Swing/AWT/SWT :: How To Come Up With GUI Application Involving List Component
Feb 1, 2014
I am learning Java on my own and I am taking on very small project by myself for fun, and I'm just stuck on this small part of the project.
So I have created a text file that contains a small list of toy names and prices, like:
Barbie, 12.95
Lego, 15.99
Hot Wheels, 5.00
Power Rangers, 6.49
And what I would like is my application to read the contents of the file and store the toy names in a list component. And then I want to be able to select a toy name from the list and add it to a shopping cart that is a list component as well. I want to the application to have menu items and buttons to allow me to remove items from the shopping cart, clear the shopping cart of all selections, and check out. When I check out, the application should calculate and display the subtotal of all the toy names in the shopping cart, the sales tax (which can just be 8 percent of the subtotal), and the total.

I have a JPanel that's using a simple GridBagLayout.
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
GridBagLayout qPanelLayout = new GridBagLayout();
qPanelLayout.columnWidths = new int[] { 0 };
qPanelLayout.rowHeights = new int[] { 0 };
qPanelLayout.columnWeights = new double[] { Double.MIN_VALUE };
qPanelLayout.rowWeights = new double[] { 0.0 };
panel.setLayout(qPanelLayout);
componentCount = 0;
Based on user input I am adding sub-panels to the panel. These sub-panels may vary in height. They take up the full width of the Panel.
public void add(Component comp) {
GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
gbc.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
gbc.insets = new Insets(2,2,2,2);
gbc.gridx = 0;
gbc.gridy = componentCount++;
panel.add(comp, gbc_questionPane1);
}
The odd behaviour I'm seeing is that if the height of the new sub-panel I'm adding is less than the height of the largest sub-panel currently displayed then the main panel does not repaint. If its height is equal or greater then the Panel does repaint, and any sub-panels that were added but not visible before are now painted. What have I missed?

I have the following application scenario:
a) I have an observable list L
b) I have a thread periodically adding to L
c) I have a UI component monitoring changes in L and updating some view.
At present my thread adds to L by doing a platform.runLater. I find that a little clunky (not sure why, just seems it).
Are there any other recommended ways/petterns to keep my UI view in synch with the list, other than the above approach?

Can I add actionListener to a button component without creating a reference to it? Look at my code below:
public void init() {
setBackground(Color.red);
//Create the layout
setLayout(new BorderLayout(20, 5));
//Add buttons
add("North", new Button("Red"));
add("South", new Button("Yellow"));
add("East", new Button("Cyan"));
add("West", new Button("Magenta"));
add("Center", new Button("White"));
}
Or should I just do the usual instance.addActionListener(this) like myButton.addActionListener(this)?

I wish to use args passed to main(String[]) during application execution to a Swing component.
In a simple example, assume args passed are: a b c d
And here is the result I look for:
package argsinswing;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class ArgsInSwing {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String str1 = args[0];

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;
[code]....

My instructions are to:
1. Prompt the user to input two positive integers: firstNum and secondNum (firstNum must be smaller than secondNum).
2. Output all the even numbers between firstNum and secondNum inclusive.
3. Output the sum of all the even numbers between firstNum and secondNum inclusive.
4. Output all the odd numbers between firstNum and secondNum inclusive.
5. Output the sum of all the odd numbers between firstNum and secondNum inclusive.
*Use while loop
int firstNum, secondNum;
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter an integer: ");
firstNum = keyboard.nextInt();
[Code] ....
What to do with the while loop and how to find even and odd numbers.

public class School {
public final int MIN_GRADE = 0;
public final int MAX_GRADE = 100;
private int [] grades;
public School( int students ) {
grades = new int[students];
[Code] ....
The output is :
The numbers in the array are: 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 13 14 15
The highest grade is: 11
For some reason it is not giving me the highest number in my array. Did I write the method wrong ? Is my array even passing through HighestGrade ?

Alright so I'm trying to write a code that implements a for loop and if statements that displays any number from 100-200 if the number is divisible by either 5 or 6 in rows of ten numbers each row. If it is not divisible by that number then it should go back to the beginning of the loop until it reaches 200. My main problem is that it doesn't display anything. I don't get any errors or anything but every time I run the program it just displays nothing. Sample output is at the bottom of the code.
public class Exercise5_11 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int count = 0;
int i = 100;
//for (the numbers from 100 to 200)
for (i = 100; i>100 && i<200; i++){
[Code] ....
/*Output
100 102 105 108 110 114 115 125 126 130
132 135 138 140 144 145 155 156 160 162
165 168 170 174 175 185 186 190 192 195
198 200
*/
It is still wip of course so I was trying to just get it to display int i but it doesn't do anything and I'm not really sure why.

So I want the method getDisplayText of d to be returned as long as the for loop runs. When I do this I get a compile time error to enter a return statement. I am currently trying to fix it by returning an empty string, yet this doesn't seem the right way to go.
public static String displayMultiple(Displayable d, int count)
{
for(int i = 1; i <= count; i++)
return d.getDisplayText();
return "";
}

I'm working on a project that involves the following:
-Creating a superclass of bankaccounts
-Creating two subclasses, checkingaccount and savingaccount
-Each of the two subclasses has different methods (writeCheck for checking, for example)
-Both types are created in a main class bank and stored in the same array
So let's say a user goes through the menus and creates a few savingAccounts and a few checkingAccounts (stored in the accounts[] array). Then, to write a check from one account, the user can enter the account number (a string), and the method will use a for loop to cycle through the array until it hits an account number match. Then it checks that it's the correct account type and calls methods from the subclass.
Problem here is that some methods work and some don't. In the following example:
for (BankAccount account: accounts) {
if (account.getAccountType().equals("Checking")) {
do {
if (account.getAccountNumber().equals(accountNumber)) {
amount = Double.parseDouble(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(
[Code] .....
The getAccountNumber method works but writeCheck is throwing an error. I tried creating a method in the superclass and overriding it in the subclasses but with no success.

1. Modify the following class so that the two instance variables are private, there is a constructor that accepts both the player's name and sport and there are get and a set methods for each instance variable:
public class Player {
String name;
String sport;
}
2. You can pass an instance of this class to the JLabel constructor if you want to display text in the label.Select one:
a. myLabel
b. myText
c. String
d. JTextField
e. JLabelText
how to start making this work?cause i am not familiar with the terms here and want to complete this program and I am new to java programming?

I'm not sure if my understanding of PriorityQueues is correct, so I'm trying to check if my reasoning is valid. I'm supposed to compare the Big-O for arrays and linked lists for the following instructions:
Insert 100 objects having the priorities 1, 2, 3, ... , 99, 100
Big-O for Array: __________
Big-O for Linked List: ___________
Insert 100 objects having the priorities 100, 99, 98, ... , 2, 1
Big-O for Array: __________
Big-O for Linked List(Assume no tail reference): ___________
If my understanding is correct, priority queues take in items randomly with no particular order, but they are removed according to the priority of each element. If what I've said is true, wouldn't that mean that inserting any number of objects would be O(1) for both linked lists and arrays? If the PriorityQueue has no particular order, then wouldnt each add() simply insert something to the next array index/linked list node?

I'm writing a program for exemplary reasons that is basically two text fields, one for a username, and one for a password. the way its written is asking testing for what is inputed into the text fields if its equal to a "valid" username and password. if it is, a variable representing that is set equal to 1. there is another if statement asking if the actionevent.getsource is equal to the name of the textfield. the issue I had was that when I ran the program, it seemed to only test for the first condition, so I got the same result from the program regardless of what I input into the text field.
The Code
Main class:
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class Alpha {
public static void main(String args[]){
log l = new log();
l.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
l.setSize(360, 240);
l.setVisible(true);
[Code] .....
The code originaly was written "eve.getSource() ==" but I changed that to see if it would resolve the issue with no avail. With it written this way, the program does nothing upon entering the text and pressing enter. Currently, there is nothing written to change the variable "val" to 1 to show that the username is valid. I did this because I can't figure out how I would go about doing this.

I am writing a Java Swing GUI application on my pc. I have to give this application to my cousin with another pc, where he is not aware of programming. then how can he execute that application? are there any ways of skipping the "javac" and "java" procedures while executing the app on his computer?
I am using win7 x86 and same at my cousin's place. I am also using eclipse-kepler sr1 ide for app development.
Are there any easy ways of automating this "javac" and "java" process(compilation and execution)? something like...scripting?

I need to convert units accurately. Some of these units include angstroms (0.1nm) and astronomical units or light years. I can't seem to accurately perform these equations (probably mostly because of lack of a proper conversion formula). For example:
1 angstrom = 1.79985601 × 10^-14 leagues (or, 0.00000000000001799856 leagues).
To perform the conversion right now, I'm simply multiplying the angstroms by 0.00000000000001799856. However, inputting 55560000000000 (angstroms in one league) results in 0.9999999936. Why is this? Is it possible to work around it? I believe there's a term for the inability for a computer to process 1/3rd properly, but I can't remember what it's called - is that the problem?
I am using BigDecimals for all equations.
Edit: a mod can change the title if they think another is more fitting.

I need to put a Web Page in my JFrame application , I got a lot codes on the internet and could implement without problems , but the problem is that this code has an ugly page as hell, with colored all wrong and with a very poor quality , one of code I used was this :
* import javax.swing . ;
{ public class SwingWebPage
public static void main ( String args [ ] ) throws Exception {
JEditorPane website = new JEditorPane ( " http://www.google.com/ " ) ;
website.setEditable ( false) ;
[code]...
If you test , you'll see that the page is displayed in the JFrame is horrible.
