What would Java List Object hardcoded instantiation look like?

No, the code returns you a list of "Result" type objects not "String" objects.

But if you can stub out a List of Strings instead, this is how you can hardcode it...

List<String> strings = Arrays.asList("Test", "Test2", "Test3");

CEHJ, I really like that class. Thanks

So, in this area of my code, at the end, how do I correctly create a StringList that equals the contents of the items List, so I can create a StringList Object to save ? for loop?


List<Result> items = new ArrayList<Result>();
       
        for (long i = 1; i <= 10; i += 10) { //change first 10 to 100 to get more results
            items.addAll(executeSearch("search terms", i));
        }
       
        // do correct StringList stringList =items;

Thanks

Can you post your Result class?

Sorry, I didn't realize it wasn't all standard stuff.
It's in a jar file. How do I find out which jar file? Custom search Google API has a river of jars
Would you like the jar file? Can I post jar files here? It might even need them all from the API page.

Thanks

Oh if it's part of the Google api - don't worry. I'll take a look at the javadoc

Update: can't find the Result class in the javadoc. Can you post a link?

Hi,
I'm not sure what that means? I only have the jar files and Google.

Thanks

A link to the javadoc (api docs) for the Result class. Do you have one?

Unfortunately not. Sorry. I cant find it.
Where might I find them?
The only files in the development libraries are JAR files, no documentation
Other ideas?

Thanks

I'm surprised you're able to use the Result class then ;) The point is, what is going to be the point of correspondence between Result and a String in a List? Presumably result.url? (i'm guessing). That needs to be established. Then, do you need to be able to take a String and (re)create a Result instance?

Good, Thanks

I decided to put in a very hot topic right now, "muslim brotherhood" and Google in Safari found  "About 199000000 results available" - 200 million

and it went on to list 100 links to sites, as my code instructs, like

99:    Cairo protesters to Obama: Stop supporting the Muslim ... - Twitchy (http://twitchy.com/2013/06/27/cairo-protesters-to-obama-stop-supporting-the-muslim-brotherhoods-fascist-regime-photos/)
100:    BBC News - Profile: Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12313405)

How will we get 1000's more?, not just 100
. . my . . Code Below, I took out duplication of String[] as you suggested
What else would you suggest to collect many URL's?
If I ask it for 1000 items, search results, it crashes.    * * example output at the end of the code *

Thanks

Thanks,
It gives 100 URL returns, not just 8, right now. How can we increase that?

We need to focus on one question at a time - the number of search results is quite a different issue and should be the subject of a different question.

Anyway, if you want to create a StringList to hold the List<Result> found, the point of correspondence being probably the link the Result holds, you need to do something like:

List<Result> results = TestCustomSearchAPI.executeSearch(foo, bar);
StringList latestResultsLinks = new StringList(results.size());
for(Result r : results) {
   latestResultsLinks.add(r.getLink());
}

Select allOpen in new window

Add this ctor to StringList:

   public StringList(int numElements) {
	super(numElements);
    }

Select allOpen in new window

Okay, this output looks good. . . below

I just need to find out how to get more at a time? in another question? Returns Title and URL
