Combining JMenuItem And KeyListener

Jun 9, 2014

I have a JMenuItem "Find" in the Edit Menu. I want to add a shortcut key to the JMenuItem.

For Find for example i want to use Ctrl + F

Here is my 'Action' for 'Find' which can be used via Edit->Find. It works.

Find = new AbstractAction(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){ 
String word = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(new MainWindow(),"","Find",PLAIN_MESSAGE);
new WordSearcher(textArea,word);
}
};

WordSearcher() is a class i am using to search the word

Now i want to add a KeyListener for ctrl+F, for doing the same purpose. Even this one works.

private KeyListener k1 = new KeyAdapter()
{
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
{
if(e.isControlDown())

if(e.getKeyCode()== KeyEvent.VK_F)

[Code] ....

But the problem here is i have to write the same code twice. Is there some way by which I can Use the already written Action Find in the KeyListener.

Combining Characters Into A String

Sep 10, 2014

So what my program is supposed to do is take a number inputted by the use and then take a phrase. It then changes that phrases letter by the number inputted prior for example if you type in 2 as your int and Hello as your phrase you should get JGNNQ, which i can do. but the problem is that when i run it, it outputs like this:

J
G
N
N
Q

As separate characters how can I combine those characters in 1 string so it looks like JGNNQ? this is my code

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Dcod_MAin {
private static final Object[] String = null;
public static void main(String[] args){
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println("What is the day of the month");
int shift;

[Code] ....

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Combining Two JFrames Into One JFrame?

Mar 20, 2014

All I need to do is show in just one JFrame the two combined JFrames. One JFrame namely leftPanel will appear to the left or west and the other namely rightPanel to the right or east using BorderLayout. I already did creating them first as JPanels or as internal classes and subsetted them in one JFrame but that didn't work because it looked messy. And now I've created them as two separate JFrames, compiled separately, and tried to subset them as one in the JFrame. I didn't add any functionality to this program because all I intend to do is to show those two JFrames together in one JFrame. Here's the code:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class dirtyIceCream extends JFrame {
leftPanel westPanel;
rightPanel eastPanel;
public dirtyIceCream()

[code].....

What am I missing or did I code anything wrong here? Or should I use NetBeans IDE for anything as complicated as this?

Combining Switch Statements To If / Else Decisions

Mar 8, 2014

Combining switch statements into if...else decisions? I'm basically trying to teach myself java and am at the point where I have to combine two user inputted values into if...else statements, only I don't really grasp how to do so. (This stuff is soooo addictive.) I'm trying to let the user input the type of residence they have, how many hours they are usually home, and then recommend a pet based on that. I just don't get how to input both selections they make in if...then statements. I get a bunch of errors as soon as I start the if...else part.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class PetAdvice
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int houseType;
int hourHome;

Combining Multiple Uploaded Documents Into One Report

May 28, 2014

I have developed an application using Java JSP and PostgreSQL database which inputs data from users including multiple file uploads in different formats (MS Word, Excel, PDF etc.). The uploaded files are also stored in the database.

My client wants the software to print a report in PDF format which includes all user data entered (in a defined format) along with all the uploaded documents as appendices.

How the system can include all uploaded files into one PDF report?

How To Add A KeyListener

Oct 30, 2014

I'm trying to add a KeyListener, but every time i do i have to implement methods that i will not use.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
public class GameFrame extends JFrame implements KeyListener{
private GamePanel panel;
*/
public GameFrame()

[code]....

it works just concerned about the unimplemented methods.I'm supposed to make a row of images all the way across the screeen and down it unless the row contains the player. which is always at the bottom.

private void drawRow(int y, int blockWidth, int blockHeight, GameRow row, Graphics g) {
Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("blocks.png");
for(int i = rows.size()-1; i >= 0; i--) {
if(rows.get(i).isEmpty()) {
g.drawImage(img, width,y,blockWidth, blockHeight, null);
}
}
}

As of right now it will only paste on the FIRST column not the rows.

My Question is: Why will it not say "up", if I press "w"?

Keylistener In A Loop?

Another Way To Add Keylistener To JComponent?

Jan 13, 2014

I wrote this program that makes a little square move around with the wasd keys. A huge problem that I had while creating it is adding the keylistener to my JFrame. In the end, I ended up creating an anonymous KeyListener class and adding that anonymous class to the JFrame. However, this anonymous class requires two other methods that I don't use, so any other thing I could have done to add these keylisteners to the JFrame without creating an anonymous class? I had to create 4...

Java Code:

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;

[Code] .....

Add KeyListener To Thread

Feb 13, 2014

I want to try and run a thread that starts running on start and quits after pressing a key.I cant seem to detect keypresses. ci cant seem to add code: Post denied. New posts are limited by number of URLs it may contain and checked if it doesn't contain forbidden words.

its just a code snippit without links or anything..this is a small part... but how do i add a keyListener in here that listends to a random key?The class implements KeyListener and the overrided method "keyPressed" sets the isRunning boolean to false... but the keyPressed method is never executed.

public static void main(String[] args) {
Thread thread = new Thread() {
public void run() {
while(isRunning){
System.out.println("running");
try {
sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
};
thread.start();
}

How To Access Keylistener If It Is Within A Method

Feb 1, 2014

I am trying to make a program where a ball moves up continuously when you press space, then begins to move down when you reach a certain point. My method for this is to have a timer, and have a method that does this: When you press space, add 10 y coords every second (using a timer), and if you reach 470 y, then begin to drop 10 y coords. I made a method to hold the keylistener, and am running that method inside the actionPerformed method which is within another class. However, since it is a method, I cannot add my keylistener to my frame in the main method.

main
error line 9
Java Code: import javax.swing.*;
public class Main {

Accessing Keylistener From Thread

Mar 23, 2014

I start my thread, it's for a real basic game I'm learning. Everything was working fine, until I got to recognizing keys. It runs, and I can close using the mouse on the close command, but the keys aren't being generated from the keyboard. I copied it to a working sample, and here are the two files.

package testkeys;
import java.awt.Canvas;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.awt.image.DataBufferInt;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

[Code] ....

The idea was to set the return value to true if any key is pressed, thus quitting, for this short sample program. Problem, it never recognizes any keys pressed on the keyboard. New to java and threading.

Java Game KeyListener Not Working In FSEM

Sep 5, 2014

I had a game written in a 500x400 window using JFrame and a threaded JPanel. It used KeyListener to detect user input and worked just fine, problem was it was very click dependent and therefore I wanted to put it into fullscreen mode so I would no longer come across the problem of clicking outside the window and being taken out of the game. But when I ported the game to Full Screen Exclusive Mode the KeyListener no longer seems to be working and I have no clue why. I tried using KeyBindings as well, that code didn't work and is left commented out in the FSEM code.Here is my code for the windowed application:

import java.awt.Container;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Main extends JFrame{
private GamePanel panel;
public Main(){
panel = new GamePanel();

Creating A Keylistener That Reacts Across The Entire Application?

Aug 13, 2014

make the keylistener "listen" across the entire application? Currently whenever I've used it I have always attached it to something else, like a JTextField or the like. However that doesn't work all that well if I for example want to close down the current JDialog by pressing escape, because no object that has the keylistener attached to it is currently focused.

When I searched around for the answer if found similar questions on stackoverflow, but those seemed to focus on listening globally, even when the application itself is not focused, which isn't quite what I want.

Here is a simple piece of code that I'm currently experimenting with:

import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException;

[Code].....

It's supposed to simply create a frame and give me a message whenever I press the A or D buttons, as well as notify me whenever they are released. As of currently it obviously doesn't work because the keylistener hasn't been attached to anything, but that's also where I'm unsure of how to proceed.

KeyListener And GObject To Create BreakOut Game

May 14, 2012

I am trying to create the Breakout game and cannot figure how to get the paddle to move and make constraints to bricks disappear when the ball hits them but not the paddle. I tried this:

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent press)
{
obj = paddle;
int key = press.getKeyCode();
if(key == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT)
{
while(true)
{
paddle.move();
}
}
}

but I get an error for the "paddle.move();". Below is the entire code that I have gotten so far:

import acm.program.GraphicsProgram;
import acm.graphics.*;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.event.*;
import acm.util.RandomGenerator;
