Please do continue asking until everything runs fine for you !!

OK then, in the interest of improving your documentation.  Having added

Code Select Expand



DictionaryDataFile.initValues(false);



I now get the following error.  The line in the code represents the call to DictionaryDataFile.initValues(false);

java.lang.NullPointerException

        at LwlPlay.<init>(LwlPlay.java:58)



Thanks for the response Gert.

However, I'm only one step closer to the solution.


Having added the additional code you suggested I now have this error when the getTranslationResult function is called from within the Translation class.

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at de.kugihan.dictionaryformids.translation.Translation.getTranslationResult(+26)
        at de.kugihan.dictionaryformids.translation.TranslationThread.doTranslation(+220)

        at de.kugihan.dictionaryformids.translation.TranslationExecution.executeTranslation(+46)
        at LwlPlay.commandAction(LwlPlay.java:99)



I'm confident the exception is being reported from within this block of code within the Translation.java file in the getTranslationResults function.

try {
Normation normationObj =      DictionaryDataFile.supportedLanguages[DictionarySettings.getInputLanguage()].normationObj;
// determine search words from the to be translated word
Vector searchWords = normationObj.searchWord(toBeTranslatedWord);
// get translation for each searchWord
for (int wordCount = 0; wordCount < searchWords.size(); ++wordCount) {
SearchedWord searchWord = (SearchedWord) searchWords.elementAt(wordCount);
String nonNormatedWord = searchWord.word;
String toBeTranslatedWordNormated = normationObj.normateWord(new StringBuffer(nonNormatedWord), true).toString();
if (toBeTranslatedWordNormated.length() > 0) {
searchTranslationForNormatedWord(toBeTranslatedWordNormated);
}
}
}
catch (Throwable t) {
Util.getUtil().log(t);
}




I'm affraid I dont know enough about the architechture to solve this problem easily though.

Again, any help appreciated 

Hello there,

I've downloaded the DictionaryForMIDs_engdeu_DTS.jar from the dicts.info site and added it to my project in netbeans.

I have a basic Form

public class LwlPlay extends Form implements CommandListener, ItemStateListener, TranslationExecutionCallback{
}


with this line in the constructor...

TranslationExecution.setTranslationExecutionCallback(this);

with the following implementations for the TranslationExecutionCallback interface...

    public void newTranslationResult(TranslationResult resultOfTranslation)
    {
        if (resultOfTranslation.translationFound)
        {
            Enumeration temp = resultOfTranslation.translations.elements();
           
            while(temp.hasMoreElements())
            {
                SingleTranslation t = (SingleTranslation)temp.nextElement();
                append(new StringItem(t.fromText.toString(), t.toText.toString()));
            }
        }
    }

    public void deletePreviousTranslationResult()
    {

    }

during an event when a button is clicked I execute this...

                try
                {
                    TranslationExecution.executeTranslation("hello", false);
                }
                catch(Exception e)
                {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

if executeInBackground is false, I get the following exception...

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at de.kugihan.dictionaryformids.general.Util.memCheck(+3)
        at de.kugihan.dictionaryformids.translation.Translation.getTranslationResult(+20)

        at com.sun.midp.lcdui.DefaultEventHandler$QueuedEventHandler.run(DefaultEventHandler.java:608)

if its set to true, I get an unhandeled java.lang.NullPointerException

If anyone can help me out I'd greatly appriciate it!

Cheers

John
