Android Question [Solved]How to code function CharArrayToString()

[Olaan]

Refer to Daestrum's a part of code

Public Sub CharArrayToString(YourCharArray As A Char()) As String
    Dim b() As Char = YourCharArray
    Dim d As String
    d =  d.As(JavaObject).RunMethod("valueOf",Array(b))
    Return d
End Sub

You must use the builtin library "ByteConverter"

Public Sub CharArrayToString(YourCharArray() As Char) As String
    Dim bc As ByteConverter
    Return bc.FromChars(YourCharArray)
End Sub

Public Sub StringToCharArray(YourString As String) As Char()
    Dim bc As ByteConverter
    Return bc.ToChars(YourString)
End Sub

[CODE lang="b4x" title="Example of usage"] Dim myString As String = "This is a string"
Log($"myString:${myString}"$)

Dim myCharArray() As Char = StringToCharArray(myString)
Log($"myCharArray:${myCharArray}"$)

Dim AndNowAsStringAgain As String = CharArrayToString(myCharArray)
Log($"AndNowAsStringAgain:${AndNowAsStringAgain}"$)[/CODE]

Resulting logs:

myString:This is a string
myCharArray:[C@2ef9b8bc
AndNowAsStringAgain:This is a string

But I would not have made subs for this conversion, I would rather done like this:

    Dim bc As ByteConverter

    Dim myString As String = "This is a string"
    Log($"myString:${myString}"$)

    Dim    myCharArray() As Char = bc.ToChars(myString)
    Log($"myCharArray:${myCharArray}"$)

    Dim AndNowAsStringAgain As String = bc.FromChars(myCharArray)
    Log($"AndNowAsStringAgain:${AndNowAsStringAgain}"$)
