I'm trying to create a hangman game using the Swing class and Graphics class for a APCS class I have.
I created a JButton that would take the guess typed in by the user and either add it to the "misses" or fill in all of the corresponding letters in the word. I have a separate txt file where I pick a random word from.
When I run the program, all of the components show up, but the button does not do anything. I have been working on this for a few days and don't know what I am doing wrong. I have only learnt how to use the Swing class recently, so it may be a stupid mistake for all I know. I have put all of the code down below.
public class Hangman extends JFrame {
DrawPanel panel = new DrawPanel();
Graphics g = panel.getGraphics();
JTextField guess;
JTextField outputWord;
JTextField missesString;
boolean play;
JButton button = new JButton();
String output = "";
String word;
int misses = 0;
public Hangman() {
int again = 0;
String[] dictionary = new String[1000];
In words = new In("words.txt");
JFrame app = new JFrame();
app.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
app.setVisible(true);
app.setSize(500, 500);
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
dictionary[i] = words.readLine();
}
do {
int num = (int) (Math.random() * 1000);
word = dictionary[num].toLowerCase();
String answer = word;
word = "";
for (int i = answer.length(); i > 0; i--) {
word = word + "*";
}
int length = answer.length();
app.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
JLabel letter = new JLabel();
letter.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 20));
letter.setText("Enter Your guess");
guess = new JTextField(10);
JLabel output = new JLabel();
output.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 20));
output.setText("The Word is");
outputWord = new JTextField(30);
outputWord.setText(word);
outputWord.setEditable(false);
JLabel misses = new JLabel();
misses.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 20));
misses.setText("Misses:");
missesString = new JTextField(52);
missesString.setEditable(false);
button = new JButton("Guess");
button.addActionListener(new ButtonListener());
JPanel panels = new JPanel();
panels.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
JPanel panel1 = new JPanel();
panel1.add(letter);
panel1.add(guess);
panel1.add(button);
JPanel panel2 = new JPanel();
panel2.add(output);
panel2.add(outputWord);
JPanel panel3 = new JPanel();
panel3.add(misses);
panel3.add(missesString);
app.add(panel1, BorderLayout.NORTH);
app.add(panel2, BorderLayout.EAST);
app.add(panel3, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
app.add(panels);
app.setVisible(true);
again = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, "Do you want to play again?");
} while (again == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION);
}
private class ButtonListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (e.getSource() == guess) {
output = "";
}
for (int i = 0; i <= word.length() - 1; i++) {
if (guess.getText().equalsIgnoreCase(word.substring(i, i + 1))) {
output = output.substring(0, i) + guess + output.substring(i + 1, word.length() - 1);
outputWord.setText(output);
} else {
misses++;
missesString.setText(missesString.getText() + guess + " ");
}
}
}
}
}
The components show up perfectly on the screen, it is only the button that is giving me a hard time by not working as expected.
Ok, so I recently asked about how to get access to individual columns of an array in java, and I got an answer that worked perfectly. I then however intended to calculate things such as the maximum value in this column, and the average. However, I came across an issue. In order to access each value, I assume this column needs to be treated as an array also. However, the way I got access to each column was by storing it into a double. Therefore, I have no idea how to take each column and calculate things. Can anyone help me please? I'm sorry for posting so much that probably seems like nothing here, but we had no teacher for 12 weeks and are expected to turn in this work by just teaching ourselves, and I'm just really stuck.

Also, after this, I tried an alterantive code, where instead of getting individual columns, I would instead store the unwanted columns into an array so they are voided during calculation, but this also does not work. I'll admit very much that I didn't fully understand this method, but it was based on an example code that was given to us without any explanation of what it was doing, so I thought I'd atleast try. It displays the file on the text area, but gives a null pointer exception when I tried to click the max button. http://gyazo.com/27ef7cf9f4bc0c72ecdc3c1f84e6d0f8 Again, appriciate any help. I'm trying to rush a bit cuz my class is coming to me for help cuz last year, I watched a series on java basics in my free time and so had no trouble with our first year work, and they came to me for help. However, I have found no java series or anything on stuff like this, just like specific videos that only help a little. So yeah, really big thanks for any help. :)

}
Your storing your values into temporary local (local to the while loop) variables.
These variables are re-assigned every loop so you lose the information.
You can do one of two things:
Calculate the running SUM, and number of rows in order to calculate the average at the end. Average = SUM / COUNT
Store all values in arraylists, and calculate average at the end.
Example:
double c4avg=0, c5avg=0, c6avg=0;
while((line = in.readLine()) != null){
builder.append(line);
builder.append("\n");
index++; //increment the index to move the next one up for the next line
String temp[] = line.split(",");
//Calculate Running Sum stored in AVG variable
c4avg += Double.parseDouble(temp[3]);
c5avg += Double.parseDouble(temp[4]);
c6avg += Double.parseDouble(temp[5]);
}
//Divide by total rows to get average
c4avg/=index;
c5avg/=index;
c6avg/=index;
I was wondering how I would be able to account for spaces in my Calculator program. Right now it is set up to only work if there is a space after every value. I want it to be able to work if there is multiple spaces as well. I tried doing something (in my action performed, under the '=' sign test), but it didn't really work. So wanted to know how I could make it account for multiple spaces (like if there are more than one space before the next value, then it should recognize that that is the case, and delete the extra spaces).

This method requires knowledge of regular expressions. For each string, simply replace any instance of multiple consecutive spaces with a single space. In other words, using regular expressions, you would replace "\\s+", which means "more than one space," with " ", which is just the space character.
Example:
String c = ...
c = c.replaceAll("\\s+", " ");
String str = "your string";
Pattern _pattern = Pattern.compile("\\s+");
Matcher matcher = _pattern.matcher(str);
str = matcher.replaceAll(" ");
Instead of using a substring, use a Scanner which takes a String as a parameter.
Or you can disable the "Space" button after it's pressed, enabling it back, when a different button is pressed.
If b is not empty you could try looking at the previous character using charAt and if it is a space do nothing.

Okay there's the whole code< the error is now on line 151 and 149... I've also tried to fix it according to one of the posts
You can't use array subscripts: [], to index into a String, and both hidden and original are Strings.
You can instead use original.charAt(i) to read a character at an index.
As for writing a character at an index: java Strings are immutable, so you can't change individual characters. Instead make hidden a StringBuilder, or simply a char[]:
// in your class member declarations:
char hidden[] = createHidden();
// possible implementation of createHidden:
char[] createHidden()
{
if (original != null)
return new char[original.length()];
else return null;
}
And then your loop can use original.charAt like so:
if (this.original.charAt(i) == input)
{
found = true;
this.hidden[i] = this.original.charAt(i);
1. As you are using original.length() its a String, as length() method works with String, not with Array, as for array, length is an Instance variable.
2. Try it like this....
this.hidden[i] = original.charAt(i);
3. And as char is Not an object but a primitive, use "=="
if (this.original[i] == input)
I'm using an object of JTextArea in my application which deals with sending sms.
I've used a DocumentFilter so as to allow only 160 characters to be typed in the textarea but now, I want the size of the textarea to be constant. it goes on increasing if I keep writing on the same line without pressing 'enter' key or even when I keep on pressing only Enter key. I tried once using 'scrollbar' too but the problem remains same. Suggest me something over this. Below is my code. Please check it.

Sound like you are creating the text area using
JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
When using this format the text area doesn't have a preferred size so it keeps on growing. If you use:
JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea(2, 30);
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( textArea );
Then the text area will have a preferred size of 2 rows and (roughly) 30 columns. As you type when you exceed the preferred width the horizontal scrollbar will appear. Or if you turn on wrapping, then the text will wrap and a vertical scrollbar will appear.
you need to specify:
textArea.setColumns (160);
textArea.setLineWrap (true);
textArea.setWrapStyleWord (false); //default
But the real problem is that you allow to input more than 160 characters. You need to create some kind of validator which will skip all inputed characters when there are already 160 characters written.
Initialise the textArea with a document that extends PlainDocument and in the insertString method limit the characters to 160
