string to array

[sky_JBE]

Hello,
I'm new to Java so it's a stupid question but i ask it anyway.

I want to sort 2 strings alphabetacly and like to put the two strings in one outputbox. I thought I could access the strings like I do in Delphi but it doesn't work.

Can someone please help me. This is the program:

Comment
invoer_1, invoer_2, uitvoer = TextField
bewerken = button
string_1,string_2,tijdelijk = string




public boolean action( Event e, Object o )
{
if ( e.target == invoer_1 )
{ string_1= invoer_1.getText(); }
if ( e.target == invoer_2 )
{ string_2 = invoer_2.getText() ; }
if (e.target == bewerken )
{ if (string_1 == null)
{ uitvoer.setText("String 1 niet ingevuld");}
else if (string_2 == null)
{ uitvoer.setText("String 2 niet ingevuld");}
else
{ String tijdelijk=string_1+string_2;
}
}
return false;
}


I would like to sort the string tijdelijk.

The way that I would sort the String is to first change it to a character array by using toCharArray() of the String. From there, you could just do a normal sorting algorithm just as if it were numbers...for example:

for (int i = 0; i < char.length-1; i++) {
  if char[i+1] < char[i] {
    char temp = char[i];
    char[i] = char[i+1];
    char[i+1] = temp;
  }
}

This hasn't been compiled, so it may have a few errors, possibly an off by one error...I can never get my sorting on the first try. But hope this helps.
