the store name, and written to the inserted lines as the lookup id. If I use the dispaly as text save state option teh database is updated correctly, but displays the id rather than name on the screen. The only display as lov option i can see is the one that does not save state. If I use this option the screen displays as I want but the database is not updated. I need to use the display as lov saves state option. but i do not see it.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time.

Display As Text (based on LOV, saves state) "p_t03" was assigned by APEX

Hi All,
I have an ITEM
Name: P36_INT
Display As: Display As Text (based on LOV, saves state)
Output in my HTML:
[input type="hidden" name="p_t03" value="YES" />[span id="P36_INT">Interior[/span>
'p_t03' was assigned by APEX
In my Javascript I have to access it as the following to get the "YES" value:
var lintObj = html_GetElement('p_t03');
Originally it was 'p_t01' but it changed from 'p_t01' to 'p_t03' somehow.. out of my control.
How do I assign an ID or assign my own name to the "hidden" item?
