How To Make A Scrolling Background In Java

Nov 1, 2014

i am trying to make a platform game in java and to do this im trying to make a scrolling bacground. i can get the background image to scroll. However, i cant get the image to scroll forever, here is the code.

GamePanel class ( the jpanel )
public class GamePanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener{
static ArrayList<BackGround> store = new ArrayList<BackGround>();
public GamePanel(){
setFocusable(true);
Timer time = new Timer(5,this);
time.start();
store.add(new BackGround(0,-200));

the problem i have is that i want the bacground to loop. however, once the first instance of the background is done scrolling it freezes and doesnt load anymore. here is the code for adding a new background to the list

if(store.get(a).getX() <= -950 ){
GamePanel.store.get(a).setX(-900);
GamePanel.store.add(new BackGround(-951,-200));
}

How To Make Image Background For A Window

Jun 17, 2014

I would like to learn how to add an image background to a window in java that I can put controls like buttons, textboxes, and checkboxes in front of. I already tried using a JLabel with an ImageIcon but I cannot overlay controls over the JLabel. From what I understand there are multiple ways to do this. What is the best way and how can I do it?

JavaFX 2.0 :: Make TextArea Background Gradient Fixed

Sep 27, 2014

I have a TextArea and want to set a linear-gradient as background, which works fine:
 
.text-area {
    -fx-background-color: linear-gradient(to bottom, red 0%, blue 100%);
}
 
The problem is that if the TextArea contains much text (and long scrollbars) it is nearly only red. Only if you scroll down to the bottom, it becomes blue.
 
I want the red-blue gradient always look the same, no matter how much text there is.
 
In HTML there's something like background-attachment: fixed, which would do the trick, but not so in JavaFX.
 
Can I achieve it nonetheless. Preferably without any ugly workarounds, like a transparent TextArea within another Pane where the wrapping Pane has the gradient.

Java Scrolling Game - Restarting Program

Apr 7, 2015

what I want to be able to do is when the game is over a dialogue box pops up and asks if the user wants to play again and if the user clicks "Yes," then I want to restart the program. I have it to where it recalls my method to play the game which opens the program again, but it doesn't close the old window.

Is there a way to restart the program without the new window popping up? If not, how do I close the old window? Also, how to default the window to being maximized? It makes it easier to see the character and objects on the screen.

Java Scrolling Game - Moving Image When Key Is Pressed

Mar 19, 2015

Okay, gotta be able to move the image when a key is pressed. When I test it, the image moves, but leaves the old image behind.

package Game;
import java.awt.Component;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
 public class Game
{
private Grid grid; //holds the grid used to store and display images
private int userRow; //keep track of which row the user-controlled image appears in
private int msElapsed; //keep track of the total amount of milliseconds that have elapsed since the start of the game

[Code] ....

Here is what I was given on instructions:

Complete the handleKeyPress method. Write the following line of code in the handleKeyPress method to check for a key press:

int key = grid.checkLastKeyPressed();

If the user pressed the up arrow (key == 38), move the user's image up one row (unless the user is already in the top row). Likewise, if the user pressed the down arrow (key == 40), move the user's image down one row (unless the user is already in the bottom row). Either way, make sure to update userRow.

Movement of the image can be accomplished by changing the value of userRow. Study how the initial image is displayed in the game constructor, then

Set the current image location to null

Update userRow to the new location and,

Set the image in the new value of userRow.

You should be able to move the user image up and down, and you should be prevented from moving the image off the screen.

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Java Stop JScrollPane Auto Scrolling Back To The Top When JTextArea Updated

Feb 7, 2014

I have a swing application that gets football scores from a website using Jsoup.

When the "Get Scores" button is pressed, the scores are printed to a JTextArea with a JScrollPane.

I have also used a SwingWorker to update the scores every couple of seconds.

My problem is that every time the JTextArea updates, the JScrollPane scrolls back to the top of the text area. I wan the scroll bar to stay where the user left it.

Here is my code (The update is currently set to update every 1 second so you can see what the scroll bar is like).

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;
import org.jsoup.select.Elements;
public class frame extends JFrame {

Java Applet - Background Color Is Not Being Set

Nov 23, 2014

I am trying to go about making this applet a bit different then normal. The issue I am having is it is drawing an applet but, not the right dimensions, it's able to be resized, lastly the background color is not being set. I mean, I suppose I could call paint() and just draw it out but, I read that I could make the applet pop out to the dimensions I would like. None of this is working sadly.

package com.powder.game;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.lang.Math;

[code]...

my exact question is can I rewrite the applet to make a pop out window and should I just call paint()?

2D Side Scroller Moving Background In Java

Jan 18, 2014

I have been following a 2d side scroller tutorial in java and have got the basics working, I changed the code a bit to make it so that the tiles and background are always moving, this worked as i intended.Within the character class:

if (speedX < 0) {
centerX += speedX;
}
if (speedX == 0 || speedX < 0) {
bg1.setSpeedX(0);
bg2.setSpeedX(0);
 
[code]....

I wanted a way to make it so that if the character moves left, the tiles + background move slower. I am having issues with variable scope and setters/getters. Within the main game class, I have the code:

case
KeyEvent.VK_LEFT:
character.moveLeft();
character.setMovingLeft(true);
break;

How can i include an if statement within the tile class that reads whether the character is moving left (determined from a keyPressed event in the main game class) and adjusts the speed of the tiles accordingly?I want to write something to the effect of:

if (setMovingLeft = true){
speedX = bg.getSpeedX() * 3;
tileX = tileX + speedX - 1; << changed from - 4

Scrolling In Panel Won't Work

Oct 9, 2014

I've got a panel which an arbitrary number of text fields may be added to at run time. I've got it set up so that the window's height, and the height of the panel in which the fields appear will never exceed the height of the screen.What I don't have is a way to make the panel scroll to access the fields that are being visually truncated. I'm setting the autoscrolls on the panel to true, but when I run the program, the fields are simply truncated.

pnlDeclensions.setAutoscrolls(true);

JTable Not Scrolling With Scrollpane

Apr 20, 2015

I am making a table that is dynamically made but it isn't working with scroll bars. The scroll bars show but don't work. Here is the code:

pList.add(pListl);
tabbedPane.addTab("Player List",pList);
tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(0,KeyEvent.VK_1);

Yes I am spamming entries into the result object, this is so I can test the scrolling as right now I don't have enough data for overflowing entries but will do soon.

Swing/AWT/SWT :: JScrollPane Getting Full But Not Scrolling?

Swing/AWT/SWT :: JScrollPane Programmatic Scrolling

May 24, 2014

I have Implemented a user control / component that allows zooming in and out of a displayed BufferedImage, for discussion's sake, 3rd party libraries are excluded and everything must be from scratch.I have an image rendered on a JPanel, the JPanel is contained within a scrollbar.

Zooming inout etc works perfectly.The Scrollbars are rendered correctly on Zoom In and disappear when I zoom out.I want to add the functionality of focusing on a specific quarter of the displayed image via four dedicated buttons, each send an int (1-4) to a method, that controls the scrollbars.

public void zoomToQuarter(int i)
{
double width = (currentBufferedImage.getWidth()*2.2)+1;
double height = (currentBufferedImage.getHeight()*2.2)+1;
JScrollBar vertical = scrollPane.getVerticalScrollBar();
JScrollBar horizontal = scrollPane.getHorizontalScrollBar();
horizontal.setMaximum((int)width);
vertical.setMaximum((int)height);

[code]....

And resizes the image whilst scrolling the scrollbars accordingly,The method works as expected, and the scrollbars go to the desired location, But there's a catch:The first click on any of the above buttons does not work, but from the second click and on, everything works great!

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Tandem Scrolling Of JTables

Jun 14, 2014

I would like to have one horizontal scrollbar control the scrolling of two JScrollPane objects (each of which contains a JTable with similar models). The line of code that I hoped would give me what I want is this:

spUpper.setHorizontalScrollBar(spLower.getHorizontalScrollBar());

It does exactly what I want, except that the scrollbar appears on-screen in the spUpper JScrollPane, while the spLower JScrollPane no longer displays a scrollbar at all. That's the opposite of what I expected. Apparently, spUpper's setHorizontalScrollBar is "stealing" spLower's scrollbar.

An alternative is just to have each scrollbar use the same model, like this:

spUpper.getHorizontalScrollBar().setModel(spLower.getHorizontalScrollBar().getModel());

This links the two scrollbars such that either will control both JScrollPanes (and also the other scrollbar), but it leaves them both visible, which is not what I want. I would have thought this line would make one of them invisible:

spUpper.getHorizontalScrollBar().setVisible(false);

However, it seems to have no effect.

The full code using the first approach is below. My questions are these:

Am I correct that setHorizontalScrollBar not only sets which JScrollBar will control a JScrollPane, but also determines where it appears on the screen?If so, what happens to the original JScrollBar? Is it replaced or am I drawing one on top of the other (or something else)?Why doesn't setVisible(false) make the scrollbar disappear (and how can I do that)?

package tandemtables;
public class Main extends javax.swing.JFrame
{
public Main()

Scrolling Panel - Making A Sprite Jump

Apr 6, 2014

I am currently making a platformer game which involves a scrolling panel and a sprite. My intention is for the sprite to be able to jump. My code for the frame that the scrolling panel sits on looks like this:

package Main;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
 
[Code] ....

Currently I have the sprite (jumpMan) displayed on the JumpPanel. This is where I have a key listener that intends to control the jumping of the sprite by incrementally moving the sprite through the space to simulate jumping slightly more accurately. The JumpPanel is laid on top of a panel called the GamePanel which sits between the main frame and the JumpPanel. I currently have a timer on the main frame which is firing off the action listener every 5ms.

My hope was that the action performed would repaint at intervals so that the you would be able to see the sprite at different stages of the jump and then as it descends as well. However when I try to make the sprite jump nothing happens, nothing changes on the screen - when I debug through I can see the code going into both the keyPressed and actionPerformed methods but this doesn't seem to do anything.

JSF :: Primefaces Sorting Not Working Properly With Live Scrolling

Dec 15, 2013

I have datatable with live scrolling enabled.The columns are not getting sorted fully.When one of the columns is sorted,for example "insured" in the image shown below, all the records seem to have sorted but when i reach the end of scroll and next set of records get loaded i see other records in unsorted order as indicated in the image ,when i try to see the column in descending order.So because of this i am not getting the sorting feature accurately done(All records are not getting sorted at a single stretch)

My JSF code snippet

<p:dataTable id="workSpaceList" var="data"
value="#{workSpaceBean.lazylpId}" widgetVar="multiSelection"
selection="#{workSpaceBean.selectedRows}" resizableColumns="true"
liveScroll="true" scrollRows="15" scrollWidth="100%"

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Drawings In JPanel Disappears After Scrolling Scrollpane

Jan 15, 2014

I am having problems trying to get my jPanel to display my drawings properly after scrolling. (My drawings is done using by overriding the paint() method as the paintComponent() method does not work in my case.) My jPanel is component of my JScrollpane, and my JScrollpane is part of my jFrame.

The organization of components is: JFrame <-- JScrollPane <-- JPanel ( <-- means added to).

Situation: My drawings did appear when the frame becomes start, but when I start scrolling the scrollbar in any direction, it starts to eat up my drawing leaving only part of drawing which is not affected by scrolling.

I want my jpanel to display the drawing properly even after scrolling in both vertical and horizontal directions. I did use revalidate and repaint methods in my method for start of the JFrame.

Some Ways which I have tried:

1) I have tried adding this.revalidate() and this.repaint() method to the paint() method which did retains the image, but the jPanel keeps blinking on my screen which is trying attempt to update the drawing in a recursive manner.

2) I have tried panel.repaint() and panel.revalidate() in my paint() method, but it did not display my drawing.

3) I have read from other sources that I needed a listener to do it, but I am not sure how it works.

// Code Use for Listener
jScrollPane1.getViewport().addChangeListener(new ListenAdditionsScrolled());
public class ListenAdditionsScrolled implements ChangeListener {
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
jPanel3.revalidate();
jPanel3.repaint();
}
}

JScrollPane Component Not Scrolling Objects Inside JPanel

Feb 7, 2014

I am trying to place a number of JLabel and JTextField objects inside a JPanel which has a JScrollPane.

One thing is, that at one time, I have have a certain number of JLabel and JTextField objects which number would cover an area greater than the JPanel's vertical size.

How when I implement the JScrollPane and I run the program, the scroll bars appear, but they don't scroll the pane inside the JPanel, the items are fixed.

Could the problem be because I am using a Null Layout.

Will I have to use one of the standard layouts available, like GridLayout for the JScrollPane scrolling function to work?

JSF :: Primefaces Live Scrolling Taking Long Time With Large Dataset

Feb 21, 2014

I have a primefaces datatable with about 52000 records to be fetched.Since it is a large dataset,i tried using live scrolling feature of primefaces with scroll rows equal to 20.THe number of columns is 53.The table also has filtering and sorting feature on its each column.Still i am not satisfied with the performance of the table.It takes about 15 secs for the page to load,worst thing is that it takes about 65 secs for the next set of 20 records to be loaded on reaching the end of scrolling.

Just for testing i reduced the total number of records to 25000 and the preformance improves with scroll time of 29 secs.I am really not able to understand why it is taking this much time when i am displaying only 20 records at a time.The total number of records should not have affected the performance.

My JSF code snippet

<p:dataTable id="arcRecList" var="data"
value="#{archivedRecordBean.archiveItems}"
tableStyle="table-layout:auto; width:80%;" styleClass="datatable"
scrollable="true" scrollWidth="84%" scrollHeight="69%"
columnClasses="columnwidth" liveScroll="true" scrollRows="20"
filteredValue="#{archivedRecordBean.filteredArchiveItems}">

Make A Calculator Using Java GUI

Jul 29, 2014

I am trying to make a calculator using Java GUI. I've managed to make an ActionListener and add it to a button, but I've made an error in my code that I'm unsure of how to solve. Because of how I've written the code, only one number can be placed in the text field. For example, the an ActionListener for the three button on the calculator was added to the button, but no matter how many times the user presses the button, only one 3 will appear in the text field. The code is below:

import javax.swing.*;//import the packages needed for gui
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Calculator {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame window = new JFrame("Window");//makes a JFrame
window.setSize(300,350);

[code].....

As you can see, because the compiler forces the String variable to be final, so when the user presses the button, the code simply shows how a space character and three character would look like, because the String variable can't change. How do I write my code so that every time the user presses the button, a character is added to the text field?
