Swing/AWT/SWT :: Action Listener Does Not Work With Button Click

Feb 22, 2015

I have buttons created on a frame and then I register the listener from a controller in a controller-view relationship.

When I click the button on the face, the action never executes for some reason. I thought maybe there was a problem registering the listener but I can call the buttons doclick() method and it executes as it should. Perhaps I'm overlooking something really obvious here but I can't see it.

btnEight = new JButton( "8" );
// btnEight.addActionListener( controller );
btnEight.setBounds( 212, 90, 41, 23 );
frame.getContentPane().add( btnEight );

and then I add the listener

public void setController( ActionListener theController ) {
Component[] components = frame.getContentPane().getComponents();
for ( Component component : components ) {
if ( component instanceof JButton ) {
JButton button = ( JButton ) component;
button.addActionListener( theController );
}
}

again, when i click the button nothing happens. but if i add the following code

btnEight.doclick()

the actionPerformed invokes in theController as I intended.

You can see the entire project on GitHub so you can see the full context. The controller class contains the listener and the view class contains the buttons.

AWT Action Listener In Swing GUI?

Feb 22, 2014

I'm using Eclipse with the Window Builder Pro plugin to create a Java program. I noticed that when I had Eclipse create an action listener for a combobox in a Swing GUI it created an AWT listener.

Did I choose the wrong type of listener? I want my code to use the Swing components because I understand that they are more portable.

Swing/AWT/SWT :: JComboBox Listener - Bound Action?

Jul 14, 2014

I have three JComboBoxes. When the user selects an entry in the first JComboBox the entries in the second are set. For this I use an Action extends AbstractAction which is bound to the first JComboBox.

I have also bound an Action to the second JComboBox.

Problem: this also fires when the entries on the second JCombox are added which leads to a Nullpointer.

I need a Listener which only reacts to user input, and does not react when the model of the JComboBox is changed.

Swing/AWT/SWT :: How To Change Action After 1st JButton Click

Aug 3, 2014

I am relatively new to java. . I cannot...(actually do not know) how to change the actionlistener (actionPerformed) after the second click in an array of JButtons. This is how the program performs right now.

On the 1st click on the grid, the border of the button clicked will change to 'blue' and another button will change its boarder to 'red'. on the next click the same action is performed.

What I need is to change action when the 'red' bordered button is clicked, lets say change the color of the buttons from the 'red' to the 'blue' buttons.(x 3 buttons).

The logic about how to perform the final result I think I can do on my own but my problem is how to change the action when the red bordered button is clicked.

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Listener Called Multiple Times On Single Click?

Jan 30, 2015

I have the following listener on a tableset of names:

ListSelectionListener singleListener=new ListSelectionListener() {
public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
int row=e.getFirstIndex();
if (row==previousRow) {
row=-1;

[Code] .....

The println shows that getValueIsAdjusting is called 4 times when I click a single selection from the list. Is this normal behavior? If so how do I determine which call to really use. If not, where can I look to see why it is being called 4 times on a single click?

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Unable To Show Image When Click On Button

Oct 21, 2014

I've recently decided to learn Java on my own using internet material such as forums, blogs and you tube. Ive never programed before but through some research I concluded that Java is going to be on the mid spectrum of difficulty as far as verbiage goes. I ma in no way implying that Java is easy but instead closer to spoken English that c++ if my research is correct. So here is my attempt at a basic program where I click a button and it will make an image appear. Not sure where Im falling short

package clicktoimage;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Clicktoimage extends JFrame {
private JLabel label;
private ImageIcon image;

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Running Exe On Click Of Button Packaged As Resource In Jar

Mar 17, 2015

So this is my package structure:

Projectsrccom.mypackageMyClass.java
resourcesicon.pngmyexe.exe
Right now I have to run the exe like this : - It has hardcoded the path of the exe :command = "cmd /c start /b cmd.exe /K "cd " + outputFolderPath
+ " && C:myfoldermyexe.exe " + "param1=value1 param2=value2 " ;

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command); This works fine. But, When I package it as a jar I want to give a relative path to my resources folder. How can I make this happen?

I tried:File f = new File("resources/myexe.exe");
String path = f.getAbsolutePath();
but this "path" did not work.

Another way would be to extract the exe to a local path on the server, but there is a possibility that I could face permission issues.

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Changing Panel In Jframe On Click Of A Button

Jun 22, 2014

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());

How To Call Action Listener Automatically And Without Doing It Manually

May 16, 2014

I'm not a java developer, i'm a tester. I am currently testing a java swing application and to do that I have to automate how its used. IE I have to write code which will press buttons for me rather than depending on an end user to do this. I have managed to reverse engineer the entire application (hooray for me), however I am struggling to work out how to invoke methods that would typically be kicked off by a user pressing a button. how to I can call actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) method which sits in the ATMMainPanel class?

I will be calling it from inside another method which is the equivalent of the main() method.

Java Code:

public class ATMMainPanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener {
[declarations here]
//here - User is pressing the Enter button after putting in pin.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
[code performed when button is pressed]
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

I/O / Streams :: 3D Project - How To Activate Key Repeating With Action Listener

Dec 8, 2014

I am working on a 3D-Projekt, but that's not the point. I wanted to call a function to turn the camera and want, that the function ist called while the key is pressed. I tried following:

private ActionListener actionListener = new ActionListener() {
public void onAction(String name, boolean pressed, float tpf)
if (name.equals("Camera Left") && pressed) {
setViewAngle(-1);

I think, I have to change the ActionListener "onAction", but I can't remember in which way. In the actual code the programm only once perform the action when the key is pressed.

I already tried :

while(pressed) {setViewAngle(-1)}

But that didn't work, but get the whole programm to halt.

So I thought of key repeating.

Involving Action Listener And If Statements For Multiple Conditions

Jan 25, 2014

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.

When Click On New Button / All Icons Except Button Just Clicked Don't Display

Oct 16, 2014

The gist of it is to create a very basic memory game. There are 12 buttons, each associated with an icon. Every button that you click will display the icon and will stay there until clicked again. I got the bulk of it taken care of, but my issue lies with switching the icons back and forth. I can get them to display one at a time, but when I click on a new button, all the icons except the button I just clicked don't display. Essentially, only one shows up at a time.

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.EventQueue;

Closing Old Pop Up Frame With Existing Action Button

May 27, 2015

I am modifying existing code to display graph after pressing calculate button. The graph pop ups in new controller/window.  The pop up disappears after closing the application entirely.  However I have trouble figuring out if it is possible to close that old/previous pop up and new pop up appears when calculate button is pressed again.  Or at least reuse the pop up to display a new graph. 

public class AdamCalculationApp extends AbstractCalculation {
  /**
   * Does a calculation.
   */
  public void calculate() { // Does a calculation   
control.println("Adam Calculation button pressed.");
double k = control.getDouble("k value"); // String must match argument of setValue
control.println("k*k = "+(k*k));
control.println("random = "+Math.random());

Action Event - How To Implement Button And Text Field

May 9, 2015

I want to use this class and method with all of my buttons and text fields. My program contains 1 push button that adds questions and answers to a test, 2nd button that starts a test, a 3rd button that scores the test, and a text field that enters the user information. How would this work? I know how to create questions and answers, start a test, and score a test it's just a matter of how to implement the button and text fields. I'll post the code that I have done so far.

See:

private class ButtonListener implements ActionListener{
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event)

with all of my buttons and text fields.

import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class TestingDriver
{
//-----------------------------------------------------------------
// Creates and displays the main program frame.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------
public static void main (String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Testing Program");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
