Set a JFrame to appear in center not working? - java

I am developing a swing application and I created a log in form. I set it appear in center of the screen but not working :( I tried two ways (1) and (2) but both not working.
I cant understand why. Because both of the solutions were in this site.
My Code:
public class LoginForm extends javax.swing.JFrame {
public LoginForm() {
/*Dimension dim = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
this.setLocation(dim.width/2-this.getSize().width/2, dim.height/2- this.getSize().height/2);*/ // ----> (1)
setLocationRelativeTo(null); // ----> (2)
initComponents();

Your order is off:
Add components first.
Then pack()
Then setLocationRelativeTo(null) -- you're doing this too early
Then setVisible(true)

setLocationRelativeTo will use the frames current size to determine how best to achieve the desired results. Seen as you've not actually added anything to the frame AND you've not set it's size, the only value it has to go on is 0x0 (size).
Try move setLocationRelativeTo after initComponents, but adding pack before you call it, for example...
public LoginForm() {
/*Dimension dim = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
this.setLocation(dim.width/2-this.getSize().width/2, dim.height/2- this.getSize().height/2);*/ // ----> (1)
initComponents();
pack();
setLocationRelativeTo(null); // ----> (2)
}

If you are using **netBeanIDE 7.**3. you may do this as.
->in design ,right click -> select properties and
and checked generate center.it will solve your problem without looking into code.
Hope it may help u.

You can do this via a JLabel and a method to support the winner logic.
int xWinCount = 0;
int oWinCount = 0;
private void incrementWinner( String winner )
{
if( "X".equals( winner ) )
{
xWinCount += 1;
}
else
{
oWinCount += 1;
}
}
And then call this in your winEffect method as below.
incrementWinner( b1.getText() );
jLabelWinner.setText( "X wins : " + xWinCount + " | O wins : " + oWinCount );
jLabelWinner is defined in the initComponent method as below
jLabelWinner = new javax.swing.JLabel();
jLabelWinner.setFont( new java.awt.Font( "Tahoma", 1, 18 ) );
jLabelWinner.setText( "Win Status" );
And then, add this to the layout.

Styling and reseting is up to you. This is one way to do what you want
To do this you can use two integers which will hold the score of each player and display them somehow on the screen, for this I just printed out the score in the console, but you can do whatever you like. The resulting print message is:
Current score:
X = 1 VS O = 0
Heres the code:
//Add the two integers to hold them, in my IDE this shows line 14
int xScore = 0, oScore = 0;
Then you increase the value of the integers when a win is detected, i did this adding the following lines of code in your winEffect() method. I also disabled the buttons when a win is called so that theu cannot keep adding Xs or Os even after the game has ended, and this also prevents the method from being trigerred again, which would increase the score again. im my IDE this shows line 29, it is the end of the winEffect:
if (b1.getText().equals("X")) xScore++;
else if (b1.getText().equals("O")) oScore++;
for (Component comp : jPanel2.getComponents())
if (comp instanceof JButton)
comp.setEnabled(false);
System.out.printf("Current score:\n X = %d VS O = %d\n\n", xScore, oScore);
After that, you need to reenable the buttons when the restart button is pressed, so inside your jButtonReplayActionPerformed() method I reenabled them using the following, in my IDE this shows line 309:
for(Component comp : comps){
if(comp instanceof JButton){
JButton button = (JButton)comp;
button.setText("");
button.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
jLabelMSG.setText("Start");
button.setEnabled(true);
}
}

Insert panels on a JScrollPane in a dynamic way

I am working on an application that has to show a list of elements belonging to text documents (Notes).
If from the SWING editor of NetBeans itself the elements are duplicated, everything works correctly. The problem comes when I do it from code by manually adding the elements with the function (add ()).
I need to make a scrollable list which is composed of panels that include their own elements.

If from the SWING editor of NetBeans itself the elements are duplicated, everything works correctly. The problem comes when I do it from code by manually adding the elements with the function (add ()).
The problem is NetBeans generates layout code using the GroupLayout. GroupLayout is complicated and requires multiple constraints to be supplied when you add components to the panel.
So when you use the add(...) method you need to provide the same constraints that NetBeans does.
However, the simpler solution is to not use NetBeans to generate your GUI code. Instead you can take control of the layout management and make your code simpler and easier to maintain.
For example you can do something like:
Box children = Box.createVerticalBox();
JPanel wrapper = new JPanel( new BorderLayout() );
wrapper.add(children, BorderLayout.Page_Start);
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( wrapper );
frame.add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER)'
Now whenever you want to add a new panel to the scroll pane you simply do:
children.add( a new child panel );
children.revalidate();
The above code replaces all the GroupLayout code generated by the IDE.
Another option might be to use a GridBagLayout. It allows you to add components to cells on the panel.
Take the time to learn how to use layout managers. Start by reading the Swing tutorial on Layout Managers.

Java Create an empty .ser file on resource folder if not exists yet

I want to create an empty .ser file to store an arraylist of objects if not created yet, to use later in program .I will add if not exist check later after figuring out my current problem.I am having a nullpointer exception on my File = new File(etc etc) row.Here is a better explanation with the screenshot.

this.getClass().getResource("/text/menu.ser")
will return null if "/text/menu.ser" does not exists. Consequently,
this.getClass().getResource("/text/menu.ser").toString()
will result in a NullPointerException.
Moreover, getResource returns an URL instance and an URL's string reprensentation (e.g. file:/home/user3524633/text/menu.ser) is not the same as a local file system path (which is what you want to use with the File constructor).
Why are you using getResource in the first place? Are you trying to determine a path relative to your application's classes?

Java: NullPointerException in Jframe when hiding buttons

I am working on a quiz for a school assignment and i am attempting to create a GUI using JFrame. I had an idea to make all the buttons invisible and only appear after clicking the start button. However when I attempted to do so by using the .setVisible(false) command in the main method, it gives me a nullpointerexception. I am unsure about whats wrong and I am hoping someone could give me some pointers. Here's my code:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class QuizGUI extends javax.swing.JFrame {
/**
* Creates new form QuizGUI
*/
public QuizGUI() {
initComponents();
}
/**
* This method is called from within the constructor to initialize the form.
* WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is always
* regenerated by the Form Editor.

Thanks in advance!
You are initializing the buttons inside the constructor of your class which is called after the
Q1.setVisible(false);
Q2.setVisible(false);
Q3.setVisible(false);
Q4.setVisible(false);
Q5.setVisible(false);
Bonus.setVisible(false);
EndQuiz.setVisible(false);
part of code which causes the exception. What you need to do is include this snippet inside
/* Create and display the form */
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(() -> {
new QuizGUI().setVisible(true);
});
and it should be OK.
