JButton text changes on its own? - java

The following simple code:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class ButtonTextMain {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> {
final JTextField field = new JTextField(20);
final JButton button = new JButton("Click to change text");
button.addActionListener(e -> button.setText(field.getText()));
final JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
panel.add(field, BorderLayout.CENTER);
panel.add(button, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
});
}
}
can always reproduce the same bug (at least for my setups, which are given below).
The program is supposed to change the button text, according to the text-field's text, when the button is clicked.
The problem is that the text of the button reverts/changes back to its previous value on its own unexpectedly.
The problem arises when I use the Tab to alternate/navigate between the button and the text-field. Here are the specific steps which always reproduce the same bug on my setups:
Run the program.
Resize the frame to be a bit bigger than it was.
Type some short text in the text-field.
Press Tab to navigate the focus to the button.
Press Spacebar to invoke the button.
Press Tab to navigate the focus back to the text-field.
Type any letter you like into the text-field.
Notes:
I know that step 2 is relevant, because if I ommit it then the bug does not reproduce.
After step 2 (and before 3), the mouse should not be needed any more. Leave it. The focus of the program should be in the text-field as it was when the program launched.
In step 3 I usually type something like abc but the error repoduces for any other input I tried.
In step 6 you can also use Shift+Tab to navigate back to the text-field.
On step 7, after typing the first letter, you will see that the button's text changes back to its initial/previous value.
My first tested setup:
Apache NetBeans IDE 8.2, which is a bit outdated.
java -version yields:
java version "1.8.0_321"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_321-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.321-b07, mixed mode)
javac -version yields javac 1.8.0_161. There is a missmatch here with the runtime environment.
My second tested setup:
Apache NetBeans IDE 11.0.
java -version yields:
java version "12.0.2" 2019-07-16
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 12.0.2+10)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 12.0.2+10, mixed mode, sharing)
javac -version yields javac 12.0.2.
The operating system is Windows 10 on both setups.
So the question is: did I do something wrong, and if so, what is it please? First of, can anybody else reproduce the bug I am getting on their setup?
Update:
I can also reproduce this behaviour on the system L&F too, by using:
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
inside just before the JTextField creation (and catching exceptions, etc).

Based on the above comments I retested and now I am able to reproduce the problem. The issue occurs when you increase the vertical height of the text field (by some minimal amount).
I guess I tested before by only increasing the horizontal size of the text field.
I found a simple work around:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class ButtonTextMain {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> {
final JTextField field = new JTextField(20);
final JButton button = new JButton("Click to change text");
button.addActionListener(e ->
{
button.setText(field.getText());
//button.getParent().revalidate();
button.getParent().repaint();
});
final JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
panel.add(field, BorderLayout.CENTER);
panel.add(button, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setContentPane(panel);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
});
}
}
This definitely seems like a bug to me.
Having said that, rarely would you want the vertical height of the text field to increase in size. So maybe you can find a layout manager that only affects the horizontal size and not the vertical height?

I don't have this problem.
I use VScode, java version 1.8.0.25.
I think problem is your compiler.

java gui help needed

I need some help with gui in java. I am an absolute beginner with java and programming. I copy pasted this code in BlueJ
import javax.swing.*;
class gui{
public static void main(){
JFrame frame = new JFrame("My First GUI");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(300,300);
JButton button = new JButton("Press");
frame.getContentPane().add(button); // Adds Button to content pane of frame
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
and I didn't get the desired results and this is what showed up in the terminal window:
Device "Mobile Intel(R) 45 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)" (\.\DISPLAY1) initialization failed :
WARNING: bad driver version detected, device disabled. Please update your driver to at least version 8.15.10.2302
Can anyone tell me how to fix this error?
Just like it says, download the latest graphics driver on the official Intel website and install,then try it again.

Java 9 changed default title height of JFrame after resizing is disabled

My Swing application cannot get consistent appearance between Java 8 and Java 9. It doesn't use a layout manager, so that all components are given exact size, but I found that running with Java 9, title of JFrame gets a different height and the status bar is not fully rendered. Please refer to the attached screen dump; it seems it is a bug.
I also studied how to repeat it with a simple demo program and found that it is not related to a layout manager. It seems that problem occurs after resizing is disabled. Please try the attached demo source code.
I also tried the following parameters, but they don't help:
-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=1.0
-Dprism.allowhidpi=false

The problem is confirmed as a bug by the Java bug system at:
JDK-8202015: JFrame.setResizable(false) gives different frame size & title height from Java 8
Let's wait for the bugfix.

Why is my Java swing window not showing up?

so I'm starting to learn Java Swing, following a YouTube video.. installed Java 8 and NetBeans 8.0 in Linux Ubuntu 14.04. Made a new Java application, and wrote the following code:
package basicswing;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JButton;
public class BasicSwing extends JFrame {
JPanel p = new JPanel();
JButton b = new JButton("Hello");
public static void main(String[] args) {
new BasicSwing();
}
public BasicSwing() {
super("Basic Swing App");
setSize(400,300);
setResizable(true);
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
p.add(b);
add(p);
setVisible(true);
}
}
When I clean, build, and then run the project, it shows that a Java project is running, but I don't see the Frame, it doesn't pop up.. I don't actually think it's a code issue, I've tried it with different code, and the frame still doesn't show. I can't figure out if it's a NetBeans issue or a Java issue.. or maybe something else?
It is an environment (NetBeans maybe?) issue. Try running from command line:
$ javac BasicSwing.java
$ java BasicSwing
The code is correct and displays the frame.

Moving JScrollPane horizontally results in blured text

I have a TextArea inside JScrollPane inside standard JPanel.
JPanel panelMain = new JPanel();
panelMain.setBorder(titledBorder1);
panelMain.setBounds(new Rectangle(2, 5, 970, 700));
panelMain.setLayout(null);
JTextArea fieldBody = new JTextArea();
JScrollPane fieldBodyScrollPane = new JScrollPane(fieldBody);
fieldBodyScrollPane.setBounds(70, 140, 790, 500);
panelMain.add(fieldBodyScrollPane);
When I type enough text in a single row the horizontal knob appears - so far good. But when I start moving the knob left and right, the text gets blured (see image). Interestingly, nothing weird happens when I move the textarea up and down.
I use Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity. This graphic artifact never appeared to me before. Any hints what could be the problem?
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
public class CaseForLayoutsNumber547 {
CaseForLayoutsNumber547() {
Border titledBorder1 = new TitledBorder("Case for Layouts #547");
// START: code snippet variant
JPanel panelMain = new JPanel(new GridLayout());
panelMain.setBorder(titledBorder1);
JTextArea fieldBody = new JTextArea(5,40);
JScrollPane fieldBodyScrollPane = new JScrollPane(fieldBody);
panelMain.add(fieldBodyScrollPane);
// END: code snippet variant
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, panelMain);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
new CaseForLayoutsNumber547();
}
};
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
}
}
I do not see any scroll artifacts in this SSCCE. Do you?
Here's #Andrew's SSCCE displaying itself; it looks the same with either Ambience or Radiance.
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.4) (6b24-1.11.4-1ubuntu0.12.04.1)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode, sharing)
Addendum: Looking closer at your screenshot, failing to honor the opacity property can cause such rendering artifact, and the default setting may vary among Look & Feel implementations.
This problem happens in OpenJDK (6 and 7, at least; and at least on Linux), and does not happen in Oracle Java 6 and 7 (on Linux).
The workaround suggested by mKorbel works for me:
scrollPane.getViewport().setScrollMode(JViewport.SIMPLE_SCROLL_MODE);
So I guess it's a bug in OpenJDK.

Cannot mix lightweight and heavyweight components in an undecorated JFrame

I am attempting to mix heavyweight and lightweight components according to these guidelines.
I am expecting the following code to paint the entire window green. Instead, it renders half the screen red:
import java.awt.Canvas;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLayeredPane;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class Testcase extends Canvas
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 0L;
public static void main(String[] arg)
{
final boolean enableWorkaround = false;
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
JLayeredPane layers = new JLayeredPane();
frame.getContentPane().add(layers);
JPanel green = new JPanel();
green.setBackground(Color.GREEN);
green.setBounds(0, 0, 800, 600);
layers.add(green, Integer.valueOf(1));
Canvas red = new Canvas();
red.setBackground(Color.RED);
red.setBounds(0, 0, 400, 600);
layers.add(red, Integer.valueOf(0));
frame.setSize(800, 600);
if (!enableWorkaround)
frame.setUndecorated(true);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
}
Reproduced on:
java version "1.6.0_23"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_23-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode, sharing)
and
java version "1.7.0-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-ea-b124)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.0-b05, mixed mode, sharing)
Does my code contain any bugs or is this a legitimate JDK bug?
Your code appears to be fine, since it works as you'd think if you used a JPanel instead of a Canvas for red .This appears to be a bug in mixing heavyweight and lightweight components.
As mentioned in the selected answer for this question on overlapping components, it seems that it's still a bad idea to mix heavyweight and lightweight components if it involves overlapping a lightweight component over a heavyweight component.
However, overlapping a heavyweight over a lightweight component does seem to work, so if you change green into the Canvas and red into the JPanel, it will work. It will also work if both are JPanels or both are Canvases.
That said, unless you really need to, it's generally better to avoid mixing lightweight and heavyweight components.
Hope that helps.
According to Oracle, this is a known limitation that will be fixed in the future: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7012806
