Swing/AWT/SWT :: Implementing Listener Of GUI In A Different Class?
Jun 26, 2014
I have two different classes called Login (in the package View) and RegButtonListener (in the package Controller). I want to use the MVC pattern.
Login creates a GUI for login. I used NetBeans GUI Builder to create it.
In the class RegButtonListener there is the code for the click of the buttons, then various listeners of the GUI.
Now I want to close the login frame at the click of a button so I want to use the dispose() method.
If I had all the code (GUI code and code of the listener) in the same file, close the frame would be easy enough to do because this.dispose(). But in my case I have two different classes.
I also have a second problem.
In Login class (in the packege View) I have included the line :
regButton.addActionListener(Controller.RegButtonListener).
However, Netbeans tells me an error "package regButton does not exist. <identifier> expected". Why does he consider regButton a package? How can I fix these two problems?
How do I do then?
Below is the code of the two classes.
Login class.
public class Login extends javax.swing.JFrame {
/** Creates new form Login */
public Login() {
initComponents();
[code]....

JMenuItem blueChoice = new JMenuItem("Blue");
blueChoice.addActionListener(new InnerMenuListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
String buttonCommandString = e.getActionCommand( );
if (buttonCommandString.equals("Red"))
redPanel.setBackground(Color.RED);
else if (buttonCommandString.equals("White"))
whitePanel.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
else if (buttonCommandString.equals("Blue"))
bluePanel.setBackground(Color.BLUE);
else
System.out.println("Unexpected error.");
}
});
Can a method in an anonymous inner class ever be private? why or why not?

Couple of problems here...
1. I am trying to use the getSource method in my inner class, in order to set the JPasswordField within an Inner Listener Class. This is a 4 integer password, setup by my for statement in the loop. I know what I want the program to do, but I don't know the correct language to use. I want the user to press one of the keys (0-9), that value be stored in JPassword (at least I think that is how it works) and for it to display the "*" in the Field---I want this to loop 4x. How do I use the getSource() to do this.
Also, I believe I need to use the set and get methods for the password entered into the JPassField, is that correct? The inner class is not recognizing my the object password that represents the JPasswordField.
2. In my second Inner Listener Class, clearButton, I set the event.getSource method to reset the JPasswordField to " ", when the clear button is pressed. Again, the problem is that the inner class does not recognize password. Why is this the case, since it is still a part of the parent class Atm?
Java Code: import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Atm extends JFrame {
Atm(){
super("ATM");
int i = 0;
//Create Panels For ATM
JPanel buttonPanel1 = new JPanel(); //To Contain Digits 1-9
buttonPanel1.setLayout(new GridLayout(4, 3));

i have been given a homework assignment where I have to get rid of a stack object I wrote for a program and replace it with the Stack<E> library java offers ie:
public class Stack<E> extends Vector<E> {
public Stack(); // constructor
public Boolean empty();
public E peek();
public E pop();
public E push(E item);
}
my question is do i have to actually write all these methods? Or can i just construct a stack and use the methods?

I have been trying to learn how to use the TabbedPane GUI. I can get the tabs to show up, but the buttons I have placed in each tab do not show up. Why this is not working. I assume that, for some reason, the buttons are not linking with their respective panels, or the panels are not linking to the respective tabs.
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

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.

I've tried implementing the compareTo method in several ways and no luck.. I keep getting errors and now it just says bad operand type for binary operator with the ">" symbol and also the less than. I'm attempting to give an implementation for the compareTo method so it compares the value of the requestDate instance variable of the two objects. if the calling object of request is greater then I have to return ""1" if it's smaller then returns "-1" and if they are the same then returns value of "0"
package librarysystem_phase2;
import java.io.Serializable;
/**
* This class represents a request a member makes to checkout or download an item from the library.

public class Request implements Serializable, Comparable<Request>

In the book we made a GUI which has 2 buttons, a label and a panel (the panel is a subclass of JPanel). What the program does is the following: When I press one of the two buttons, in the panel there is a rectangle that changes its color. When I press the other button it has to change the text on the label. Now the problem is that when I start the program, the FIRST time I press the button on which the label must change, this also changes the color in the rectangle, which it should not (I also noticed that when i FIRST click the rectangle shifts a little bit to the left). After that the program works fine.
Here is my code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TwoButtons{
JFrame fr;
JButton labelButton;
JButton colorButton;
JLabel label;
[Code] ....

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.

I'm having difficulty implementing keyboard and mouse event handlers at the same time for a program designed to notify the user when a key has been pressed or a mouse button clicked.
I can make and understand a program that does one or the other, but when I try to combine them, either the keyboard only or the mouse only works.
here is the code:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;

I’m teaching myself Java. I am a fairly proficient programmer in other languages, but this is the first OO language I’m doing.I have a question that is a bit hard to summarize. Or it should be: how can I pass on an object (or variable) to an event listener?
I am writing an application in which you can play a Sudoku game. I have separated the “logic” or the “model”(the classes with Sudoku data structures and methods to manipulate them) from the presentation (the view and the controller).The main method starts off as follows:
SudokuModel model = new SudokuModel();
SudokuView viewController = new SudokuViewController(model);
The first line creates class for the logic and the second line creates the class for the view and the controller. Since the view and the controller need access to the business logic, the model is passed on to the ViewController class.The SudokuViewController class creates the user interface in Swing and it handles the user input. For the user input I have created a number of listeners, like this:
table.addKeyListener(this);
Now these listeners need access to the model since they update it. However, as far as I’m aware the only parameter passed on to an event listener is the event itself. So these event listeners do not have direct access to the model, even though it is passed on to the constructor of the class SudokuViewController.
To circumvent this, I made model2 an attribute (variable) of the class SudokuViewController. The constructor of the class sets this variable as follows:
model2 = model;
Now the event listeners have access to model2, which they can manipulate.This works. However, I think it is an ugly solution, introducing an additional object (model2). I’d like to pass on the object named model to the event listener, but this doesn’t seem to be possible.

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.

I need to take the value of what's typed in my JTextField, and once the submit button is clicked, I want to add that string to my JComboBox list items.
Depending which RadioButton they selected, I need to put the team in HOME or AWAY teams, and so on and so on, until they continue clicking submit.

I am messing around with a Swing application and am a bit stuck as to how to join the front and back ends.This is the code for the DataManager class which is responsible for loading and saving objects and interfacing with rest of the system. The data I need displayed comes from a .txt file in the applications directory. I need to show certain aspects of the data in the JComboBoxes in the GUI class.
Java Code:
package programdataapplication;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class DataManager {

how I can join back-end and GUI classes.

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?

I was developed a simple GUI, in that it requires modification of jtextfield content while JComboBox item selected and vice-versa. I was used itemListener on JComboBox and Document Listener on JTextField. It was gives exception while running the code. Because one listener source effected by another one..
Exceptions are like this:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Attempt to mutate in notification
at javax.swing.text.AbstractDocument.writeLock(Unknown Source)
at javax.swing.text.AbstractDocument.replace(Unknown Source)
at javax.swing.text.JTextComponent.setText(Unknown Source)
at ronanki.swing.pcahostsimUI$5.itemStateChanged(pcahostsimUI.java:368)
at javax.swing.JComboBox.fireItemStateChanged(Unknown Source)

Is it possible to define the same message driven bean as a listener to different queues?
The goal being to define different redelivery configuration for different kind of messages, but handle them all through a single deployment MDB for unity/entity purposes.
The other option is to have many MDBs targeted to the same source code.

Ok, so I'm making a game with a space ship that flies around the universe and discovering new planets. It works fine so far, but I'm looking to make it perform better and be better compatible with lesser-processors.So, I'm trying to put in an FPS counter and an entirely new game loop so that my game can decide for me what FPS I should use.
I have two classes. Heres the big, main one: [Java] package cyentw.game.src; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Font; impor - Pastebin.com *I want to change the loop and put an FPS counter in around line 456, you can scroll past the rest if you'd like*And heres the init frame one, in case you'd like to see it for some reason.
Java Code:
package cyentw.game.src;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class Start extends JFrame{
public static JFrame frame;
public static int WIDTH = 500;
public static int HEIGHT = 500;
public Start() {
[code]....
how to make my game loop as quickly (or a bit slower) as it can, and my FPS is static.

I want to make a program that will move a square to the left if you press "a", and to the right if you press "d". (Once I know how to do this I can figure out W and S for up and down by myself). What code would I use for doing that? Here is the program I have now. I used the oracle tutorial but it just shows how to handle for if ANY key is pressed.
This is what I used How to Write a Key Listener (The Java Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Writing Event Listeners)
Java Code:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class myGame extends JComponent {
public int x = 20;
public int y = 20;
