The SSCCE below is a class that extends JPanel. The JPanel is the basic outline of a calendar (I've stripped it way down for simplicity's sake), and it consists of JButton components, a JLabel, and a JTable. When I add this frame to a window (i.e. JDialog), it appears as normal. However, when I add another component with it, it disappears. Why is this happening, and how can I make this not happen?

JDialogs and all top-level windows use BorderLayout by default. When you add a component to it (actually its contentPane) without specifying the position, you add it to the BorderLayout.CENTER position by default. You are covering up the previously added component whenever you add a new one. You will want to learn about the layouts available for your use and then use them to their best advantage.
e.g.,
dialog.add(panel);
dialog.add(new JLabel("Hello", SwingConstants.CENTER), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
}
Next you'll want to avoid setting the sizes of anything and to be sure to pack() your top level windows that allow this.

I have a JPanel inside of a JScrollPane inside of a GridBagLayout
that is not scrolling properly. What should happen is that every time the
xxx button is pressed, a new line is added inside of the scrolling pane.
What actually happens is that if xxx is pressed, say 10 times, only the
first seven lines show up and the rest can't be scrolled to. Can anyone
suggest changes to the source code below that will make scrolling behave
properly? I have spent hours on this with no success, trying strategies all
over the Web.
Notes:
The text is split in paintComponent because drawString does
not handle end-of-line characters.
The JPanel inside of JScrollPane inside of GridBagLayout configuration is a necessary part of a much larger
piece of software with the same problem, so I have kept it here.
Thanks.

You're short circuiting the ability of your ScrollingPane JPanel from correctly sizing itself with this line:
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 100));
This will fix the size of the ScrollingPane JPanel. I see that you have several possible solutions:
Difficult: override getPreferredSize() for the ScrollingPane JPanel, and calculate the appropriate preferred size based on the size of the text it holds and draws using FontMetrics.
Easier: Don't add text as you're doing, but rather have ScrollingPane use a GridLayout(0, 1) (one column, variable number of rows), and add JLabels to the ScrollingPane when new text is needed to be added. Then call revalidate() and repaint() on it.
Easier still: Don't use a ScrollingPane JPanel but rather a JTextArea, that looks like a JPanel and that can't be edited. Add that to the JScrollPane, and again, do not restrict its size
Easiest: Just use a JList as that's the functionality you are using here.
For instance, either of these would work and would look similar:
private static class ScrollingPane2 extends JPanel {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea(6, 20);
public ScrollingPane2() {
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(textArea, BorderLayout.CENTER);
textArea.setEditable(false);
textArea.setFocusable(false);
textArea.setBackground(null);
}
public void SetText(String text_x) {
textArea.append(text_x + "\n");
}
}
private static class ScrollingPane3 extends JPanel {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private DefaultListModel<String> listModel = new DefaultListModel<>();
private JList<String> jList = new JList<>(listModel);
public ScrollingPane3() {
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(jList, BorderLayout.CENTER);
jList.setBackground(null);
}
public void SetText(String text_x) {
listModel.addElement(text_x);
}
}
For some reason my borders aren't showing for my panels and i am unsure why, is there something i'm missing?
I have a main class which runs the frame class as well as other classes separate to the GUI
This is the code from my frame class:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Frame
{
public static int xsize;
public static int ysize;
public static void main()
{
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
JFrame frame = new MainFrame("Warlock of Firetop Mountain");
//Implementing Toolkit to allow computer to get dimensions of screen and assign them to two int values
Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Frame.xsize = (int) tk.getScreenSize().getWidth();
Frame.ysize = (int) tk.getScreenSize().getHeight();
frame.setTitle("Warlock of Firetop Mountain");
frame.setSize(new Dimension(xsize, ysize));
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setResizable(true);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
}
The frame.java takes its panels from MainFrame.java:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class MainFrame extends JFrame
{
private Panel1 storyPanel;
private Panel2 statsPanel;
private Panel3 commandsPanel;
public MainFrame(String title)
{
super(title);
// Setting Layout
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
storyPanel = new Panel1();
statsPanel = new Panel2();
commandsPanel = new Panel3();
Container p = getContentPane();
p.add(storyPanel, BorderLayout.WEST);
p.add(statsPanel, BorderLayout.EAST);
p.add(commandsPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
}
}
This calls up my three panels which look like this:
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Color;
public class Panel1 extends JPanel
{
public Panel1()
{
//Set size of Panel1
int xsizeP1 = (Frame.xsize / 2);
int ysizeP1 = (Frame.ysize / 3 * 2);
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(xsizeP1, ysizeP1));
setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black));
}
}
when the code runs the window launches as full screen but no borders or possibly panels are visible.
Thanks for any help, sorry if my questions are tedious, i'm relatively new to programming.
This is roughly what i want my panels to look like, eventually ill add in components to the panel and use GridBagConstraints to control the formatting
// this creates the JPanels and sets their preferred sizes
JFrame frame = new MainFrame("Warlock of Firetop Mountain");
//this sets your size static contents -- after the above's been done!
Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Frame.xsize = (int) tk.getScreenSize().getWidth();
Frame.ysize = (int) tk.getScreenSize().getHeight();
You're setting preferred sizes of all your JPanels to 0, 0, and so you're not seeing any borders. Your sizing is being created after you've created your JPanels, and this method of sizing looks dangerous to me.
OK, thanks for posting an image of the desired GUI. My recommendations are:
First and foremost, don't try setting sizes as you're doing.
Instead, let the components and their layout managers size themselves.
Nest JPanels, each using its own layout manager to allow you to simply create complex GUI's.
When displaying images / ImageIcons, let them set the sizes of things as well.
If your GUI starts up with no icons displaying, consider creating a blank ImageIcon with a blank image of the right size as a placeholder icon.
For example, something like this:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.Insets;
import java.awt.Window;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;

Would create this realizable GUI:
Note that the GUI is roughly made, has no functionality other than the enter and exit buttons.
I know that this kind of issue has been discussed here many times, but I'm confused. I'm totally beginner in Java and I honestly don't know what to do and I admit that I don't have that much time to read whole documentation provided by Oracle. Here's my problem:
I'm trying to program a GUI for my program that will be show interference of acoustic waves. Mathematical functionality doesn't matter in here. I've got two classes called Window and Sliders. Window is intended to be a 'main GUI class' and Sliders is supposed to inherit (?) from it.
This comes from another issue that I need to implement ActionListener in class Window and ChangeListener in Sliders class. I heard that one class can't implement several classes that's why I made two.
Now, I wrote a little bit chaotic those two classes, but I don't know how to combine them. It's really silly, but after C++ I'm pretty confused how to tell the program that it is supposed to show in one frame either buttons defined in Window class and sliders defined in Sliders class. Currently it shows only buttons I want to make it showing sliders too.
I'm very sorry for chaotic pseudo code, please help. Please, try to explain as simply as you can/possible. Please feel free to ignore overrided methods, they're not finished yet.

I've done this so far, but those text fields just stopped showing sliders values and I don't know why. They are defined in the Parameters class and Window class. Can someone help? Additionally in the future I'd like to make those text fields editable so that you can set slider value by typing it in the text field.

Window is intended to be a 'main GUI class' and Sliders is supposed to inherit (?) from it.
Nope: this is a misuse of inheritance and will only lead to problems since the Windows instance that Sliders inherently is, is completely distinct from the displayed Windows instance. What you need to do is to pass references.
For example, the following code uses outside classes for the JButton and JMenuItem Actions (Actions are like ActionListeners on steroids), and uses a class that holds a JSlider that allows itside classes to attach listeners to the slider.
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Window;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.ChangeEvent;
import javax.swing.event.ChangeListener;
public class Foo extends JPanel {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private Action helloAction = new HelloAction("Hello", KeyEvent.VK_H);
private Action exitAction = new ExitAction("Exit", KeyEvent.VK_X);
private JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
private JTextField sliderValueField = new JTextField(10);
private Bar bar = new Bar();
public Foo() {
sliderValueField.setEditable(false);
sliderValueField.setFocusable(false);
add(new JButton(helloAction));
add(new JButton(exitAction));
add(new JLabel("Slider Value: "));
add(sliderValueField);
add(bar);
JMenu fileMenu = new JMenu("File");
fileMenu.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_F);
fileMenu.add(new JMenuItem(exitAction));
fileMenu.add(new JMenuItem(helloAction));
menuBar.add(fileMenu);
bar.addSliderListener(new ChangeListener() {
#Override
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
int sliderValue = bar.getSliderValue();
sliderValueField.setText(String.valueOf(sliderValue));
}
});
}
public JMenuBar getJMenuBar() {
return menuBar;
}
private static void createAndShowGui() {
Foo mainPanel = new Foo();
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Foo");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
frame.getContentPane().add(mainPanel);
frame.setJMenuBar(mainPanel.getJMenuBar());
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
createAndShowGui();
}
});
}
}
class HelloAction extends AbstractAction {
public HelloAction(String name, int mnemonic) {
super(name); // sets name property and gives button its title
putValue(MNEMONIC_KEY, mnemonic);
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Hello!");
}
}
class ExitAction extends AbstractAction {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public ExitAction(String name, int mnemonic) {
super(name);
putValue(MNEMONIC_KEY, mnemonic);
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
Component component = (Component) e.getSource();
Window win = SwingUtilities.getWindowAncestor(component);
if (win == null) {
// if no window, then a JMenuItem held in a JPopupMenu
JPopupMenu popup = (JPopupMenu) component.getParent();
component = popup.getInvoker();
win = SwingUtilities.getWindowAncestor(component);
}
win.dispose();
}
}
class Bar extends JPanel {
private JSlider slider = new JSlider(0, 100, 50);
public Bar() {
slider.setPaintLabels(true);
slider.setPaintTicks(true);
slider.setMajorTickSpacing(20);
slider.setMinorTickSpacing(5);
slider.setSnapToTicks(true);
setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Slider Panel"));
add(slider);
}
public int getSliderValue() {
return slider.getValue();
}
// one way to let outside classes listen for changes
public void addSliderListener(ChangeListener listener) {
slider.addChangeListener(listener);
}
}
You ask about decimal labels, and yes this can be done but requires use of a label table. For example,
JSlider slider = new JSlider(0, 100, 50);
slider.setPaintLabels(true);
slider.setPaintTicks(true);
slider.setMajorTickSpacing(20);
slider.setMinorTickSpacing(2);
Dictionary<Integer, JLabel> labels = new Hashtable<>();
for (int i = 0; i <= 100; i += 20) {
labels.put(i, new JLabel(String.format("%.1f", i / 200.0)));
}
slider.setLabelTable(labels);
Which displays as:
You would also have to translate the value back from int to its corresponding floating point number.
So this is my runner that runs my entire game. CharacterGame, CharacterChoice and CharacterHead are all classes that contain graphics and paint. I was hoping to be able to call separate parts from these classes into the graphics by the remove and repaint located in one of my button's code. Right now its just updating the Frame with more and more panels instead of removing the old panels and adding these panels into the old panels place. I hope this makes sense as I am a bit new to graphics and may not have thought of the best way to do this. If anyone can shed some light into how to do this, I will be very grateful. Thanks! I've tried everything I can think of... from removeAll methods to repaint. I can't think of anything else to do.
The part not working is located in the ShowButtonDemo() in the choice1Button listener.
public class GraphicsRunner extends JFrame
{
private static final int WIDTH = 1280;
private static final int HEIGHT = 980;
private JFrame mainframe;
private JPanel controlPanel;
private JPanel headPanel;
private JPanel gamePanel;
private JPanel choicePanel;
private int gameInt = 0;
private int choiceInt = 0;
private int endGame = 0;
public GraphicsRunner()
{
super("Stranded...");
mainframe = new JFrame();
mainframe.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
mainframe.setSize(WIDTH,HEIGHT);
mainframe.setLayout(new GridLayout(4, 0));
mainframe.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent windowEvent){
System.exit(0);
}
});
headPanel = new JPanel();
gamePanel = new JPanel();
choicePanel = new JPanel();
controlPanel = new JPanel();
controlPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
headPanel = new CharacterHeading();
gamePanel = new CharacterGame(gameInt);
choicePanel = new CharacterChoice(choiceInt);
mainframe.add(headPanel);
mainframe.add(gamePanel);
mainframe.add(choicePanel);
mainframe.add(controlPanel);
mainframe.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
mainframe.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main( String args[] )
{
GraphicsRunner run = new GraphicsRunner();
run.showButtonDemo();
}
private void showButtonDemo(){
JButton choice1Button = new JButton("Choice #1");
JButton choice2Button = new JButton("Choice #2");
JButton choice3Button = new JButton("Choice #3");
choice3Button.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.LEFT);
choice1Button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
gameInt = gameInt + 1;
choiceInt = choiceInt + 1;
gamePanel = new CharacterGame(gameInt);
//This is the part I am currently working on and I was hoping
//it would remove the panel instead of just removing the
//content on the panel...
mainframe.remove(headPanel);
mainframe.remove(gamePanel);
mainframe.remove(choicePanel);
mainframe.remove(controlPanel);
mainframe.add(headPanel, 0);
mainframe.add(gamePanel, 1);
mainframe.add(choicePanel, 2);
mainframe.add(controlPanel, 3);
mainframe.revalidate();
mainframe.repaint();
System.out.println(gameInt);
}

I want to add multiple jpanels to jpanel.So i added a root panel to jscrollpane.and then added all individual jpanels to this root panel.I made jscrollpane's scrolling policy as needed.i.e HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED,VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED.
But the problem is all individual panels are not shown inside root panel.
Code:
JScrollPane scPanel=new JScrollPane();
JPanel rootPanel=new JPanel();
rootPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
JPanel indPanel = new JPanel();
rootPanel.add(indPanel);
JPanel indPanel2 = new JPanel();
rootPanel.add(indPanel2);
//.....like this added indPanals to rootPanel.
scPanel.setViewPortView(rootPanel);
//scPanel.setHorizontalScrollPolicy(HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
And one more thing is, as i scroll the scrollbar the panels are going out of jscrollpane area.
I am not able to see all individual panels,
Please suggest me.
Edit: code snippet from double post:
MosaicFilesStatusBean mosaicFilesStatusBean = new MosaicFilesStatusBean();
DefaultTableModel tableModel = null;
tableModel = mosaicFilesStatusBean.getFilesStatusBetweenDates(startDate, endDate);
if (tableModel != null) {
rootPanel.removeAll();
rootPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(rootPanel, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
for (int tempRow = 0; tempRow < tableModel.getRowCount(); tempRow++) {
int fileIdTemp = Integer.parseInt(tableModel.getValueAt(tempRow, 0).toString());
String dateFromTemp = tableModel.getValueAt(tempRow, 3).toString();
String dateToTemp = tableModel.getValueAt(tempRow, 4).toString();
int processIdTemp = Integer.parseInt(tableModel.getValueAt(tempRow, 5).toString());
int statusIdTemp = Integer.parseInt(tableModel.getValueAt(tempRow, 6).toString());
String operatingDateTemp = tableModel.getValueAt(tempRow, 7).toString();
MosaicPanel tempPanel =
new MosaicPanel(fileIdTemp, dateFromTemp, dateToTemp, processIdTemp, statusIdTemp, operatingDateTemp);
rootPanel.add(tempPanel);
}
rootPanel.revalidate();
}
The main reason, why you couldn't see your JPanel is that you are using FlowLayout as the LayoutManager for the rootPanel. And since your JPanel added to this rootPanel has nothing inside it, hence it will take it's size as 0, 0, for width and height respectively. Though using GridLayout such situation shouldn't come. Have a look at this code example attached :
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class PanelAddition
{
private void createAndDisplayGUI()
{
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Panel Addition Example");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.setLayout(new GridLayout(0, 1));
JScrollPane scroller = new JScrollPane();
CustomPanel panel = new CustomPanel(1);
contentPane.add(panel);
scroller.setViewportView(contentPane);
frame.getContentPane().add(scroller, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
frame.setVisible(true);
for (int i = 2; i < 20; i++)
{
CustomPanel pane = new CustomPanel(i);
contentPane.add(pane);
contentPane.revalidate();
contentPane.repaint();
}
}
public static void main(String... args)
{
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
new PanelAddition().createAndDisplayGUI();
}
});
}
}
class CustomPanel extends JPanel
{
public CustomPanel(int num)
{
JLabel label = new JLabel("" + num);
add(label);
}
#Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize()
{
return (new Dimension(200, 50));
}
}
Don't use FlowLayout for the rootPanel. Instead consider using BoxLayout:
JPanel rootPanel=new JPanel();
// if you want to stack JPanels vertically:
rootPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(rootPanel, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
Edit 1
Here's an SSCCE that's loosely based on your latest code posted:
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.util.Random;
import javax.swing.*;
#SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class PanelsEg extends JPanel {
private static final int MAX_ROW_COUNT = 100;
private Random random = new Random();
private JPanel rootPanel = new JPanel();
public PanelsEg() {
rootPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(rootPanel, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(rootPanel);
scrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 400)); // sorry kleopatra
add(scrollPane);
add(new JButton(new AbstractAction("Foo") {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
foo();
}
}));
}
public void foo() {
rootPanel.removeAll();
// rootPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(rootPanel, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS)); // only need to set layout once
int rowCount = random.nextInt(MAX_ROW_COUNT);
for (int tempRow = 0; tempRow < rowCount ; tempRow++) {
int fileIdTemp = tempRow;
String data = "Data " + (tempRow + 1);
MosaicPanel tempPanel =
new MosaicPanel(fileIdTemp, data);
rootPanel.add(tempPanel);
}
rootPanel.revalidate();
rootPanel.repaint(); // don't forget to repaint if removing
}
private class MosaicPanel extends JPanel {
public MosaicPanel(int fileIdTemp, String data) {
add(new JLabel(data));
}
}
private static void createAndShowGui() {
PanelsEg mainPanel = new PanelsEg();
JFrame frame = new JFrame("PanelsEg");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.getContentPane().add(mainPanel);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
createAndShowGui();
}
});
}
}
This SSCCE works, in that it easily shows removing and adding JPanels to another JPanel that is held by a JScrollPane. If you're still having a problem, you should modify this SSCCE so that it shows your problem.
