I'm new to java and I'm trying to swap out the text on a Button I've created. The code for my main class is as follows:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.lang.*;
public class TeamProject extends Applet implements ActionListener, MouseListener
{
char[][] charValues = new char[10][10];
Table aTable;
boolean allowUserInput = false;
Button BtnStart;
Button randomChangeBtn;
boolean guessMode;
private AudioClip[] sounds = new AudioClip[5];
private int counter = 0;
//JSObject jso;
public void init()
{
//setup buttons
BtnStart = new Button("add row/column");
BtnStart.addActionListener((ActionListener)this); //cast
randomChangeBtn = new Button("change one value");
randomChangeBtn.addActionListener((ActionListener)this);
//add button
this.add(BtnStart);
//add image to Image objects
Image imgO = getImage(getCodeBase(), "images/not.gif");
Image imgX= getImage(getCodeBase(), "images/cross.gif");
//setup table
aTable = new Table(100, 100, 75, 55, 5, 5, imgX, imgO);
//setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
super.resize(700, 700);
//add mouse listener
addMouseListener(this);
//initially guessMode will be false
guessMode = false;
//to talk to javascript
//jso = JSObject.getWindow(this);
sounds[0] = getAudioClip (getCodeBase(), "images/buzzthruloud.wav");
sounds[1] = getAudioClip (getCodeBase(), "images/inconceivable4.wav");
sounds[2] = getAudioClip (getCodeBase(), "images/foghorn.wav");
sounds[3] = getAudioClip (getCodeBase(), "images/waiting.wav");
sounds[4] = getAudioClip (getCodeBase(), "images/whistldn.wav");
}
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.setColor(Color.black);
aTable.draw(g);
}
//Mouse listener methods
public void mousePressed (MouseEvent e)
{
if(!guessMode){
if ((allowUserInput)){
aTable.swapSquareValue(e.getX(), e.getY());
repaint();
}
}
else{
System.out.println("guessed row = " + e.getY() + " guessed col = " + e.getX());
if(aTable.checkGuess(e.getX(), e.getY())){
int n = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, "Excellent!! Would you like to progress to next level",
"Correct!!!", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
if (n == JOpionPane.YES_OPTION) {
}
else{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Nope", "alert", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
sounds[counter].play();
}
//repaint();
}
}
public void mouseClicked (MouseEvent e) {}
public void mouseEntered (MouseEvent e) {}
public void mouseReleased (MouseEvent e) {}
public void mouseExited (MouseEvent e) {}
//Button action listener
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
if (e.getSource() == BtnStart) {
aTable.addRow();
aTable.addColumn();
BtnStart.setText("Roseindia.net");
//this.remove(BtnStart);
//this.add(randomChangeBtn);
super.resize(700, 700);
repaint();
}
else if (e.getSource() == randomChangeBtn) {
aTable.randomChangeFunc();
repaint();
guessMode = true;
}
allowUserInput = true;
System.out.println(aTable.toString());
}
}
I'm trying to change to text in my actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) method. Like I said, I'm new, so please be gentle. Thanks :)
You are using java.awt.Button. There is no setText() method in the java.awt.Button. You may use setLabel(String) instead.
And you do not have to import java.lang.* either since the java.lang package is available to all your Java programs by default.
If you change the line:
Button BtnStart;
to
JButton BtnStart;
and
BtnStart = new Button("add row/column");
to
BtnStart = new JButton("add row/column");
then you will be using the Swing Button and you will be able to call setText();
The first thing you need to know is are you trying to create an Applet using AWT or Swing components. You import the Swing classes but are using AWT components. Most people these days use Swing.
In Swing your would never override the paint() method of the Applet. You would start by extending JApplet, then you would simply add components to the content pane of the applet. If you need to do custom painting then you do that by overriding the paintComponent() method of a JComponent or JPanel.
Start by reading the Swing tutorial for working examples of using applets.
As you said that you want to swap the text then you should use the setLabel() method instead of setText, but for changing the text of a Label then you can use the setText() method.

I am trying to make this program for minecraft, and now im just getting started. I want that if you click a label, it will check what label is it and will do something.
addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me) {
System.out.println(me.getX()+", "+me.getY()+".");
Object source = me.getSource();
int intx = me.getX();
int inty = me.getY();
if(me.getX()>=1 && me.getY()>=1 && me.getX()<=70 && me.getY()<=45){
permissionsframe.setLocation(810,250);
System.out.println(p1p.length);
permissionsframe.pack();
permissionsframe.setSize(200, 200);
permissionsframe.setVisible(true);
JLabel playerperms = new JLabel("Player "+p1s+" has "+p1p.length+" permissions.");
playerperms.setBounds(1, 1, 150, 150);
permissionsframe.add(playerperms);
System.out.println("You chose "+player1.getText()+".");
}
else{
System.out.println("You did not click any label.");
}
}
});
This selection area is adapted to the name I have now - NonameSL. But if the name will be longer or shorter, the selection area will obviuosly be different...
Is there a way to get the excact label? I tried if(source.equals(player1))(Player 1 is the label) but I placed the label in 1, 1 and I have to click the excact point that I defined the label in, X=1, Y=1. How can I make a mouse listener listen to a label?
There is no need to check if the mouse coordinates are inside your JLabel.
You can bind a Listener to every JLabel an process the click/press event in your MyMouseListener.class
To do so:
You have to add the MouseListener to every JLabel:
MyMouseListener myMouseListener = new MyMouseListener();
label01.setName("name01");
label01.addMouseListener(myMouseListener);
label02.setName("name02");
label02.addMouseListener(myMouseListener);
To identify the JLabel you could do something like this:
class MyMouseListener extends MouseAdapter {
#Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
JLabel l = (JLabel) e.getSource();
if(l.getName().equals("name01"))
doSomething01();
else if(l.getName().equals("name02"))
doSomething02();
}
}
The correct way to do this is to use the .getComponent() method instead of the .getSource() since this is MouseEvent which is something different than ActionEvent.
Implement the Listener to your class:
public class Main implements MouseListener {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//setup JFrame and some label and then
label.addMouseListener(this);
}
#Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
if (e.getComponent().equals(label)) {
System.out.println("clicked");
}
}
//the other orderride methods..
I want to implement a method where the user needs to hold the left and right mouse buttons at the same time.
I'm using Swing and Java 1.7. I've tried this, but it doesn't detect the both-buttons case like I'd expect it to:
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
if (SwingUtilities.isLeftMouseButton(e) && SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(e)){
///code here
}
}
i tried to separate methods and use bool values to decide if the mouse button is pressed and then i set a condition to find out if both of them are pressed at the same time , but that didint work out too ..
This is an SSCCE that does what you want... i.e. if I understood your question correctly.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class StackOverflow15957076 extends MouseAdapter
{
private JLabel status;
private boolean isLeftPressed;
private boolean isRightPressed;
public StackOverflow15957076 ()
{
JFrame frame = new JFrame ();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
JPanel panel = new JPanel (new FlowLayout (FlowLayout.CENTER));
status = new JLabel ("waiting for both mouse buttons...");
status.addMouseListener (this);
panel.add (status);
frame.add (panel);
frame.pack ();
frame.setVisible (true);
isLeftPressed = false;
isRightPressed = false;
}
#Override
public void mousePressed (MouseEvent e)
{
if (SwingUtilities.isLeftMouseButton (e))
{
isLeftPressed = true;
}
else if (SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton (e))
{
isRightPressed = true;
}
if (isLeftPressed && isRightPressed)
{
status.setText ("both buttons are pressed");
}
}
#Override
public void mouseReleased (MouseEvent e)
{
if (SwingUtilities.isLeftMouseButton (e))
{
isLeftPressed = false;
}
else if (SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton (e))
{
isRightPressed = false;
}
status.setText ("waiting for both mouse buttons...");
}
public static void main (String[] args)
{
SwingUtilities.invokeLater (new Runnable ()
{
#Override
public void run ()
{
new StackOverflow15957076 ();
}
});
}
}
It seems that it's not possible do it directly, since mouse events are fired sequentially. See, for example, this SO question/answers.
So you will need to decide what "at the same time" actually means to you (i.e. how close in time thay should be). Then you can capture two separate events and compare their getWhen() values.
I have a simple code here which adds a label after being clicked. it works fine, but in order to the label to be added i have to drag or reize the window after clicking the button.
Here is my code:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class server01 extends Applet implements ActionListener {
Label helloLabel = new Label("applet v 0.0.1 | created for testing purpose");
Label hello2Label = new Label("this applet will be up-to-date.");
Button buttonButton = new Button("START" + " Button");
Label buttonLabel = new Label("Starting server...");
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public void init() {
setBackground(Color.black);
setForeground(Color.white);
buttonButton.setForeground(Color.black);
add(helloLabel);
add(hello2Label);
add(buttonButton);
buttonButton.addActionListener(this);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (e.getSource() == buttonButton) {
add(buttonLabel);
}
}
}
use repaint() method in actionPerformed() - (At the method ending) method.
It will repaint the applet window and will run again adding your label.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
{
/*
your code here..
*/
repaint();
}
You need to call the validate method after making gui changes so that the applet can check if it is still rendered correctly.
Doing a resize will basically do the same thing.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (e.getSource() == buttonButton) {
add(buttonLabel);
validate();
}
}
Hi I want to make my JPanel disappear so I wrote these lines of code
removeAll();
updateUI();
revalidate();
That only made the JComponents and JButtons disappear. I would like to make the images that I have displayed with the paint method disappear also. If I do setVisible(false), then I cannot add another JPanel behind it.
This is my class:
package screens;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class menuScreen extends JPanel implements MouseListener{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
//-------------VARIABLES---------------//
Image wallpaper = (Image)Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource("images/wallpaper.jpg"));
Image title_text = (Image)Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource("images/title-text.png"));
ImageIcon startGameimg = new ImageIcon(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource("images/startGame.png")));
ImageIcon optionsimg = new ImageIcon(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource("images/options.png")));
//JButton start = new JButton(basketball);
JLabel options = new JLabel(optionsimg);
JLabel startGame = new JLabel(startGameimg);
gameScreen gS = new gameScreen();
CardLayout scenechange = new CardLayout();
JPanel scenechange1 = new JPanel (scenechange);
//-------------PAINT FUNCTION----------//
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
g.drawImage(wallpaper,0,0,this);
g.drawImage(title_text,0,0,this);
//g.drawImage(basketball1,110,180,this);
}
//-------------CONSTRUCTOR-------------//
public menuScreen(){
scenechange.addLayoutComponent(this,"menuScreen");
scenechange.addLayoutComponent(gS,"gameScreen");
//scenechange.show(this,"menuScreen");
this.setLayout(null);
this.add(options);
this.add(startGame);
startGame.setBounds(110,180,110,110);
options.setBounds(110,300,110,110);
startGame.addMouseListener(this);
options.addMouseListener(this);
}
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if(e.getSource() == (startGame)){
removeAll();
revalidate();
add(gS);
}
if(e.getSource() == (options)){
setVisible(false);
}
}
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}//END OF CLASS startingScreen
Thanks in advance.
First, don't call updateUI, it's related to the Look and Feel and not (directly) to updating your components.
If you have provided a custom paint routine within in your panel, then you need away to stop it from painting the images (without preventing it from painting it's own content). removeXxx will remove child components that you have previously added to the container.
A little more code would be useful
UPDATE
Fisrt, the images your painting aren't components of you container, they are been "stamped", you need some way to tell the component not to the paint the images
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
super.paintComponent(g); // this is super important
if (paintImages){ // you need to define and set this flag
g.drawImage(wallpaper,0,0,this);
g.drawImage(title_text,0,0,this);
}
}
Now, this will stop the images from been painted.
If, however, you no longer want to use the component (ie, you want to remove it from the screen so you can place a new component on the screen in its place), you need to remove this component from it's parent, which Code-Guru has suggested (so I won't steal his answer ;))
UPDATE
Okay, you had a kernel of an idea but either didn't quite know how to implement it or decided to discard it.
Basically, from the looks of your code, you were either trying to, or had, implement a CardLayout, unfortunately, you kind of got the wrong idea with it.
With CardLayout, you need to "controller", a component that is responsible for switching the screens...
public class ScreenController extends JPanel {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
//-------------VARIABLES---------------//
MenuScreen ms = new MenuScreen();
GameScreen gs = new GameScreen();
CardLayout sceneChange;
//-------------CONSTRUCTOR-------------//
public ScreenController() {
sceneChange = new CardLayout();
this.setLayout(sceneChange);
add(ms, "menuScreen");
add(gs, "gameScreen");
sceneChange.show(this, "menuScreen");
ms.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (e.getActionCommand().equalsIgnoreCase("startgame")) {
sceneChange.show(ScreenController.this, "gameScreen");
}
}
});
}
}//END OF CLASS startingScreen
Then you have your menu and game screens...
public class MenuScreen extends JPanel implements MouseListener {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
//-------------VARIABLES---------------//
//JButton start = new JButton(basketball);
JLabel options = new JLabel("Options");
JLabel startGame = new JLabel(" >> Start << ");
// gameScreen gS = new gameScreen();
BufferedImage wallpaper;
//-------------PAINT FUNCTION----------//
#Override
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
System.out.println("paint");
super.paintComponent(g);
if (wallpaper != null) {
g.drawImage(wallpaper, 0, 0, this);
}
}
//-------------CONSTRUCTOR-------------//
public MenuScreen() {
// Please handle your exceptions better
try {
wallpaper = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("/Menu.png"));
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(wallpaper.getWidth(), wallpaper.getHeight()));
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
Cursor cusor = Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR);
options.setCursor(cusor);
startGame.setCursor(cusor);
Font font = UIManager.getFont("Label.font").deriveFont(Font.BOLD, 48);
options.setFont(font);
startGame.setFont(font);
GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
gbc.gridx = 0;
gbc.gridy = 0;
this.add(options, gbc);
gbc.gridy++;
this.add(startGame, gbc);
startGame.addMouseListener(this);
options.addMouseListener(this);
}
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if (e.getSource() == (startGame)) {
fireActionPerformed("startGame");
}
if (e.getSource() == (options)) {
fireActionPerformed("gameOptions");
}
}
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
}
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
}
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
}
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
}
public void addActionListener(ActionListener listener) {
listenerList.add(ActionListener.class, listener);
}
public void removeActionListener(ActionListener listener) {
listenerList.remove(ActionListener.class, listener);
}
protected void fireActionPerformed(String cmd) {
ActionListener[] listeners = listenerList.getListeners(ActionListener.class);
if (listeners != null && listeners.length > 0) {
ActionEvent evt = new ActionEvent(this, ActionEvent.ACTION_PERFORMED, cmd);
for (ActionListener listener : listeners) {
listener.actionPerformed(evt);
}
}
}
}
Menu Screen...
And when you click start...the game screen...
Now this is an EXAMPLE. Please try and take the time to understand what it going on in the code before you march ahead and implement it. I used by own images, you'll need to get your own..
There are several ways to stop your JPanel from "appearing" depending on exactly what you want to accomplish. One was it to to call setOpaque(false);. I'm not entirely sure how this affects custom painting, though.
Another posibility is
Container parent = getParent().remove(this);
parent.validate();
A third posibility is to add a flag in your class which is set when you click on a JLabel (or better yet a JButton -- see comments below). Then in your paintComponent() method you can check the flag and draw accordingly.
Note:
You are incorrectly using a JLabel and mouse events to respond to user input. Typically in a Swing application, we use JButtons and ActionListeners to accomplish what you are trying to do here. One advantage of this is that you only have to implement one method called onActionPerformed() and don't need to worry about adding all the mouse event handlers that you don't want to even respond to.
JAVA USING NETBEANS
Hello stackoverflow, i have a problem i would like help with. In a nutshell, I have a mouselistener and a keylistener on a jpanel, everything works fine except when i press one of my jbuttons, then the keylistener goes AWOL. Can any1 explain the problem, is the panels focus now on the buttons instead of the keyboard, im at a lost.
Here is the code, if somethings are not reference, assume its are there the entire panel code was 500+ long so i cut quite a bit.
Thanks in advance for any help.

KeyEvents are only generated on a component that has focus. When you click on the button is now has focus to key events won't be generated on the panel. You need to add:
panel.requestFocusInWindow()
in your ActionListener to give focus back to the panel.
However the better solution is to use Key Bindings as you can add bindings to a KeyStroke even when the component doesn't have focus.
Don't use a KeyListener which requires the component be focused to work. Instead consider using Key Bindings. You can find out how to use these guys at the Swing tutorial: How To Use Key Bindings. If you need more specific help, you will want to post a much smaller bit of code than you show above, code that is self-contained and will actually compile and run for us, an SSCCE.
