Changing JLabel Text From Anywhere In Program

Feb 18, 2014

I'm using NetBeans.

I have a JFrame with four JPanels, SensorLL, SensorLC, SensorCR and SensorRR. They are instances of the class SensorUI. Each has a JLabel called Sensor.

The class SensorUI has a method writeSensor that writes to the JLabel "Sensor". I will have four temperature sensors. I have not started the code to read the temperature sensors yet. I will have a timer that will run once a second. When it fires I will read the sensors and display the result in the

JLabel "Sensor" in each jPanel.

I use MyMain to call FrameDemo and create the JFrame and a method

in FrameDemo to add the JPanels using addObject.

I can use SensorLL.writeSensor will write text to JLabel Sensor while in Mymain.

Then I start the timer ReadSensor.

When it times out it calls SampleSensors

For an experiment, while in SampleSensors I try to write to the JLabel in the instance SensorLL with

SensorLL.writeSensor("xx_");

I can't because it says it can't find the symbol variable SensorLL in SampleSensors class.

How can I "get to" that JLabel text when ever I need to?

Java Code:

public class MyMain {
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
//SensorUI SensorLL = null;
System.out.println("Start of main");
//Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread:
//creating and showing this application's GUI.
FrameDemo.createAndShowGUI();

[Code] .......

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Changing Text Of JLabel From Another Class

May 26, 2014

Create a dnd (dungeons and dragons) character creator and back ground generator, have it display and run on a gui, to start with i decided to creator the gui as i go so i can see the progress, first i tried eclipse and windows builder, well after 1 day of reinstalling windows builder in about 5 different ways from multiple guides and sometimes getting it to partly work ...

After doing some more research I have figured out how to get the main program to display the gui . Heres what i have:

package com.mrgreaper;
import javax.swing.*;
public class MainWindow {
private JPanel mainWindow;
private JLabel playerlbl;
private JLabel playerNamelbl;

[Code] .....

Now this works fine and the gui displays when the program is run but I can't change the text of any of the jlabels or textfield. If I try to do it in the main class i need to change them from private to public static but then in the form builder it says "cannot bind to static field *name of field*" but if i take static off then i cant change its value!

From what i understand this is because the window is an instance, so how to i change the value in that instance? I could put all my code in the one class, the one that creates the gui, but i really want it seperate, i would like the gui to update as the code runs... So how do i do it, how do i change the contents of jlabels on the fly, read the contents of text boxes on the fly etc....

I tried adding a getter setter

public void setCharFirst(JLabel charFirst) {
this.charFirst = charFirst;
}
in the MainWindow.class

Then i tried to set it from my main function

MainWindow.setCharFirst("test");

but it cant access it as my main function is static and it is not now can i make it static...

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Changing Text Of JLabel By Pressing A Button?

I don't get what I missed in the code. I used the example of changing the text of a button by clicking on it, but instead I also added a JLabel and tried to make the button change its text instead, but it didn't work. What did I do wrong?

Changing Panel In Frame Using MouseListener On JLabel

Sep 5, 2014

My program has a MainFrame(extends JFrame)class and BasePanel(extends JPanel) class,and many other panels.I had used Images with JLabel in BasePanel.My current panel in MainFrame is BasePanel.I had used MouseListener so that when I click on any of the label it should show Other panel in same MainFrame and hide the BasePanel.But I am getting some problem with that.When I click on the Label,It hides the BasePanel but do not show the new Panel(Dictionary Panel in my code). In short when label is clicked I want to make DictionaryPanel visible and BasePanel invisible,both in MainFrame. I am using the following code on Label:

//constructor of BasePanel class
public BasePanel() {
dict=new Dictionary();
mf=new MainFrame();
dictLabel.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() {
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {

How To Align Jlabel Text In Midcenter

Oct 2, 2014

The code was,

messageLabel.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);
messageLabel.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);

The text always displays in top-center part of the center panel. i want to align it as center-center horizontally and vertically. The problem could be, bcoz the jlabel text is inside a constructor but im not sure. The whole code is

private JPanel TopPanel;

Set JLabel Text After JButton Press

I have four buttons with different names and depending on which button is pressed I want to change the label to be displayed. Center is the name of the label the other directions are buttons. The label should change if a different button is pressed. The error I get is that it cannot be converted to String.

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
Object source = event.getSource();
if (source == east){
center.setText(east);
}
if (source == west){
center.setText(west);

Change Text In JLabel When Button Pressed

Dec 4, 2014

Ok, so I am trying to learn about JFrames and JPanels. I have figured out buttons, layouts, etc. What im having trouble with is accessing the label object from the ButtonHandler class since it is static and I need my JLabel to be non-static so that it can change. Basically, I want JLabel to change to a pre-determined text string once a button is pressed. Here's what I have so far

package makewindow;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

Swing/AWT/SWT :: JTextField Size Changes With JLabel Text Length

Nov 11, 2014

I want to create 3 JTextFields in a row with all being of equal size.But my first Text field gets so wide than the other two.After adding each component at a time and seeing what causes the problem I realized that if I type a long text for the JLabel that's when this problem occurs.If I reduce the length of the text in the JLabel JTextFields get into the sizes I want. Here's my code

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.lang.Math;
public class Calculator1 extends JFrame {
JTextField value1=new JTextField("0");
JTextField value2=new JTextField("0");

[Code] ....

How can I stop the JTextFields changing size when I change the JLabel label1's text length...

Changing JButton Text Outside Of GUI Class

Jun 6, 2014

So, Once again I'm attempting to make a Who Wants to Be a Millionaire GUI game. This is the actual game screen code

package WWTBAM;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
public class GUIGame extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
public static int moves = 0;
public static boolean finished = false;
public static boolean correct = true;

[Code] ....

When ever try and change the buttons text outside of the actual GUIGame constructor i can't. Like in the main method or the action listener.

The code won't work if you copy paste because it's a part of a larger package.

Personality Test Program Not Changing Array Values

Apr 1, 2014

I'm making a program for school that reads a text file with answers to a personality test and prints the temperament to an output file. Problem is, it sets the temperament for the first person to INFJ and then prints INFJ for the rest of the people too. My code is below, and the input file 'personality.txt' goes like this:

Betty Boop
BABAAAABAAAAAAABAAAABBAAAAAABAAAABABAABAAABABABAABAAAAAABAAAAAABAAAAAA
Snoopy
AABBAABBBBBABABAAAAABABBAABBAAAABBBAAABAABAABABAAAABAABBBBAAABBAABABBB
Bugs Bunny

[Code] ....

This is my Code :

public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException {
welcome();
Scanner input = new Scanner(new File("personality.txt"));
PrintStream out = new PrintStream(new File("output.txt"));
int[][] outcome = new int[4][2];
double[] percent = new double[4];

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Mini Paint Program - Changing Size Of Shapes

Jun 4, 2014

I am currently writing a small drawing program and I am having trouble with changing the size of the shapes. To do this, I have to access the arraylist shapes, check whether pressedX/pressedY is on any of the shapes in the arraylist using the findShape() method and then when released, uses moveBy() in the Rectangle/Oval/Line class and moveShape() in the miniDraw class to move the shape and draw it in the newreleasedX/releasedY position.

So far I think I have pin pointed the problem to being the method in all the shapes classes, that checks whether the pressedX/pressedY which is the on() method, and the findShape() method in the miniDraw class.

This is the minidraw class

import ecs100.*;
import java.awt.Color;

import java.util.*;

Program Prompts For A Line Of Text

Jun 2, 2014

Write a program that reads in a line of text and then outputs that line of text first in all uppercase letters and then in all lowercase letters.

INPUT and PROMPTS. The program prompts for a line of text as follows: "Enter the text: " and then reads in an entire line of text as a String .

OUTPUT . There are four lines of output . The first line is "The text in all upper case is: ". The second line is the line that was read in, displayed in all uppercase. The third line is "The text in all lower case is: " and the fourth line is the original line that was read in, displayed in all lowercase.

CLASS NAMES. Your program class should be called ShoutAndWhisper.

[import java.util.Scanner;
public class ShoutAndWhisper
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner scannerObject = new Scanner(System.in);

Program Won't Scan Properly The Text

Nov 19, 2014

I was trying to do a short program that scans a text for a given word and then tells you how many times that word was repeated in the text. The result was this:

var text = prompt("Write the text to be searched through");
var word = prompt("Write the word to be looked for. Beware of capitals!");
var hits = [];
for (var i = 0; i < text.length; i++) {
if (text[i] === word[0]) {

[Code] ....

However, this doesn't scan the text properly. I think the problem lies in one of the lines from 4 to 8, but, even after thinking quite a lot, I couldn't understand what was it. I thought that by saying that the letter of the text in position [i + k] shuold be equal to the letter of the word in position [k] I could make it work, but it doesn't.

Program Is Not Reading The Text File

Apr 29, 2014

I'm working on a project for my Java class and I've got the code compiled and running, I just don't think that the program is reading the text file the way I want it to.

The text file looks like this:

1168,4.25,10
1305,1.80,42
1345,12.56,16
1388,7.42,30
1480,6.54,80
1495,8.36,48
1560,15.27,65
...

The first number being product number, second being price, and 3rd being quantity. I want to be able to enter the product number and have the Textfields for price and quantity be filled accordingly.

But when I enter a product number (e.g., '1168') no match for the item is being found, regardless of what I enter. Really stumped on this. Here's my code so far --

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Project3
{
private static Frame myframe;
private static TextField productCode;
private static TextField invNumberField;

Unable To Set Text To A Label Multiple Times In Same Program

Aug 5, 2014

I am developing a java swing application. In which i want to set a different text to a label in same program ( in single JFrame). I dont want to use another JFrame instead i want to use setText method of java and set different text to a label at different intervals of time according to my need.

I am using java 1.7 sdk and pupy linux as OS. Below i am giving source code.

What i am doing is in constructor of class i am setting an image to JFrame and setting text "Welcom...". And when user clicks on this JFrame a method is called which will clear the text "Welcome.." and sets new text to another label "Enter...." and from there another method is called and it clears label "Enter..." and sets a text "Plzz wait..". and yet there are more methods, i havnt provided here.

But what is happening is it shows welcome text and then directly Plzz wait..

Its not showing text Enter... because control is finished after last method gets executed.

My concern is i want to show all the setText (my messages) in a sequence. Without using another JFrame. There is no any user input other than user will click on first welcome page.

public class BackgroundFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame {

JLabel setTitle1;
JLabel setTitle2;
JLabel setTitle3;
JLabel setTitle4;

Java Program That Reads Array From Text File

Mar 19, 2015

I was wondering if it's possible to do this: I want to build a java program that reads a java array from a text file.

Then I want to read it, and output it in a different format.

The reading and out is easy - as text.

But how can I incorporate the read text in to a java valid array in my program, which I can use?

Is this even possible?

How To Get Program To Perform Tasks Listed In Text File

Feb 12, 2015

This has three different classes in a package and the program itself is supposed to read and perform operations obtained from a txt file. However, I'm not even sure how to get it to perform the operations from the text file. I know that it can read the file as I was able to get the program to print the text found in the file when I ran the program with a test print to make sure that all content was being read. However, I am clueless when it comes to how to get the program to look at the text as commands.

Here is the piece of code that I am not sure where to go from as far as telling the program to read the text and perform the tasks listed.

public static void doTVoperations(){
File operations = new File("operations.txt");
if(operations.exists())
try{
Scanner n = new Scanner(operations);
while(n.hasNext()){
String readOperations = n.nextLine();
String [] command = readOperations.split("[
]");
}
n.close();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e){
System.out.print("Error...TV in need of repair!");
}
