Swing/AWT/SWT :: Cannot Get ActionListener To Change JLabel Text
Apr 24, 2014
I am trying to write an application where if you click and hold down on 1 button and move the mouse to another button and release the text on the 2 buttons should be switched around.I have a print line so I can se the text are supposed to get switched around but it is just not happening in the GUI.
I attached all my code in case the flaw was to find somewhere else in the code, but the functionality I am working on is the lines 76 to 121.
import javax.swing.BoxLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
[code]....

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;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
[code]....

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.
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e){
if (e.getSource ==add) {
if (text.getText().equalsIgnoreCase("Exam Schedule")){
link1.setText(text.getText());
link1.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
[Code] .....

I'm trying to create a chess program in java swing, and for the board I'm using an 8 by 8 array of jlabels stuck inside a jpanel with a grid layout. I would like the board to change size when the window changes size, and the grid layout accomplishes this succesfully, until I add the actual icons to the jlabels. Then the board just stays a fixed size. Someone suggested I use their "Stretch Icon" class, found here:[URL] ...., so I tried initializing the icons using one of the constructors in the class (the one that takes an image name and a boolean value for whether or not you want the resisizing to be proportionate (to maintain the aspect ratio)). However, the same thing happened. The board appears, but it does not resisize. To attempt to fix this problem, I tried simplifying my code, reducing the program to two jlabels within the jpanel, for which I then tried to set the image in the same way. Here is my simplified code:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
[Code] ....
I'm misusing the stretch icon class, or just generally what's going wrong/how to fix it?

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...

why JLabel setText method is not setting up the text dynamically even though i am calling repaint() once i set the text? Code snippet is below
Locale currentLocale = new Locale(panel.getCountryLocal(), panel.getCountry());
ResourceBundle messages = ResourceBundle.getBundle(Constants.messageBundle, currentLocale);
messages = Panel.getMessages();
String displayString = messages.getString("101022");

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...

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?
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class Buttone implements ActionListener{
JLabel label;
JButton button;

I'd like to change the text on the two buttons which I have in my Dialog Box, how should I do this?
Also, when I click the X Button in the top right of the Dialog Box, nothing happens, and the program only stops when I end it in jGrasp. How do I make this button close the program when clicked on?

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();

The code was,
messageLabel = new JLabel("Top buttons change the panel color and bottom radio buttons change the text color.");
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
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ColorSample extends JFrame {
private JPanel TopPanel;

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);

I just started Java a few days ago and I'm having trouble with ActionListener..
Here are my codes so far , i'm having trouble with the
btnDetermineAction10686696_842067395825457_2521361553839739125_n.jpg:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class NumberAnalyzer extends JFrame{
private JButton btnDetermine, btnClear;
private JTextField txtNumber, txtFactors, txtPrime;
private JLabel lblNumber, lblFactors, lblPrime;
private JPanel pnlNumber, pnlNumber1,
[Code] ....
The output should be the one in the picture:
Input is placed at the NUMBER text field.
Identify its factors, write it at FACTORS text field.
Determine if it is prime. If prime, output at PRIME text field is “Yes”, “No” otherwise.

I am trying to implement user input in my dice rolling program but I do not understand where I need to add the actionListener. What I want the program to do is allow the user to click on each roll button and have the output be between 1 and 6. I figured I can put it in the "main" class due to the size of the program but I would like to know the best way to go about adding the actionListener into a sub-class for practice purposes.Here is my code thus far:
package com.jprogs;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class DiceGenerator extends JFrame {
DiceRollEvent dice = new DiceRollEvent();
// create the roll buttons
JButton roll_1 = new JButton("Roll #1");
JButton roll_2 = new JButton("Roll #2");
JButton roll_3 = new JButton("Roll #3");
JButton roll_4 = new JButton("Roll #4");
JButton roll_5 = new JButton("Roll #5");
// create output field for each roll

I was working on implementing the game Hunting the Wumpus [URL] .... for one of my projects in College. I've got the major parts of the game already implemented. I am working on creating a start screen right now. But I've run into a strange problem. In my code the main method that draws is the PaintComponent method in the private class HTWPanel. I need the Actionlistener to listen to the "QWES" keys while the state of the game is PlayState.Playing so that the user can enter the direction he's going in. If I have the following code for my paint component, the Actionlistener works fine.
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
map.draw(g, 100);
}
But when I try to add a start screen (by changing the background color and adding a label called "StartScreen"), the controller only listens to keys while the start screen is showing, not while the game is playing. I'm pretty sure this problem is due to some internal implementation of KeyAdacpter or ActionListener, but I'm not sure what.
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
if (state == PlayState.START) {
this.setBackground(Color.orange);
this.add(startScreen);
}
else if (state == PlayState.PLAYING) {
if (this.getBackground() != Color.WHITE) {this.setBackground(Color.WHITE);}
map.draw(g, 100);
}
I attached a screenshot of my main class, HuntTheWumpus, and a screenshot of what my game looks like so far. Each square is a different room in the Wumpus's lair. The black rectangles are door representing which direction you can go to. The rooms that are 2 squares or less from the wumpus are colored red. The hunter is represented by the black circle in the upper left hand square. His he can move left right up and down into different rooms with the "QWES" keys.

I was suspecting I had a jButton not working, so I added a console print to test. See below. When I click the button, the console doesn't display anything. Am I using the button wrong?
private void jButtonUpdateItemsMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
System.out.println("click");
System.out.println(drawPreviousRectangle);//this is a boolean
}
I have also tried the following with the same results (or lack of).
private void jButtonUpdateMajorDeckItemsActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
System.out.println("click");
System.out.println(drawPreviousRectangle);//this is a boolean
}

is any simple way to apply the same code on both ActionListener and MouseListener, so that the same code is executed when the user either presses a JButton or presses Enter when a JTextField is focused.I know that I can define a method, while it is not preferred as I may use break; in my MouseListener.
A simple example:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TwoListener extends JFrame
{
[code]....
Although I can define a new method that prints out the three numbers, I have to add certain break; code in different cases. So I just wonder whether there is another way to do things like this.

Are ActionPerformed and ActionListener the same?

I know that JMenu and JMenuItem is suppose to use action listeners but would you consider this implementation an exception?
menuAbout.addMouseListener (new MouseListener () {
@Override
public void mouseClicked (MouseEvent arg0) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Server Tec Software System
}
@Override
public void mouseEntered (MouseEvent arg0) { }
