Question

Hi there I am need asistance with my android java code. The user is supposed to enter a surname into the surnameEditText field then click the calculate button to recieve the soundex code in the soundexTextView field. I feel like my approach is correct but I cannot find it to work properly.

package com.example.soundexcalculator;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.view.Menu;

import android.widget.EditText;

import android.widget.TextView;

import android.widget.Button;

import android.view.View.OnClickListener;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

private EditText surnameEditText;

private TextView soundexTextView;

String surname;

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

surnameEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.surnameEditText);

soundexTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.SoundexResultTextView);

surname = surnameEditText.getEditableText().toString();

Button calculateButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.calcBtn);

calculateButton.setOnCickListener(startButtonListener);

}

public OnClickListener startButtonListener = new OnClickListener()

{

  public static String soundex(String s) {

char[] x = s.toUpperCase().toCharArray();

char firstLetter = x[0];

// convert letters to numeric code

for (int i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {

switch (x[i]) {

case 'B':

case 'F':

case 'P':

case 'V': { x[i] = '1'; break; }

case 'C':

case 'G':

case 'J':

case 'K':

case 'Q':

case 'S':

case 'X':

case 'Z': { x[i] = '2'; break; }

case 'D':

case 'T': { x[i] = '3'; break; }

case 'L': { x[i] = '4'; break; }

case 'M':

case 'N': { x[i] = '5'; break; }

case 'R': { x[i] = '6'; break; }

default: { x[i] = '0'; break; }

}

}

// remove duplicates

String output = "" + firstLetter;

for (int i = 1; i < x.length; i++)

if (x[i] != x[i-1] && x[i] != '0')

output += x[i];

// pad with 0's or truncate

output = output + "0000";

return output.substring(0, 4);

  

String name1 = surname;

String code1 = soundex(name1);

soundexTextView.setText(code1 + ": " + name1);

};

@Override

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.

getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);

return true;

}

}
