java - Android Calendar get current day of week as string -


this question has answer here:

i tried string name of actual weekday way:

            calendar c = calendar.getinstance();             int dayofweek = c.get(calendar.day_of_week);              if (c.get(calendar.monday) == dayofweek) weekday = "monday";             else if (c.get(calendar.tuesday) == dayofweek) weekday = "tuesday";             else if (c.get(calendar.wednesday) == dayofweek) weekday = "wednesday";             else if (c.get(calendar.thursday) == dayofweek) weekday = "thursday";             else if (c.get(calendar.friday) == dayofweek) weekday = "friday";             else if (c.get(calendar.saturday) == dayofweek) weekday = "saturday";             else if (c.get(calendar.sunday) == dayofweek) weekday = "sunday";

but weekday stays null , have no idea why because debugger says dayofweek 5 should equal c.get(calendar.thursday)

i accomplished doing following:

string weekday; simpledateformat dayformat = new simpledateformat("eeee", locale.us);  calendar calendar = calendar.getinstance(); weekday = dayformat.format(calendar.gettime());
  • use day format "eeee" return full weekday name, i.e. tuesday
  • use day format "e" return the abbreviated name, i.e. tue
  • another benefit returning format in android translate weekday based on locale.

you want review simpledateformat learn more. think cleanest approach in not need switch or if statement if need string value.

c# - Send Image in Json : 400 Bad request -

from android trying send image class of data, iis webservice. (c#) the problem 400 bad request . the image being encoded base64 . , placed json rest of class elements. my guess base64 not valid inside json. server not understand it. if set string "" , post accepted fine. so question is, how make base64 valid within json array? ( tried url.encode no success). or how should send image android webservice? gson gson = new gson(); string json = gson.tojson(record); // record has param { string base64photo } how big image? i'm pretty sure surpassing iis json size limit (default 4 mb). check http://geekswithblogs.net/frankw/archive/2008/08/05/how-to-configure-maxjsonlength-in-asp.net-ajax-applications.aspx or http://www.webtrenches.com/post.cfm/iis7-file-upload-size-limits good luck!
