Swing/AWT/SWT :: Making Ball Bounce Around A Screen
Aug 12, 2014
I've got to make a ball bounce around a screen.... From what I can gather they seem to hold back useful java code.
anyway, i've changed the code over and over, and think this is the most succinct way i can manage it. but i have a problem. where i've marked the code (*****) and the following line are conditional on each other. so one won't provide the correct answer without the other line executing first, and vice versa (ignore the code after, i haven't looked at where that should be yet ). Anyway I don't really want to rip the code apart, again, because i'm pretty sure it's close.
I am trying to make a letter bounce off of the edges of the frame, but im stuck .
Java Code:
import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; public class MainProgram extends JFrame{ public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub MainProgram frm = new MainProgram(); frm.setTitle("Moving a letter");
I'm trying to do is get this ball to bounce around the screen and ive gotten so far but not sure how to proceed. The ball keeps disappearing.
//bouncing ball
float x; //ball x position float dx = 3; //ball x direction is right, step 5 float y; //ball y position float dy = 3; void setup () //runs once at start
a) I have a Ball Object which implements the Runnable interface and traces the various positions of a ball.
b) I then have a Ball_Bounce JPanel inside a JFrame which creates two instances of the Ball object and then paints them to the JPanel.
As per my understanding, when the main() program in Ball_Bounce.java is started, there a total of three threads running in this program, one for each ball and one for the main(). What I cannot understand is whenever the balls collide, I end up getting the "Collision" message twice even though the collision is checked only in the main() thread.
[#]public class Ball implements Runnable { private boolean xUp, yUp, xUp1, yUp1; private int x, y, xDx, yDy; private final int MAX_X = 500, MAX_Y = 500; private boolean flag = true; private static Thread ball;
I'm trying to read from a file. we made an array of LinkedList and when I'm reading from the file i get a runtime error "index out of bounce in line 66"
import java.lang.*; import java.util.*; public class HashTester{ LinkedList_t [] hash; LinkedList_t [][] doubleHasher; int size;
I am currently writing a chess application in Java swing. For the GUI part, I have one MainWindow class, and one ChessBoard class. The MainWindow has a main panel, in which is contained 1) a panel containing the chessboard from the chessboard class (a grid layout array of 64 JLabels), 2) a JLabel status bar, and 3) a JList to hold the moves of the game. I have a movePiece method in the chessboard class, which I would like to add the move and question to the moves list, which is contained in the main window class.
However, since JList is some special type, I can't make it static ( that gives me an error ). I also tried creating a method in the main window class to add a move to the list, which I would then access via the chessboard class. However, I can't make the method static, because it is referencing a non-static variable ( the JList ), and since the Main window class already has an object of the chessboard class, trying to create a main window object in the chessboard class creates a stack overflow error.
I have to create a Swing application for which i haved a set of requirements as,
1. there will be two JPanels ,left and right, on the main JFrame , left frame would contain a JTextField and a submit JButton ,user can enter values 1,2,3 ,in the JTextField and presses the JButton
a. if user enters 1, a JTextField will be shown on right JPanel b. if user enters 2, a JTextField and a JRadioButton will be shown on right JPanel c. if user enters 3, a JTextField and a JComboBox will be shown on right JPanel
So I have done that but when my boss sees the code behind this application he told me to make it more extensible i.e. if there is going to be an additional requirement for values 4 or 5 or 6 and so on , then i have to make minimal changes in my code or no change in my code and it should work . how this can be done ? is it possible make such software design ?
public class DesktopApp extends JFrame { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(DesktopApp.class); private JPanel jp, jp2, mainPanel; private JLabel jl, jl1, jl2, jl3, jl4, jl5; private JTextField jText, jText2, jText3, jText4;
[Code] ....
What wrong am i doing here in this code which in not considered to be an extensible design ?
I have created a java gui on Windows 7 with Eclipse EE, using a screen resolution of 1366 x 768. I used groups with specified boundaries. For example:
final Group g5_script_data = new Group(shell, SWT.BORDER_SOLID); g5_script_data.setText("Current DB"); g5_script_data.setBounds(0, 0, 680, 380); g5_script_data.setBackground(green);
The groups cover the whole screen.
However my colleague with a smaller resolution looses the far right of the screen.
As this is a proto-type and I'm new to Java I don't want to rework everything or convert it to say a grid layout until the proto-type is accepted and I can start from scratch with a real detailed design. It already has 6500 lines of source.
Just wondered what is my quickest/easiest way to get my app to display on a slightly smaller resolution. For sure it will not be anything silly. Something like 1280 x 768 to 1366 x 768 would do.
I had developed small GUI using swing group layout, which is nice to see on windows, but when I tried it on Linux the GUI look is varied. Then I set the GUI height and width by taking screen resolution, still it is varies the screen look. How I can make the GUI such that it looks the same on all screen resolutions.
I'm writing my first bigger program (mysql connection and the first thing bigger than 300 lines ). What I'd like to do is to render data from MySQL using JTable - I managed to handle all the queries but I don't know how to update the table on screen. I've tried to use repaint() but nothing happened. I'm not posting whole code because you'll probably not interested, below are the most important things. I thought about using TableModel but how.
public class Main implements ActionListener{ JTable table;
public Main() { JFrame frame = new JFrame("Frame"); frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout()); frame.add(table);
I am making an expert system using Jess about animals. I wanted to make an interface using Swing and so I did. I have a problem using group layouts. The application works fine but at the end a exceptions is thrown:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalStateException: javax.swing.JLabel[,0,0,0x0,invalid,alignmentX=0.0, alignmentY=0.0,border=,flags=8388608,maximumSize=,minimumSize=, preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,horizontalAlignment=LEADING, horizontalTextPosition=TRAILING,iconTextGap=4,labelFor=, text=The animal is a cheetah.,verticalAlignment=CENTER, verticalTextPosition=CENTER] is not attached to a horizontal group
[Code] ....
The application ask the user some questions about the animal. When the expert system has enough information to know the animal it tells the name of the animal and shows a picture of it. The exception is thrown when the application has guessed the animal and shows the response.
I am trying to drag the window down wards and screen has alignment issues. I tried to use WindowListeners, Component Listeners, MouseListeners ect…
But still this problem persists as only I release the mouse after drag down it appears fine that we have handled ComponentResized() method. So how to restrict component size while keep dragging down?
i'm currently doing my system now and my problem is about inserting an image to my jframe form with thread because if i insert image and when i run it it blinks too slow comparing if i use simple oval it doesnt blink.
I want to build a class that takes a JTable and previews on screen how it will be printed on the default printer. This is what we use to call as "Print Preview", just like MS Word, Excel, etc. As we already know Java does not support this functionality out-of-the-box.
Based on some examples I've found googling I built two classes. The first one TestPreview.java justs shows the JTable and the second one PrintPreview.java previews how the JTable will be printed on the printer.
I have two buttons to go through the pages, "PREV" and "NEXT" and "Print' button to print the JTable. My problem is that when my JTable has too many rows and spans in more than one page PrintPreview does not work. It shows the same page again and again. Also, it does not show the entire JTable data, but only some of them and I can't figure out why.
Now my issue is I have a JTable. The first column will contain Date objects all the way to the bottom. I want the JTable to display only the month and year. I created a custom cell renderer, but it appears the cell renderer method "getTableCellRendererComponent" is never called. (I tested it using System.out.println();) Here is my code for setting the cell renderer and the contents of the first column:
MonthYearTableCellRenderer renderer = new MonthYearTableCellRenderer(); tblView.setDefaultRenderer(Date.class, renderer); for(int i = 0; i < 60; i++){ Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); cal.add(Calendar.MONTH, i); tableModel.setValueAt(cal.getTime(), i, 0); }
The Date objects are set into the cells of column 0 correctly. The table shows the result of the "toString()" method for each cell in that column.
basically I would like to know how to to the following Java. Example... Say I have one JComboBox, and it is populated with 10 items which reads from a text file ("apple","banana","kiwi","orange","grape fruit"), and the other JComboBox holds the price ($1,$2,$4, etc etc...you get the drift).
How do I make in such a way when I select for example banana from the JCombobox that it syncs the other JCombox to the correct price?
Basically syncing the two JCombobox so that you do not need to select the price yourself - it does it automatically for you.
My question is, how do I get my Cube to visualize in the JPanel? I've tried a bunch of add methods but they don't compile. Is there a proper method I can use to add an object to a JPanel?
I developed a swing application using group layout. It resizes when I resize the frame but when I change the screen resolution or when I run the application in a laptop which has small sized screen, the components over lap each other. I need my application to fit according to the screen resolution
The code is as follows
private void initComponents() { jComboBox1 = new javax.swing.JComboBox(); jButton1 = new javax.swing.JButton(); jButton2 = new javax.swing.JButton(); jLabel1 = new javax.swing.JLabel(); jLabel2 = new javax.swing.JLabel(); jLabel3 = new javax.swing.JLabel();
[Code]...
According to the list item selected, an internal frame will appear in the desktop pane. I use group layout for that internal frame too.
I want to make swing form full screen even on taskbar on linux machine. But after trying so hard unable to achieve it. I am using fedora as operationg system.
Below i am giving you my swing code. but whenever i run this file form comes up on the screen and waits for a second and it goes in background.
I am using linux OS Fedora 64 bit.
public class ThankYou { JFrame f; JTextArea nameField; JLabel lable; String str;
I'm working on Ubuntu with resolution 1600*900; I used MigLayout to place the components of the application; but when I go with higher resolutions,components adjustment and alignment are not up to the mark.
I'm making a game of checkers for my A2 Computing coursework which is due in within a week. I have completely finished the game, and only thing I have left to do is connect the two JPanels together via a CardLayout that I have made. However I am unsure how to do so
I have kept the code I am displaying to a minimal, hence I have removed all the action listeners for my buttons, anyway the problem I have is that, I would like it so that when the user clicks on the 'Multiplayer' button which is the array button ourButtons[1], it will then transition into my main game screen so that the user can then play a game of checkers.
Here is the main important GUI from my CheckerBoard class:
import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; public class CheckerBoard extends JPanel implements ActionListener, MouseListener { // Main routine that opens an Applet that shows a CheckerBoard public static void main(String[] args) { new CLayout();
I have made a window using JFrame and on my JPanel I have added 3 components: 2 JTextFields ("field1" and "field2") and inbetween them a JButton ("switch"). My goal is to switch the value of field1 to field2 and vice versa when the JButton is clicked. I thought this ActionListener which I have added to my JButton would achieve my goal:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { field2.setText(field1.getText()); field1.setText(field2.getText()); }
However, it changes the value of field2 into the value of field1 but not the other way around.
import javax.swing.Timer; import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.event.*; public class Ball extends JPanel { private int delay = 10; private Timer timer = new Timer(delay, new TimerListener()); private int x = 0; private int y = 0;
I am writing a three part program that essentially works like a magic 8 ball. I have the switch/case part which gives the answers from a random number generator, then I also have a graphics file to create the ball as a visual. Lastly I have the frame to display the ball. The problem I am having is that, I am trying to make the program so that when you type in a question and press return the ball will show the answer and then you can type another question and press return and the ball will show a different answer. To quit you would simply type "quit". Right now however the ball is not showing up in my frame until I type quit, then to ask another question I have to end the run and start over again. Here is my program so far:
Case/Switch: public class MagicEightBall { private int number; private String answer;
