Greetings to all passionate programmers here...I have a question; but i know after your replies it will be clear to me.. Do i have to type all words and their meanings manually into sqlitedatabase in order to create an offline dictionary app?because i know that will be very stressfull.Thanks as you help me out.

Write the words, in a text file, then use stream reader to read thru and print the results in a text space.

That is to say, you need a jFrame with a text box and a text area (JTextFeild,JTextArea) then button (JButton) then extend the activity then use stream reader to read from the text field and show results in JTEXTAREA.

Are u doing this on java or xamarin.

Ok. Follow as I told you,then create a match against each word. If the word exists, then it should show what you have in the text file.

Thanks alot..

U welcome, alternatively if you want a single file, make it a private string

Private string word [] ={....} ;

Then meaning

Private String meaning [] ={....};

Then match words against meaning if it finds the meaning of the word, it outputs it's meaning. I remember using this algorithm when I wrote an anti virus once.

Or to ease your complex complexities, use hash maps
