Question

i dont get it, how do you set the maximum length of a string?

ive been searching and going over the android docs (String.Format or Formatter) for what seems like hours and i cant get anything to work. if only those docs would give an actual example in code…
for example if i had

String value = "aaaaaaaa"

and i wanted to display

"aa"

this is what i think should work but it just crashes

String bob = String.format("%.2", value);

what do i need to do?

thank you

Answer 1

you can simply use :

String bob = value.subString(0,2);
