first documentation for inhalt.xml
in order to extend or edit the content of this application unpack the jar-file using any zip-archiver and edit the file inhalt.xml. Caution: the file HAS to be saved with line breaks in unix format, otherwise the application will not start anymore! at last transfer the jar-file (including the new inhalt.xml) to your phone.
hint: temporarily rename the jar-file with a .zip-ending
simple example
german version shown
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<Brian>
<Berechnungen> | root may be anything
elements without attributes or content appear in lists for navigation |
<page name="Temp" descr="Celsius/Fahrenheit"> | page defines a form for calculations
attributes: name is required, descr is an optional text for a description |
<feld name="°C" init="15" />
<feld name="°F" init="59" rund="1" /> | here 2 fields are defined
attributes: name is required, and optional:
init="15" - value shown when opening the form
edit="false" - to protect the field from user input
rund="1" - count of numbers after the comma (rounded)
format="hex" - a hexadecimal field (alternatively "bin") the values are always internally converted to decimal |
<formel val="#0*1.8+32" />
<formel val="(#1-32)*(5/9)" /> | to define the formulas of the calculation
attribute: val contains the formula (see below for operators)
there is a strictly count and order of the formulas, see below |
</page>
</Berechnungen> | (close elements) |
<Texte>
<text name="eins" descr="ein kurzer Text" image="bild.png" /> | a new element for navigation
any element that is not empty will be displayed as text (indepent of the element's name being text or not)
attributes: name is required, descr is the (optional) text, image is the file name of an optional png-image inside the jar-archive |
<text name="zwei" monospace="true" size="small">
larger texts may contain
line
breaks
that have to be right in here...</text> | another example for text
here it is placed as content of the element letting you control the line breaks. moreover there are optional styles to be choosen from:
monospace="true" - to select a monospace font
size="small" or size="large" - easy, isn't it? |
</Texte>

please note: on some Nokia phones the size of jar-Files is limited to 64kB.
about the formulas:
to use the values entered or shown in one of the fields the character # is to be used, immediateley followed by the the field's number, counting starts witch 0 for the first field, so the second field is #1
the operators of the compiler by Konstatin Knizhnik
| name | example | description |
|---|
| Assignment | x=1 | Assign value to variable. After execution of this statement, it is possible to access variables from other expressions. |
| Conditional operator | c?x:y | If value of expression left to question sign is true, than value of conditional expression is value of the expression after question sign, otherwise - value of expression after colon sign.The following conditional expression for example example is used to calculate fibonnachi numbers: fib(x)=x<2?1:fib(x-1)+fib(x-2) |
| Greater | x>y | The value of expression is true if value of left operand is greater than value of right operand. In order to kepp the xml well formed write as entity: > |
| Less | x<y | The value of expression is true if value of left operand is less than value of right operand. In order to kepp the xml well formed write as entity: < |
| Between | 1<x<5 | The value of expression is true if value of the second operand is within bounds specified by first and third operands. Use entities < to keep the xml well formed. |
| Sequence | x=1,y=2 | Sequence of expressions. Expression are evaluated in left-to-right order and result of the last expression is used. using sequences of expressions allows to write the simplest programs. |
| Addition | x+y | Sum of two operands |
| Subtraction | x-y | Difference of two operands |
| Multiplication | x*y | Multiplication of two operands |
| Division | x/y | Division of first operand on the second operand |
| Power | x^y | Raise left operand to the power specified by right operand |
| Integer part | [x] | integer part of the number |
| Floating part | {x} | Floating part of the number |
| Absolute value | |x| | Absolute value |
| Parenthesis | (x) | Expression in parenthesis |
| Sine | sin(x) | Sine |
| Cosine | cos(x) | Cosine |
| Tangent | tan(x) | Tangent |
| Arc sine | asin(x) | Arc sine |
| Arc cosine | acos(x) | Arc cosine |
| Arc tangent | atan(x) | Arc tangent |
| Exponent | exp(x) | Exponent |
| Natural Logarithm | ln(x) | Natural logarithm |
| common Logarithm | log(x) | common logarithm (base 10) |
| Ceil | ceil(x) | Smallest integer value not less than operand |
| Floor | floor(x) | greatest integer value not greater than operand |
| Square root | sqr(x) | Square root |
count and order of the formulas
the number of the formulas depends on the number of the fields (theoretically max. 9):
| fields | formulas |
|---|
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 6 |
| 4 | 12 |
| 5 | 20 |
the order is to be kept as follows:
| number of fields | formula-Nr | will be used when this field is changed by the user | and calculates the new value of field |
|---|
| 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 |
| 3 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 2 | 1 | 3 |
| 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| 3 | 4 | 2 | 3 |
| 3 | 5 | 3 | 1 |
| 3 | 6 | 3 | 2 |
and so on in case of more fields...
