Add images in an array by selecting images from file chooser

In this program, I am trying to select images from users using filechooser and then displaying those images. By default I added 2 images. When I add more images it doesn't display?
Below is my entire code

}

Problem is in this line
ImageIcon tImage=new ImageIcon("selectedFile.getName().toString()");
you need to remove double-quotes in order to read actual file name.
ImageIcon tImage=new ImageIcon(selectedFile.getName().toString());
Hope this helps.

Open new JFrame with JButton Click - Java Swing

I am trying to open a new JFrame window with a button click event. There is lots of info on this site but nothing that helps me because I think it is not so much the code I have, but the order it is executed (however I am uncertain).
This is the code for the frame holding the button that I want to initiate the event:
package messing with swing;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class ReportGUI extends JFrame{

private JButton viewAllReports = new JButton("View All Program Details");
private JButton viewPrograms = new JButton("View Programs and Majors Associated with this course");
private JButton viewTaughtCourses = new JButton("View Courses this Examiner Teaches");
private JLabel courseLabel = new JLabel("Select a Course: ");
private JLabel examinerLabel = new JLabel("Select an Examiner: ");
private JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(6,2,4,4));
private ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
private ArrayList<String> courseList = new ArrayList<String>();
public ReportGUI(){
reportInterface();
allReportsBtn();
examinnerFileRead();
courseFileRead();
comboBoxes();
}
private void examinnerFileRead(){
try{
Scanner scan = new Scanner(new File("Examiner.txt"));
while(scan.hasNextLine()){
list.add(scan.nextLine());
}
scan.close();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private void courseFileRead(){
try{
Scanner scan = new Scanner(new File("Course.txt"));
while(scan.hasNextLine()){
courseList.add(scan.nextLine());
}
scan.close();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private void reportInterface(){
setTitle("Choose Report Specifications");
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
JPanel panel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
setSize(650,200);
setVisible(true);
setResizable(false);
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
}
private void allReportsBtn(){
JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,1));
panel.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(70, 50, 70, 25));
panel.add(viewAllReports);
viewAllReports.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
JFrame AllDataGUI = new JFrame();
new AllDataGUI();
}
});
add(panel, BorderLayout.LINE_END);
}
private void comboBoxes(){
panel.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(0, 5, 5, 10));
String[] comboBox1Array = list.toArray(new String[list.size()]);
JComboBox comboBox1 = new JComboBox(comboBox1Array);
panel.add(examinerLabel);
panel.add(comboBox1);
panel.add(viewTaughtCourses);
viewTaughtCourses.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JFrame ViewCourseGUI = new JFrame();
new ViewCourseGUI();
}
});
String[] comboBox2Array = courseList.toArray(new String[courseList.size()]);
JComboBox comboBox2 = new JComboBox(comboBox2Array);
panel.add(courseLabel);
panel.add(comboBox2);
panel.add(viewPrograms);
add(panel, BorderLayout.LINE_START);
}
If you don't want to delve into the above code, the button ActionListener is here:
panel.add(viewTaughtCourses);
viewTaughtCourses.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JFrame ViewCourseGUI = new JFrame();
new ViewCourseGUI();
}
});
This is the code in the class holding the JFrame I want to open:
package messing with swing;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;

public class ViewCourseGUI extends JFrame{
private JButton saveCloseBtn = new JButton("Save Changes and Close");
private JButton closeButton = new JButton("Exit Without Saving");
private JFrame frame=new JFrame("Courses taught by this examiner");
private JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
public void ViewCoursesGUI(){

}
private void panels(){
JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,1));
panel.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
JPanel rightPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(15,0,10,10));
rightPanel.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(15, 5, 5, 10));
JScrollPane scrollBarForTextArea=new JScrollPane(textArea,JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED,JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
panel.add(scrollBarForTextArea);
frame.add(panel);
frame.getContentPane().add(rightPanel,BorderLayout.EAST);
rightPanel.add(saveCloseBtn);
rightPanel.add(closeButton);
frame.setSize(1000, 700);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
}
}
Could someone please point me in the right direction?

As pointed out by PM 77-3
I had:
public void ViewCoursesGUI(){
panels();
}
When I should have had:
public ViewCourseGUI(){
panels();
}
A Combination of syntax and spelling errors.

Set the visibility of the JFrame you want to open, to true in the actionListener:
ViewCourseGUI viewCourseGUI = new ViewCourseGUI();
viewCourseGUI.setVisible(true);
This will open the new JFrame window once you click the button.

Let ReportGUI implement ActionListener. Then you will implement actionPerformed for the button click. On button click, create the second frame (if it doesn't exist). Finally, set the second frame visible (if it is currently not visible):
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class ReportGUI extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 8679886300517958494L;
private JButton button;
private ViewCourseGUI frame2 = null;
public ReportGUI() {
//frame1 stuff
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setSize(300,200);
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
//create button
button = new JButton("Open other frame");
button.addActionListener(this);
add(button);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
ReportGUI frame = new ReportGUI();
frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (e.getSource() == button) {
if (frame2 == null)
frame2 = new ViewCourseGUI();
if (!frame2.isVisible())
frame2.setVisible(true);
}
}
}
This is a simple example. You'll have to add the rest of your code here.

Basic Multiply and Divide Java GUI

I am trying to have the number the user inputs into the frame either multiply by 2 or divide by 3 depending on which button they decide to click. I am having an hard time with working out the logic to do this. I know this needs to take place in the actionperformed method.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Quiz4 extends JFrame ActionListener
{
// Global Variable Declarations
// Our list input fields
private JLabel valueLabel = new JLabel("Enter a value between 1 and 20: ");
private JTextField valueField = new JTextField(25);
// create action buttons
private JButton multiButton = new JButton("x2");
private JButton divideButton = new JButton("/3");
private JScrollPane displayScrollPane;
private JTextArea display = new JTextArea(10,5);
// input number
private BufferedReader infirst;
// output number
private NumberWriter outNum;
public Quiz4()
{
//super("List Difference Tool");
getContentPane().setLayout( new BorderLayout() );
// create our input panel
JPanel inputPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,1));
inputPanel.add(valueLabel);
inputPanel.add(valueField);
getContentPane().add(inputPanel,"Center");
// create and populate our diffPanel
JPanel diffPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,2,1,1));
diffPanel.add(multiButton);
diffPanel.add(divideButton);
getContentPane().add(diffPanel, "South");
//diffButton.addActionListener(this);
} // Quiz4()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
{
} // actionPerformed()
public static void main(String args[])
{
Quiz4 f = new Quiz4();
f.setSize(1200, 200);
f.setVisible(true);
f.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
{ // Quit the application
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
{
System.exit(0);
}
});
} // main()
} // end of class

Here's something simpler, but it essentially does what you want out of your program. I added an ActionListener to each of the buttons to handle what I want, which was to respond to what was typed into the textbox. I just attach the ActionListener to the button, and then in the actionPerformed method, I define what I want to happen.
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class Quizx extends JFrame {
private JPanel panel;
private JTextField textfield;
private JLabel ansLabel;
public Quizx() {
panel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
this.getContentPane().add(panel);
addLabel();
addTextField();
addButtons();
addAnswerLabel();
this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
this.setTitle("Quiz 4");
this.setSize(220, 150);
this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
this.setResizable(false);
this.setVisible(true);
}
private void addTextField() {
textfield = new JTextField();
textfield.setColumns(9);
panel.add(textfield);
}
private void addButtons() {
JButton multButton = new JButton("x2");
JButton divButton = new JButton("/3");
panel.add(multButton);
panel.add(divButton);
addMultListener(multButton);
addDivListener(divButton);
}
private void addLabel() {
JLabel valueLabel = new JLabel("Enter a value between 1 and 20: ");
panel.add(valueLabel);
}
private void addAnswerLabel() {
ansLabel = new JLabel();
panel.add(ansLabel);
}
private void addMultListener(JButton button) {
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
ansLabel.setText(String.valueOf(Integer.parseInt(textfield.getText().trim()) * 2));
}
});
}
private void addDivListener(JButton button) {
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
ansLabel.setText(String.valueOf(Double.parseDouble(textfield.getText().trim()) /3));
}
});
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
new Quizx();
}
});
}
}
Hope that helps.

(Java) Why is this tabbed pane not working correctly?

Note: I've searched all over the web (this site and others) and cannot answer this myself.
Ok guys. I am a new Java programmer, and we just got done covering tabbed panes. This is the state in which I turned in my assignment: it doesn't work, and I can't figure out why. I've changed so much crap around, I can't keep it straight in my head anymore, but I know it's probably something incredibly simple.
I apologize for the length of the code, but I'm trying to give you the entirety of my code so you can tell me where I jacked it up.
Thanks in advance. -- Also, I'm aware there are other Warnings (i.e. unused imports), but I'm not worried about those. And, this will not affect my grade (as I said, already submitted), but I want to know wtf I did wrong!

You added your JTabbedPane on JPanel.
JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
tabbedPane.addTab("DayGui", new DayGui());
tabbedPane.addTab("OfficeCalc", new OfficeAreaCalculator());
add(tabbedPane);
Since JPanel has a FlowLayout as a default, you have this issue. Set layout of your JPanelto BorderLayout and problem will be solved.
setLayout(new BorderLayout()); //Here
JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
tabbedPane.addTab("DayGui", new DayGui());
tabbedPane.addTab("OfficeCalc", new OfficeAreaCalculator());
add(tabbedPane);
EDIT:
Also, avoid extending your classes with swing components if you don't want to override methods or define new ones. Prefer composition instead of that. I had that same bad habbit.
For example, instead of extending tour TabbedPane1 class with JPanel, it would be better to just create a method which returns customized JTabbedPane. Something like this:
public JTabbedPane getTabbedPane() {
JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
tabbedPane.addTab("DayGui", new DayGui());
tabbedPane.addTab("OfficeCalc", new OfficeAreaCalculator());
return tabbedPane;
}
To call it:
myFrame.add(new TabbedPane1().getTabbedPane(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
This way your class will be "opened" for inheritance.

JProgressbar width using Grid/FlowLayout

I'm working on a downloader which looks like this at the moment:
The JFrame uses a BorderLayout.
In the NORTH, I have a JPanel(FlowLayout). In the SOUTH there is also a JPanel(FlowLayout), in the WEST I just have a JTextArea (in a JScrollPane). This is all shown correctly. However, in the EAST I currently have a JPanel(GridLayout(10, 1)).
I want to show up to 10 JProgressBars in the EAST section which are added and removed from the panel dynamically. The problem is, I can not get them to look like I want to them to look: I want the JProgressBars' width to fill up the entire EAST section because 1) This gives the app a more symmetrical look and 2) The ProgressBars may contain long strings that don't fit at the moment. I've tried putting the JPanel that contains the GridLayout(10, 1) in a flowlayout and then put that flowlayout in the EAST section, but that didn't work either.
My code (SSCCE) is currently as follows:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {

}
private static class DownloadFrame extends JFrame {
private JButton downloadButton;
private JTextField threadIdTextField;
private JTextArea downloadStatusTextArea;
private JScrollPane scrollPane;
private JTextField downloadLocationTextField;

private JPanel North;
private JPanel South;
private JPanel ProgressBarPanel;
private Map<String, JProgressBar> progressBarMap;
public DownloadFrame() {
InitComponents();

AddActionListeners();
setVisible(true);
setSize(700, 300);
}
private void InitComponents() {
downloadButton = new JButton("Dowload");
threadIdTextField = new JTextField(6);
downloadStatusTextArea = new JTextArea(10, 30);
scrollPane = new JScrollPane(downloadStatusTextArea, ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED, ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
downloadLocationTextField = new JTextField(40);
downloadLocationButton = new JButton("...");
North = new JPanel();
South = new JPanel();
ProgressBarPanel = new JPanel();
progressBarMap = new HashMap<String, JProgressBar>();
}
private void InitLayout() {
North.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
South.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
ProgressBarPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(10, 1));
}
private void AddComponents() {
North.add(threadIdTextField);
North.add(downloadButton);
add(North, BorderLayout.NORTH);
add(ProgressBarPanel, BorderLayout.EAST);
South.add(downloadLocationTextField);
South.add(downloadLocationButton);
add(South, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.WEST);
}
private void AddActionListeners() {
downloadButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
addNewProgessBar(threadIdTextField.getText());
}
});
}
public void addNewProgessBar(String threadId) {
JProgressBar progressBar = new JProgressBar();
progressBar.setStringPainted(true);
progressBarMap.put(threadId, progressBar);
drawProgessBars();
}
void drawProgessBars() {
ProgressBarPanel.removeAll();
for (JProgressBar progressBar : progressBarMap.values()) {
ProgressBarPanel.add(progressBar);
}
validate();
repaint();
}
}
}
Thanks in advance.
EDIT
Easiest solution: change
add(ProgressBarPanel, BorderLayout.EAST);
to
add(ProgressBarPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);

well. that possible, but in your example CENTER area occupated some Rectangle, its hard to reduce/remove CENTER area to the zero Size
to the North JPanel (BorderLayout) place another JPanel and put it to the EAST (with LayoutManager would be GridLayout(1,2,10,10)) and put here two JComponents JTextField - threadIdTextField and JButton - downloadButton, there you are needed setPreferredSize 1) for JComponents (correct way) or 2) for whole JPanel (possible way too)
JScrollPane with JTextArea must be placed to the CENTER area
JPanel with JProgressBars place to EAST, but again set same PreferredSize as for JPanel with JTextField and JButton from the NORTH
SOUTH JPanel remains without changes

Please post a compilable runnable small program for the quickest best help, an SSCCE.
Suggestions include using GridLayout(0, 1) (variable number of rows, one column), or display the JProgressBars in a JList that uses a custom renderer that extends JProgressBar.
Edit 1:
I know that Andrew has already posted the accepted answer (and 1+ for an excellent answer), but I just wanted to demonstrate that this can be done readily with a JList, something like so:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.beans.*;
import java.util.Random;
import javax.swing.*;
public class EastProgressList extends JPanel {
private DefaultListModel myListModel = new DefaultListModel();
private JList myList = new JList(myListModel);
private JTextField downloadUrlField = new JTextField(10);
public EastProgressList() {
JButton downLoadBtn = new JButton("Download");
downLoadBtn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
downloadAction();
}
});
JPanel northPanel = new JPanel();
northPanel.add(new JLabel("File to Download:"));
northPanel.add(downloadUrlField);
northPanel.add(Box.createHorizontalStrut(15));
northPanel.add(downLoadBtn);
myList.setCellRenderer(new ProgressBarCellRenderer());
JScrollPane eastSPane = new JScrollPane(myList);
eastSPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 100));
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(new JScrollPane(new JTextArea(20, 30)), BorderLayout.CENTER);
add(northPanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
add(eastSPane, BorderLayout.EAST);
}
private void downloadAction() {
String downloadUrl = downloadUrlField.getText();
final MyData myData = new MyData(downloadUrl);
myListModel.addElement(myData);
myData.addPropertyChangeListener(new PropertyChangeListener() {
public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
if (evt.getPropertyName().equals(MyData.VALUE)) {
myList.repaint();
if (myData.getValue() >= 100) {
myListModel.removeElement(myData);
}
}
}
});
}
private class ProgressBarCellRenderer extends JProgressBar implements ListCellRenderer {
protected ProgressBarCellRenderer() {
setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.blue));
}
public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value,
int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus) {
//setText(value.toString());
MyData myData = (MyData)value;
setValue(myData.getValue());
setString(myData.getText());
setStringPainted(true);
return this;
}
}
private static void createAndShowUI() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("EastProgressList");
frame.getContentPane().add(new EastProgressList());
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
createAndShowUI();
}
});
}
}
class MyData {
public static final int TIMER_DELAY = 300;
public static final String VALUE = "value";
protected static final int MAX_DELTA_VALUE = 5;
private String text;
private int value = 0;
private Random random = new Random();
private PropertyChangeSupport pcSupport = new PropertyChangeSupport(this);
public MyData(String text) {
this.text = text;
new Timer(TIMER_DELAY, new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
int deltaValue = random.nextInt(MAX_DELTA_VALUE);
int newValue = value + deltaValue;
if (newValue >= 100) {
newValue = 100;
((Timer)e.getSource()).stop();
}
setValue(newValue);
}
}).start();
}
public String getText() {
return text;
}
public int getValue() {
return value;
}
public void setValue(int value) {
int oldValue = this.value;
this.value = value;
PropertyChangeEvent pcEvent = new PropertyChangeEvent(this, VALUE, oldValue, value);
pcSupport.firePropertyChange(pcEvent);
}
public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener pcListener) {
pcSupport.addPropertyChangeListener(pcListener);
}
}
This results in a GUI looking like so:
