Swing/AWT/SWT :: Label Font Not Changing?
Feb 19, 2015
It's very simple, I've added an AWT component/control (specifically a Choice object to a Frame. It's a pop-up menu by any other name.
Above the pop-up, there's a label. I'm trying to change its font to no success.
* I create Label object called label1: Label label1 = new Label("This is a pop-up")
* I create a Font object called f: Font f = new Font("Times New Roman, Font.BOLD, 18)
* I apply the new font to the label: (in AFrame's constructor) label1,setFont(f)
When displayed the label's font seems to be stuck on Arialor something similar. Changing the point size however does have an effect.
import java.awt.Choice;
import java.awt.event.ItemEvent;
import java.awt.event.ItemListener;
/**
* Defines a 'pop-up' AWT control that will be added to AFrame.
* It extends Choice - I may need extra functionality later.
*/
public class APopUp extends Choice implements ItemListener {
// instance variables
int noi; // no of items
String selected; // item selected from choice
[Code] ....

I am having some troubles with a program fileviewer where you must be able to change font style and size when pressing JButton "Set font". I have solved the most of the program and every menu button is working but I don't know how to set in FileListener class method to change the font when running in main class. Anyway, this is my FileListener class
Java Code:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.Font;
public class FileListener implements ActionListener
[code]....

I am quite familiar with using JOptionPane and its various displayXDialog() methods and reasonably familiar with changing fonts.
I have a JOptionPane.displayMessageDialog() that is working fine but I decided to make the font larger.
I found an example from which I coded:
Font font = UIManager.getFont("OptionPane.font");
UIManager.put("OptionPane.font", new Font(font.getName(), font.getStyle(), 24));
font = UIManager.getFont("OptionPane.font");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Welcome to Mover", "About Mover", -1); // no icon
After the UIManager.getFont() call after the UIManager.put() call, font shows the new font size of 24, but the showMessageDialog() dialog still has the default font.
And yes I understand that, when this works, it will affect every JOptionPane in my program.
I also tried:
Font font = UIManager.getFont("OptionPane.font");
JOptionPane message = new JOptionPane("Welcome to Mover", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
JDialog dlg = message.createDialog("About Mover");
[Code] ....
This gave me a dialog with the default font and an unwanted icon.
So I tried
// both
Font font = UIManager.getFont("Dialog.font");
// and
Font font = UIManager.getFont("JDialog.font");
and planned to use that font in my setFont() call but font was null.

So, I have a game. I would like to make a game where you press "start" and THEN it starts. Also, I want to have collision with triangles, not just squares. The way I handle collision right now is with if statements, if the object is within the other, game over.How would I do collision with triangles? Lastly, how do I set a high score? how to change fonts and font size in swing?

I'm working on Java-GUI implementation in Ubuntu. Used font-type in the application throughout is "Arial". At earlier stage of application it was the same font-type("Arial"). As the implementation grew the font-type has been changed automatically to another font type. It seems Serif-font type.
Now I could not able to figure out the problem; why it is so.
Note- I used HTML code also for setting font style of Dialog box messages and buttons. This is the only point which I figured out. Can it is ?

I'm doing a software Java GUI - JFrame form like this:
1. The user wants to click on a button that opens a bunch of images that will be displayed as thumbnail in the bottom of the JFrame .
2. Then the user wants to select/click one of the thumbnail and make appear the corresponding image in it's original size on above(center) of the JFrame.
For doing this I used 3 JPanel.
One contains a JButton that opens the jfilechoser dialog window,
the second "panelPreview" is for putting the thumbnails created,
and the third "panelGrande" is for the image in it's original size.
The firs part "1." is ok.
But in the second part : I got one error when I want to put the ImageIcon in to the JLabel with the further intent of displaying it.
lblBig(imgIcoVett[i]);
In this project I'm dealing with arrays of ImageIcons and JLabels, so it's a bit advanced level for me, so I'm not sure that I wrote right the part of the MouseListener too.
The error displayed by netbeans says "cannot find symbol symbol: method lbl (ImageIcon) local variables referenced from an inner class must be final or effectively final"
Here I attach the project I did with netbeans"AAAD Unlayout 2.zip", but if you just need the highlight of the code, here it is too:
private javax.swing.JButton btnOpenfile;
private javax.swing.JFileChooser jFileChooser1;
private javax.swing.JPanel jPanel1;
private javax.swing.JLabel lblBig;
private javax.swing.JPanel panelGrande;
private javax.swing.JPanel panelPreview;

I'm trying to build a program which sets a fill color for a rectangle. Each time the mouse is clicked the fill color changes according to the position of the mouse's X and Y. I succeeded to create a JFrame with a changing background according to the Mouse's position, but I can't seem to change the color of the rectangle (defined in MyPanel class).
This is the current code,
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

I'm currently having trouble with a Breakout clone that I'm working on when I want to change the scenes of the game. When I start out with the main menu and I hit play, the main menu calls for the StateManager to remove the MainMenu and then to add the GameState to start playing through the levels. But, whenever this is done it just gives a NullPointerException and freezes the game. I know the code for initially starting a State is fine because that is the same way the MainMenu is loaded but there seems to be an issue with changing from one to another...
This is the StateManager class that adds and removes the States/Canvases to and from the JFrame/Main class:
package com.pathtocreating.Breakout_V2.state;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class StateManager {
private ArrayList<State> states;
[Code] ....
The code that calls the change of state in MainMenuState is called in the update method:
if(inputController.isMouseClicked("LeftClick")) {
if(playHover) {
soundManager.playSound("ButtonClick");
BreakoutMain.sm.changeStates("GameState");
[Code] ....
Here is the full stack trace when clicking the area to change states:
Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.NullPointerException
at sun.java2d.SunGraphics2D.validateColor(Unknown Source)
at sun.java2d.SunGraphics2D.<init>(Unknown Source)
at sun.awt.image.SunVolatileImage.createGraphics(Unknown Source)
[Code] ...
It gives that same value both before and after clicking on the region.
Printing out b after the State is changed to GameState gives the following:
java.awt.Component$BltSubRegionBufferStrategy@66116674
I've tried messing around with the order of which things are added/loading from the StateManager but am just failing to see what I did wrong.

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...

I want to switch panel on click of a button and code for switching panels is written in update method (Which gets called from notify observer of another class as part of Observer pattern.
unoGameController.playGame(playerFirst.getText(), playerSecond.getText());
playGame in Panel 1 of class 1 calls another class (class 2)and data comes in update method of class 1(Observer interface).
Now for switching panels code is in gameControllerDataProcessing . I am not able to switch the panels when this functionality runs.
However if i dont call the unoGameController.playGame(playerFirst.getText(), playerSecond.getText() and directly call the update method or directly write the switching panel code . then it works fine.
btnNewButton_1.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if((!(playerFirst.getText().equalsIgnoreCase("") ||playerSecond.getText().equalsIgnoreCase(""))&&(!playerFirst.getText().equalsIgnoreCase(playerSecond.getText())) ) ){
unoGameController.playGame(playerFirst.getText(), playerSecond.getText());

I am currently writing a small drawing program and I am having trouble with changing the size of the shapes. To do this, I have to access the arraylist shapes, check whether pressedX/pressedY is on any of the shapes in the arraylist using the findShape() method and then when released, uses moveBy() in the Rectangle/Oval/Line class and moveShape() in the miniDraw class to move the shape and draw it in the newreleasedX/releasedY position.
So far I think I have pin pointed the problem to being the method in all the shapes classes, that checks whether the pressedX/pressedY which is the on() method, and the findShape() method in the miniDraw class.
This is the minidraw class

I was wondering, if, for example I set font for my textarea like this:
area.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.ITALIC, 18));
Is that last parameter, in this case 18, will be actually the same size for all users? Maybe I should avoid these absolute numbers?

The Font style constants are of int: int[] fontStyleList = new int[] {Font.PLAIN, Font.BOLD, Font.ITALIC};But what do I do when I want to add the names such as PLAIN etc. as the name of a menu item?
The following is not going to work, right!String[] parts = (fontStyleList[i].toString()).split("."); or String[] parts = ("" + fontStyleList[i]).split(".");rbStyle = new JRadioButtonMenuItem(parts[1]);
Is there another way to do this or should I just do another array with the names as a String?

I wish to print the content of a JTextArea. I know I can do this with textarea.print(). However, I wish to print in a different font, font size and orientation from that of the JTextArea itself. I have been able to change the orientation by setting print attributes
PrintRequestAttributeSet printAttributes =
new javax.print.attribute.HashPrintRequestAttributeSet ();
printAttributes.add(javax.print.attribute.standard .OrientationRequested.LANDSCAPE);
And then using the textarea.print() method that allows me to set attributes. However, I haven't found any way to set the font and font size.
