"Error: cannot find symbol" on String.split() and String.replace() methods?

[clementl...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I get an "Error: cannot find sympbol" on this line:

                        String [] links = value.split(",")

Is it something expected?

The full trace:

Compiling 4 source files to H:\NetBeansProjects\CodenameOneJava7HelloWorld\build\tmp

H:\NetBeansProjects\CodenameOneJava7HelloWorld\src\userclasses\StateMachine.java:111: error: cannot find symbol

                        String [] links = value.split(",");

  symbol:   method split(String)

  location: variable value of type String

H:\NetBeansProjects\CodenameOneJava7HelloWorld\src\userclasses\StateMachine.java:112: error: method replace in class String cannot be applied to given types;

                        String link = links[0].replace("thumbnail=", "");

  required: char,char

  found: String,String

  reason: actual argument String cannot be converted to char by method invocation conversion

Thanks!

Clement

Use StringUtil:

StringUtil.tokenize(..)

Hi,
Some core methods in the JDK aren't supported. Specifically String.split() requires a regular expression parser which is very hard to get right and 100% compatible with the JDK.
It was also hard to get it to work on all the different JVM's we support (Windows, iOS mostly). Now that we are transitioning to the new iOS VM this will hopefully open the gateway, ideally we will port it to Windows Phone and then adding new methods/functionality to the base JVM API support should become far easier since our internal code base will be unified.
