I have some code, but it is not working as expected. My logic doesn't seem to be faulty, so I think it is an implementation error. My code:
public boolean[] party_check(){
Date date_ET = new Date(party_dateET.getYear(), party_dateET.getMonth(), party_dateET.getDayOfMonth());///Date is deprecated,
///but easy to handle
///this is used to test the date contained in the datepicker, party_dateET. If it is before the day today, then it will not write,
///and a message is displayed
boolean[] return_array = new boolean[4];
///EditText party_titleET;
///EditText party_timeET;
///EditText party_dateET;
///EditText party_venueET;
return_array[0] = true;
if(party_titleET.getText().length() == 0){
return_array[1] = false;
return_array[0] = false;
}else{
return_array[1] = true;
}
if(date_ET.before(Calendar.getInstance().getTime()) == true){
return_array[2] = false;
return_array[0] = false;
///tests that the date entered is not invalid, ie. is in the future.
///not test for time. I could say that if time == 00:00, then don't run, or use a listener to check if it has changed,
///using a boolean value. But this would not really benefit the task much, so I haven't. It would also
///take more coding, and more complex coding.
}else{
return_array[2] = true;
}
if(party_venueET.getText().length() == 0){
return_array[3] = false;
return_array[0] = false;
}else{
return_array[3] = true;
}
return return_array;
///return_array[0] - 1st value in array - is used as toggle as to whether the party is ready or not.
///return_array[1-4] are used to indicate to the user which textbox is empty/ has a problem.
}
However it does not do what I expect it to do when I return the boolean array. This is used for testing whether the user has entered a text value into the EditText's. However it does not work as expected. Is my logic faulty, or I have implemented it wrong? Thanks for the help!!
