Here is an example of a GUI. Is it possible to make this kind of a thing using Java Swing? Is it possible to have a picture on the entire background of the JFrame, and then other Swing components like buttons, labels etc. sitting on it?Is it possible to have action listeners behind pictures? In other words, they will behave like buttons: the user clicks on them and they do something.

View Replies View RelatedIs it a good idea to use the factory design pattern for say if I needed to create four different JDialogs for the same parent frame?
factory design interface
package client;
public interface Dialog {
void getInstanceOf ();
void initComponents ();
}
One of the four JDialog class would look something like this without the comments.
package client;
import javax.swing.JDialog;
@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class AddCustomerDialog extends JDialog implements Dialog{
public AddCustomerDialog () {
//Some stuff goes here to set the settings for JDialog instance

Of course you would have your factory class

I have to create a Swing application for which i haved a set of requirements as,
1. there will be two JPanels ,left and right, on the main JFrame , left frame would contain a JTextField and a submit JButton ,user can enter values 1,2,3 ,in the JTextField and presses the JButton
a. if user enters 1, a JTextField will be shown on right JPanel
b. if user enters 2, a JTextField and a JRadioButton will be shown on right JPanel
c. if user enters 3, a JTextField and a JComboBox will be shown on right JPanel
So I have done that but when my boss sees the code behind this application he told me to make it more extensible i.e. if there is going to be an additional requirement for values 4 or 5 or 6 and so on , then i have to make minimal changes in my code or no change in my code and it should work . how this can be done ? is it possible make such software design ?
public class DesktopApp extends JFrame {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(DesktopApp.class);
private JPanel jp, jp2, mainPanel;
private JLabel jl, jl1, jl2, jl3, jl4, jl5;
private JTextField jText, jText2, jText3, jText4;
[Code] ....
What wrong am i doing here in this code which in not considered to be an extensible design ?
it may reflect some of those changes that happened after you created the iterator but there is no guarantee. I think the state changes that take place after you start iterating are never reflected. But these are implementation details. As such we know that iterating through a ConcurrentHashMap may not give us the most recent updates that happened to the Map ( the ones that happened after we created the iterator ). We would use it if we either don't care about missing some of the updates or if we know that such updates are not likely and we want maximum concurrency in that kind of a setting.
This isn't the case with the iterator returned by a LinkedHashMap or a synchronized view of a LinkedHashMap.There are some small but significant incorrect things I have said in my response. Here is a better response.It may reflect some of those structural changes that happened after you created the iterator but there is no guarantee. I think the state changes that take place after you start iterating are never reflected. But these are implementation details. (This is an just an untested observation. Not even an implementation detail. As such we know that iterating through a ConcurrentHashMap may not give us the most recent structural updates that happened to the Map ( the ones that happened after we created the iterator ). We would use it if we either don't care about missing some of the structural updates or if we know that such updates are not likely and we want maximum concurrency in that kind of a setting.
I've since been looking at the new TableView class made available via JavaFX from this Oracle tutorial here. It looks like I can do the following:
1) Create a POJO class that contains the columns as properties of the class. Each object of the class represents a row.
2) Create a TableView class that contains a list of the new POJO class from 1) above. Any insertion of additional POJO class from 1) represents a new row inserted into the TableView class and this gets reflected immediately and automagically on the JavaFX GUI.
This is all great! But how do I do the following:
1) Access a specific cell in the table via a row name and col name?
2) Return all cells in a column as an array, by specifying the col name?
3) Have more than one GUI data binded to this TableView?
4) Specify the POJO class dynamically at run time? If I want to create an interface (say a web service) that allows someone to add columns, remove columns, etc at run time and this needs to be reflected both internally in memory and externally on all the connected GUIs?
we have been given a scenario to design a system in which we have to make the class diasgrams. however we have to use appropriate patterns that match the scenario.

I've looked over the concepts of Java programming, tested them in code and i understand most of them. I have a problem when i need to make harder programs , this might be because i dont know design patterns and algorithms.I'm curious what a entry level programmer needs to know to get a job in the field. Right now i was thinking i need to know:
1. The way all big concepts work and most of the keywords.
2. Design patterns.
3. Algorithms.
what i actually need to know for an entry level job and can you tell me which design patterns and algorithms are a must know for that first job. Considering i might have financial problems in the near future this is not a theoretical question, i really need to know what i need to learn in the next 2-3 months to get an entry level job down.
The idea I'd like to present, concerns the correction of "designer" drawings - those done by the design consultants - against "site/construction" drawings - them being used on site by the workers to build the project itself.
This is normally a laborious process, involving being sat at a desk with two large folders, checking each detail and measurement against the design drawing.What I'd like to present is an idea, where the co-ordinates of the design or "mother" drawing, are transferred into a usable Java program, and they could be then used to ensure correct dimensions have been applied by the the sub-contractors in their "construction" drawings.Like I said, this can normally be a process of days for a site engineer to check - process known as "QA, quality assurance".
Basically, I just need to make a presentation of having a genuine interest in Software Design and Development. It could be applied in a range of areas in terms of construction site application - checking drawings, writing up work orders, dig orders etc - but the principle of having the co-ordinates of the mother or "design" drawing scanned into an array in Java as a means to output those site drawings/orders etc, applies to each potential application.
So - in short - and not looking for crystal clear detail, just general pointers - what programs or methods could transfer a plethora of co-ordinates from a design program like Auto-Cad, to a Java program, where I assume I would then be using a program containing a complex series of loops to ensure the correctness of the derived "construction" drawings; derived from the "mother" or designer drawings, that is.

What is the best practive for doing this? I tried several things without success.
When I click on a row in a JTable, I want to have a row appear above it. For now I'm just making that row be a duplicate of the row I clicked on, but eventually this will be some sort of previous history of that row, so as you are editing the row you actually clicked on you can look directly above it and see what the data used to look like.
I"m not having any problem creating the row, nor am I having an issue getting it positioned correctly. What I want to do with this added row is made it so you can't edit the entire row, and also really make this row stand out. I'd like to say make this row stand out or "POP" so to speak so there is no confusing what it is. I'd almost like to make it look like the row header or even better... Most of what I am seeing are ways to make particular cells uneditable, so I think my backup plan is that, but Is there a good way to do what I described?
I'm having a hard time finding out the way to make JTextField editable. In what circumstances it can be disabled to write? [even the text in the field can't be selected, not to mention being uneditable. I did the followings to make it editable.
1. In its Properties panel(frame or whatever), checked the "editable" item.
2. In the code I made it run the code below :
void makeFieldsEditable(Boolean flag) {
Left_Name_field.setEditable(flag);
Left_Name_field.setEnabled(flag);
...
}
Is it related with the properties of the control(JTextField)'s surrounding panel, or even the largest containing frame? Using Netbeans ....

This is a part of my program. When the user enters "Exam Schedule" in the JtextField and clicks the add button I want the link to change to a link that opens a local pdf file. And if the user enters "Academic Calendar" the Jlabel will be set to another link. So far this works fine but the problem is that if you erase the textfield and enter another value the link of the previous value will still be there.

if (text.getText().equalsIgnoreCase("Exam Schedule")){

The problem is that I populate the table with autoincrement primary key. I don't want it to be visible. I have been googling for hours to find no solution. It seems that sql/mysql provides no solution by selecting all table columns except one. So I wonder, how I could overcome this problem. Here is some of my code:
public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent e) {
int row = e.getFirstRow();
int col = e.getColumn();
model = (MyTableModel) e.getSource();
String stulpPav = model.getColumnName(col);
Object data = model.getValueAt(row, col);
[Code] .....
The ID is used in
stmt.addBatch("update finance.fin set " + stulpPav + " = " + duom
+ " where ID = " + studId + ";");
I tried to omit ID from my SELECT statement, I tried to put Date as a first element in data[iEil][0] but neither options were successful. Data hasn't been changed in database. NOW, everything works fine, except I don't want ID column to be visible in my table.
