I have a couple of values that I'd like to set and have the app read for display. Originally, I tried setting a key: value pair in the manifest file, but found that that particular file is overwritten when the app is launched from the Developer app. The tiapp.xml file seems like the next logical choice. It looks like I can read custom properties from that, but I'd also like to read the <version></version> value and I don't see a way to do that. I'd hate to have to duplicate it.
What am I missing?
sigh
Step away for a few hours. Come back. It's right in front of my face as getVersion(). I was so busy looking for the clever that I missed the obvious.

I've encountered a Oracle Form which has a strange behavior. It seems that it looses the spanish character "ñ" when converting it from Oracle 10gR2 to Oracle 11gR1. This only seems to happen in Text Field Prompts. The rest of the elements in the form seem to display the characters properly. Any suggestions as to what might cause this or what to check to fix it? I've already have checked that the fonts installed support this character and that the NLS related settings look ok.
Well, after a whole day trying to determine what the problem was, it seems that the simplest answer was the right one: The original developer for this form seemed to want to assure that the character was displayed properly and he had a bad setup, so he was setting the text using the SET_ITEM_PROPERTY function, and using the CHR function to escape the character. Something like the following:
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('BLOCK.PASS_FIELD', PROMPT_TEXT, 'Contrase'||CHR(241)||'a: ');
That for the prompts for the fields which were titled "Contraseña: " in their properties.
In the current set up, it works, but on this new environmet, we are using an UTF8 encoding and the code for the letter "ñ" changes completely. Just for the sake of completeness the code in utf8 would be CHR(50097). But I suggest it would be better just to ask your DBA or SYSADMIN to fix the NLS settings so you can just use the prompt or field properties and don't have to get this "creative" and make other dev waste too much time.
It never ocurred to me to check for this, because the properties seemed to be set up correctly, but a simple test of creating a new field with the same properties finally showed me that the problem was specific to the 4 fields which were already created and searching for code-based attribute changes led me to find this was the issue. So I leave this answer here in the hope that someone else saves a few hours of his time and checks for the simple answer first.
Can anybody help with a Sample Custom Receive Pipeline Component to remove the Trailer of the input .txt file. I am new to BizTalk and struggling since last week but nothing worked.It would be great if somebody helps me to learn.
I guess this is the same issues over at MSDN.
You have to learn on your own but I will give you a tip, basically, how I would approach it, first time at least.
Copy the message Steam while looking for CR/LF, or whatever line delimiter it is.
Keep track of the Position of the last CR/LF.
When you find the end of the Stream, either don't copy the last line or reset the Position to the last CR/LF.
Keep at it, once you get it, you'll see how simple it really is.
I am relatively new to Drupal. We have a site and I've been asked to jump in and make some changes. I'm working on customizing the output of the Webforms module. I'm having trouble doing so because I can't seem to find a reference to the various data structures Webforms uses.
For example, I need to change something in a preprocess hook. Passed into the hook is a structure called $variables. I can see that attributes are being added to the piece I want to change, so I know I'm in the right hook. What I want to do is add something to the text. But I can't figure out where in $variables the text is so I can change it.
I'm sure what I need to change is in there, but I can't seem to get at it. All the documentation I've found on the web is either "paste this code in" or assumes you know the data structures.
So:
1. Is there a reference anywhere to these structures? $variables is one. $submission, $components are others. There are probably more. I know their contents vary widely with the specific webform, but looking for a general reference.
2. How can I see the contents of one of the structures from inside a hook? I've tried a lot of things, but no luck. Would be great to either have it output to the Apache log, or show up on the screen, something...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It feels like there's real power here, but I can't get at it because I'm missing some basics.
I would say you need to install 2 modules to figure out what is going on...
First Devel, allowing you to use the dmp function. This will output a whole array to the message area.
And then my new favorite module, Search Krumo.
A webform is generated from large array of data and finding the bit that is relevant to you can often be difficult just looking though the dmp output. Search Krumo puts a search box in the message area allowing you to search for any instances of a string in the whole array structure. When you've found the bit that is relevant it also lets you copy the path to that array element so you can easily modify values buried deep in multi-arrays.
EDIT:
If you don't want the output on the screen but would rather log it then use Devel Debug Log. Very useful for debugging ajax requests etc.
If you just need to log simple strings not whole arrays then the dd function is useful combined with: tail -f /tmp/drupal_debug.txt assuming you have SSH access.
After google i found three ways:
1. static variables
2. extending Application and using getApplicationContext
3. SharedPreferences
EDIT: read comments pls, i don't want to delete it, because it may help other who fell into the same trap...
Be careful with static variables!! I wrote an app which uses them, but on some devices it works, on some it doesn't. the problem is, if one activity edits that variable, finishes and the focus returns to another activity, the changes are not recognized. i haven't found a solution for this and somehow i don't get it working with getApplicationContext either...
Usually i would say that i made a mistake, but in both cases, it is working on an SGSII with Android 4.0.4 but it isn't on SGSIII with 4.1... :(
So as a consequence i assume that they've changed the use of global variables, maybe out of security reasons, so that every activity gets an own instance of that variable or so, i have no idea
Just wondering if any one might now how to fix this issue.
Every part of the databroker is created and also all the database connectivity is functional.
But once we try to place them together we come up with a error saying cannot create Null Databroker.
The thing that is really strange is that we have databrokers that are basicly the exact same working.
Can any one shine some light on this issue?
We worked on this together today. We did three things to troubleshoot and fix the problem:
we changed the calling workflow so that the dataset is refreshed inside the show-screen tags (previously, this was done before the screen was called).
we refreshed the dataset (a H2 db) and connected the database (before, it showed as pool not open)
we changed the database name to main
It is working now.
"Null databroker" suggests that the broker was not created correctly, although it doesn't look like that was the case since you don't mention having to modify it to get it to work.
In these cases it can be useful to look at the error logs through the admin app to see if there are errors being thrown at some time other than compile time.
