c# - String equals case insensitive

Check whether two Strings are equal by case-insensitive comparison
The String represents text as a sequence of UTF-16 code units. The String is a sequential collection of characters that is used to represent text. The String is a sequential collection of System.Char objects.

The following .net c# tutorial code demonstrates how we can check whether two String instances are equal when we ignore the case while comparing the String instances. So in this .net c# tutorial code example, we will check whether two String objects have the same value or not in a case-insensitive comparison way. The .net c# developers can check the two String object’s equality by using the String Equals() method.

The String Equals() method determines whether two String objects have the same value. The String Equals(String, StringComparison) method overload determines whether this String and a specified String object have the same value. The second parameter specifies the culture, case, and sort rules used in the comparison. So using this method overload we can compare two String instance equality by ignoring the case.

The String Equals(string? value, StringComparison comparisonType) method overload has two parameters. The value parameter is the String to compare to this instance. And the comparisonType parameter is one of the enumeration values that specifies how the Strings will be compared. Here we passed StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase value for the comparisonType parameter to ignore the case while comparing two String instances.

The String Equals(String, StringComparison) method returns a Boolean value. It returns true if the value of the value parameter is the same as this String otherwise the method returns false. The method overload throws ArgumentException if the comparisonType parameter value is not a StringComparison value.

Finally, we can check whether two String instances are equal or not while comparing them in a case-insensitive way by using the String Equals(String, StringComparison) method overload.

Restricting Jetpack Compose TextField to Numeric Input Only

Jetpack Compose has revolutionized Android development with its declarative approach, enabling developers to build modern, responsive UIs more efficiently. Among the many components provided by Compose, TextField is a critical building block for user input. However, ensuring that a TextField accepts only numeric input can pose challenges, especially when considering edge cases like empty fields, invalid characters, or localization nuances. In this blog post, we'll explore how to restrict a Jetpack Compose TextField to numeric input only, discussing both basic and advanced implementations. Why Restricting Input Matters Restricting user input to numeric values is a common requirement in apps dealing with forms, payment entries, age verifications, or any data where only numbers are valid. Properly validating input at the UI level enhances user experience, reduces backend validation overhead, and minimizes errors during data processing. Compose provides the flexibility to implement ...

jetpack compose - TextField remove underline

Compose TextField Remove Underline The TextField is the text input widget of android jetpack compose library. TextField is an equivalent widget of the android view system’s EditText widget. TextField is used to enter and modify text. The following jetpack compose tutorial will demonstrate to us how we can remove (actually hide) the underline from a TextField widget in an android application. We have to apply a simple trick to remove (hide) the underline from the TextField. The TextField constructor’s ‘colors’ argument allows us to set or change colors for TextField’s various components such as text color, cursor color, label color, error color, background color, focused and unfocused indicator color, etc. Jetpack developers can pass a TextFieldDefaults.textFieldColors() function with arguments value for the TextField ‘colors’ argument. There are many arguments for this ‘TextFieldDefaults.textFieldColors()’function such as textColor, disabledTextColor, backgroundColor, cursorC...

jetpack compose - Image clickable

Compose Image Clickable The Image widget allows android developers to display an image object to the app user interface using the jetpack compose library. Android app developers can show image objects to the Image widget from various sources such as painter resources, vector resources, bitmap, etc. Image is a very essential component of the jetpack compose library. Android app developers can change many properties of an Image widget by its modifiers such as size, shape, etc. We also can specify the Image object scaling algorithm, content description, etc. But how can we set a click event to an Image widget in a jetpack compose application? There is no built-in property/parameter/argument to set up an onClick event directly to the Image widget. This android application development tutorial will demonstrate to us how we can add a click event to the Image widget and make it clickable. Click event of a widget allow app users to execute a task such as showing a toast message by cli...
