Hey everyone. I got a problem with a piece of code that worked some time (maybe a year) ago. When I print() a word containing any german umlaut, for example “Ü”, I get something like "Ã¼ ". Encoding selected in the android manifest is “UTF-8”. Processing version 3.5.3. I already tried several things I thought would solve the problem, but didn’t. If someone knows how to solve that issue, please let me know!

But as one can read here switch expressions should work with strings.

Yes Android Studio exepts it. But Processing is a Java wrapper, so I have to accept it, as in reference. No idea why they implemented this. Also apde uses exact same core , so I do not understand this.

I have troulbe installing the selectFile library. After downloading it through the Library Manager I have to select “Install Compressed Library”. When doing this I immediately get back to my code, there is still no library. Any idea how this could be fixed? Do I really have to install it manually? edit: I installed it manually now, but it would be nice to know for future library installs.

Yes. Like I said I only work on a tablet. So does Android PC install automatically? I want to give you a hint because you work with big files.Because of the fast run speed, of the apde, I run the sketch already after a few lines of code to see if there is any error. But after a lot of editing the text is showing up slower and slower.in the editor. (with big sketches) The solution I found was to copy and recopy the sketch folder out and in the sketchbook. (The tabs will rearranged alhabetically) Then everything is fine again. I already issued this on github.

Often the library does not have the files correctly structurally ordered, and apde is very critical about that. So I normally download the lib directly from github to my device. The name has to be the same as the lib. (remove master and that kind of stuff) Then I go directly to Install Compressed Library, and a list dialog will be opened where you navigate to your downloaded zip file. If it is well structured it will install. Maybe you have already read this

I tried to install SelectFile just as you explained above, and I also read the Installing Contributed Libraries Tutorial. When I selected the zip I downloaded the dialog closed and SelectFile still wasn’t installed…

Like I said. It’s the order of the files. If you verify the files you will notice this. Try this link instead.

I already tried this link, because I found it in another topic where you posted it. Didn’t work. Installing Contributed Library crashes and I get to see my code.

It works perfectly on my Lollipop and KitKat. [image] pauscha: Installing Contributed Library crashes and I get to see my code. What do you mean by that? APDE crashes when you install the library? Or it installs but your sketch crashes when running the sample code? What Android version do you use? It works perfectly on my Lollipop and KitKat. Is your device rooted? Please try to install this app of the sample sketch to see if it runs.
