My IDE has a visual editor for creating Swing applications. The created application windows have no layout manager and use method "setBounds()" for placing Swing components on the application window. I have built an application that uses JInternalFrame. Each JInternalFrame is a separate and different "screen" for the user to interact with.
There are around 2,000 screens in the application and new screens are constantly being added as well as existing screens being modified. As a result, the top-level container - a JFrame - is a fixed size and is not resizable. I have now been asked to increase the size of the JFrame while maintaining the proportions of the screens.
Rather than manually editing the invocations of "setBounds()" on all the screens, any alternative way to achieve this? Also, is there a way to achieve this such that if, in future, the JFrame will again be resized, the screesn will automatically adjust?
I am currently writing a chess application in Java swing. For the GUI part, I have one MainWindow class, and one ChessBoard class. The MainWindow has a main panel, in which is contained 1) a panel containing the chessboard from the chessboard class (a grid layout array of 64 JLabels), 2) a JLabel status bar, and 3) a JList to hold the moves of the game. I have a movePiece method in the chessboard class, which I would like to add the move and question to the moves list, which is contained in the main window class.
However, since JList is some special type, I can't make it static ( that gives me an error ). I also tried creating a method in the main window class to add a move to the list, which I would then access via the chessboard class. However, I can't make the method static, because it is referencing a non-static variable ( the JList ), and since the Main window class already has an object of the chessboard class, trying to create a main window object in the chessboard class creates a stack overflow error.
So I'm doing a basic MVC layout for a pretty basic game that I am making in order to understand the whole MVC layout. The game requires the user to move up/down/left/right via JButtons on the GUI. Since I'm using an MVC layout and my buttons are in a different class than the ActionListeners, I was wondering what the best way to add the action listeners are?
I'm trying to build a GUI that must look lik on the image above. There must be three JPanles, the one above, with buttons and combo boxes, must have fixed height and all three must have fixed vertical gaps between them. I'm trying laout after layout but somehow it's not working. I'm allowed to use only standard Swing layouts.
I like to adding a scrollbar to a jpanel with flowlayout but is imposible, i don't see the scrollbar. I've tried a thousand different ways but I have not accomplished anything.
Here is my code:
//Creamos el panel que contendra los botones de cada producto diferente package com.foolsrecords.tpv.tablaproductos.vista; //Hacemos todas las importaciones necesarias import com.foolsrecords.tpv.modelo.Producto; import com.foolsrecords.tpv.modelo.eventos.ControladorEventListener;
I have a stage,it has two layers scene, if user click the button,then change to another layer, and also can change back. It just like swing cardlayout. How can i implement cardlayout in JAVAFX?
I am writing a simple program in Java, where I call a method and pass some variables (namely, min and max) as arguments. This method is recursive, so the same arguments are again passed on in each recursive call.
I need to update these variables in recursive calls so that when the calling method uses them, it uses updated values. As it might sound confusing, here is sample code :
// Function 1. void func1() { //Call func2. func2 (int hd, int min, int max, Map<String, String> map); //Other stuff. } // Function 2.
[code]....
As you can see, min and max are updated after each recursive call returns, based on conditions. However, these changes aren't reflected in original min and max, which were used by func1 while calling func2. As far as I know, this happens due to call by value mechanism being used by Java while passing arguments. If I declare min and max as instance variables in the class, my problem is solved. But, I want to know whether there's any other way to update these variables so that changes in original min and max are reflected. Yes, I can return them as an array of 2 elements each time while returning, but it didn't seem a good solution to me.
Am trying to dynamically insert buttons (which will be presenting card in a frame) using grid layout.As shown image is getting inserted but its not fit in button.I tried Darryl's Stretch icon as well but of no support.
For example, say I have I BoxLayout with a few JButtons in it. How could I make it such that I could drag a JButton such that it could be in front or behind the others?
I've thought about using ComponentMover and just switching to a null layout right before moving it and switch it back right after like bellow, but I'm not sure how to make it keep the change in order.
import java.awt.LayoutManager; import java.awt.event.MouseEvent; public class LayoutComponentMover extends ComponentMover { private LayoutManager layout;
I am making an expert system using Jess about animals. I wanted to make an interface using Swing and so I did. I have a problem using group layouts. The application works fine but at the end a exceptions is thrown:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalStateException: javax.swing.JLabel[,0,0,0x0,invalid,alignmentX=0.0, alignmentY=0.0,border=,flags=8388608,maximumSize=,minimumSize=, preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,horizontalAlignment=LEADING, horizontalTextPosition=TRAILING,iconTextGap=4,labelFor=, text=The animal is a cheetah.,verticalAlignment=CENTER, verticalTextPosition=CENTER] is not attached to a horizontal group
[Code] ....
The application ask the user some questions about the animal. When the expert system has enough information to know the animal it tells the name of the animal and shows a picture of it. The exception is thrown when the application has guessed the animal and shows the response.
I have quite a specific view for how I want my components layed out. No matter what I try I can get them to display how I want! I'm using three JPanels. There's a main panel that goes inside the tabbed pane. This main panel contains two other panels. The First panel is a gridbaglayout panel, with labels on the left column, and components on the right column. The second panel is underneath the second, and contains a label, and a button beneath it. THis uses a basic box layout, with one component per line. The label doesn't always appear (depends if a component is changed). With everything showing, this is how it looks so far:
However, I want the Labels on the left of the pane. The right hand column should be aligned horizontally and have more space from the labels. Ideally I'd like a gap between the last label/checkbox and the Note label.
This is my current code for the panel/s inside the tabbed pane window.
videoPanel = new JPanel(); applyVidBtn = new JButton("Apply Settings"); applyVidBtn.setVisible(false); warningLbl = new JLabel("Note. Applying these settings causes a program restart."); warningLbl.setVisible(false);
The getGraphics() method in my constructor is returning a nullPointerException and I can't figure out why. This class is extending a JPanel and I thought calling super() would fix it because it makes sense that the JPanel would initialize its graphics object in the constructor, but that didn't fix it. The line that produces the error is in bold. I've narrowed it down to the getGraphics() method is returning null, so the next line that calls the graphics object is actually the one that produces the error.
int leftMargin = 2, rightMargin = 2, topMargin = 2, bottomMargin = 2; int lineSpacing = 1; int currentX = leftMargin, currentY = topMargin; Font defaultFont, customFont; public HTMLFrame(){ super();
[Code] ....
print(String) is a method I made that draws lines of text on the graphics object, similar to System.out.println(String) in the command prompt.
I am trying to export data from a jtable to a pdf report but every time i try running the code it gives me this exception:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException at GUI.QC_receiving_book.printButtonActionPerformed(QC_receiving_book.java:309) at GUI.QC_receiving_book.access$600(QC_receiving_book.java:26) at GUI.QC_receiving_book$7.actionPerformed(QC_receiving_book.java:165) at javax.swing.AbstractButton.fireActionPerformed(AbstractButton.java:2018)
[Code] ....
I tried avoiding the null exception by using the if statement but it didn't work. The row I choose from the table is full meaning there are no empty attributes. and all the data are imported from a mysql database to the table as String so there can't be any casting errors.
This is the part of the source code with the problem and i will also post the printing method. I tried debugging the class and when stepping into the first if statement it opened the jTable.java file and pointed at the getSelectedRow() method and this sentence "variable information not available.source compiled without -g option"
private void printButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) { if(samplesTable.getSelectedRow() >= 0){ int row = samplesTable.getSelectedRow(); System.out.println(row); for(int x=0;x<samplesTable.getColumnCount();x++){ String value = samplesTable.getModel().getValueAt(row, x).toString();
public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { Car c = new Car(); c.setInf("toyota", "red"); System.out.println("name: "+ c.brand + " colour: " + c.colour);
[code]....
Why do I get the result brand null, colour null? I know what null means but what am I missing here?
I am using netbeans 7.2, glassfish 3.1.2, JSF 2.1 and Primefaces 3.2. When I add more than three menu tabs, I get this error ui layout initialization error the center-pane element does not exist the center-pane is a required element. This is my template.xhtml code:

I'm making a Pacman look-a-like game, now I'm making the map out of an 2D array (as a grid). I already initialized the 2d array spots with "0" and "1". I managed to do this but now I'm stuck.
I want to use the "0" and "1" to print the map. For example the "0" are grass and the "1" are walls. The map should be printed within a JFrame. And I would like to make the width and height 32x32 pixels.
I searched on the internet and i found a couple of example codes but non of it seems to work properly. This is the code I'm using to make the 2D array and initialize the spots.:
public class Level1 extends javax.swing.JFrame{ final int ROWS = 17; final int COLS = 17; int[][] field = new int[ROWS][COLS]; public Level1() { initComponents(); setLocationRelativeTo(null);
So I'm doing a basic MVC layout for a pretty basic game that I am making in order to understand the whole MVC layout. The game requires the user to move up/down/left/right via JButtons on the GUI. Since I'm using an MVC layout and my buttons are in a different class than the ActionListeners, I was wondering what the best way to add the action listeners are?
Method 1:
View Class ActionListener method: Java Code: public void addMovementListeners(ActionListener u, ActionListener d, ActionListener l, ActionListener r){ moveUp.addActionListener(u); moveDown.addActionListener(d); moveLeft.addActionListener(l); moveRight.addActionListener(r);
[Code] ....
Which method is better? Is there another method that is even better than these two? Trying to get this MVC thing down.
I am making a basic calculator using SWING.I want my JTextField to stretch across the top, above my buttons. All I can seem to get is it be the same size as one of my buttons.
How to implement GridLayout. In my applet, I want to make a grid of 2 rows and 2 columns. In each grid I want to add a Label and a TextField. I want the background to be red.
So my code would be?
import java.awt.*; import java.applet.*; import java.awt.event.*; public class GridLayoutApplet extends Applet implements ActionListener{ // construct components Label fNameLabel = new Label("First Name"); TextField fNameField = new TextField(20);
[Code] .....
I have read about panels and frames but, it is all confusing to me. How can you add a label and a TextField to one square of the grid?
I'm just trying to do a simple JFrame class, with standard menubars, labels, buttons, etc. So far, it looks really bad. The only way I can get it to look somewhat decent is if I pack it, but then the GUI is too thin. When I resize it manually, I can get the correct position by sizing it to something specific, but it obviously changes when resized again, and I don't want to set dimensions, if my users are just going to resize it, and mess it up. I want the labels on the left, textboxes neatly to the right of them, and the button somewhere on the bottom.
I also want to dynamically create a new label, textbox and button when they click on "Write File" from the menu bar - I assume this is just done with action listener, but I have enough problems as it is with formatting my layout, that I don't even want to start on it!
