Get MessageSet IDs as a Compact String

See more IMAP Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat MessageSet.ToCompactString method, which returns the unique identifiers in ascending order using compact IMAP message-set syntax, collapsing consecutive runs into inclusive ranges. It takes no arguments. This example loads 1,2,3,4,5,8,9,10 and prints the compact form 1:5,8:10.

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import com.chilkatsoft.*;

import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    boolean success = false;

    //  Demonstrates the MessageSet.ToCompactString method, which returns the unique identifiers in
    //  ascending order using compact IMAP message-set syntax, with consecutive runs collapsed into
    //  inclusive ranges.  It takes no arguments.

    CkMessageSet msgSet = new CkMessageSet();

    //  Load a set of individual identifiers.
    success = msgSet.FromCompactString("1,2,3,4,5,8,9,10");
    if (success == false) {
        Log.i(TAG, msgSet.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    //  Get the canonical compact representation.
    String compact = msgSet.toCompactString();
    Log.i(TAG, compact);
    //  Output: 1:5,8:10

  }

  static {
      System.loadLibrary("chilkat");

      // Note: If the incorrect library name is passed to System.loadLibrary,
      // then you will see the following error message at application startup:
      //"The application <your-application-name> has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
