I want to make a keyboard. If I press the button it has to come up at 2.(pic). I think it's a similar way to make a calculator. Can I have some advice?
Actually I don't even know if this right. Am I OK making a JButton like that?
This is my code.

}
area2.setText("보안문자를 입력하세요.");
area1.setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.CENTER);
area2.setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.CENTER);
area1.setEditable(false);
area2.setEditable(false);
panel.add(area1);
panel.add(area2);
add(panel, BorderLayout.NORTH);

p3.setLayout(new GridLayout(5, 5, 5, 5));

First of all, the code needs extreme refactor. But as you the OOP beginner, lets dive into your problem. Your class called Random needs to implement ActionListener interface and override actionPerformed method:
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
}
Then, what you want to do is to add action listeners and set action commands for the buttons, for instance:
button.addActionListener(this);
button.addActionCommand("button")
Now you can know which button was clicked and represent something on your JTextField:
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if(e.getActionCommand().equals("button")){
textField.setText("button was clicked");
}
}

Can I initialize multiple objects in a single loop?
Here's what a snippet of my code looks like. As you can see, it becomes hard to look at from a glance and takes up too much space.
I'd like to be able to create the buttons in one for loop and then modify in another for loop.
public class MyFrame extends JFrame {
MyFrame() {
JButton button1 = new JButton();
JButton button2 = new JButton();
JButton button3 = new JButton();
JButton button4 = new JButton();
JButton button5 = new JButton();
JButton button6 = new JButton();
JButton button7 = new JButton();
JButton button8 = new JButton();
JButton button9 = new JButton();
JButton button0 = new JButton();
button1.setBounds(60, 60, 50, 50);
button2.setBounds(120,60,50,50);
button3.setBounds(180,60,50,50);
button4.setBounds(60,120,50,50);
button5.setBounds(120,120,50,50);
button6.setBounds(180,120,50,50);
button7.setBounds(60,180,50,50);
button8.setBounds(120,180,50,50);
button9.setBounds(180,180,50,50);
button0.setBounds(120,240,50,50);
}
}
Yes, you can use a for loop to create the buttons.
Here's a GUI I created.
It's not a good idea to use absolute positioning (setBounds) when creating a GUI. You should use the Swing layout managers.
I used a GridLayout to position the buttons.
Here's the complete runnable code.
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class TenButtonGUI implements Runnable {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new TenButtonGUI());
}
#Override
public void run() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Ten Button GUI");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(createMainPanel(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
private JPanel createMainPanel() {
JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0, 3, 5, 5));
panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
for (int i = 0; i < 11; i++) {
if (i == 9) {
JLabel label = new JLabel(" ");
panel.add(label);
} else {
JButton button = new JButton();
button.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(50, 50));
panel.add(button);
}
}
return panel;
}
}
You could do something like this:
List<JButton> buttons = new ArrayList<>();
int[][] bounds = {{60, 60, 50, 50}, {120,60,50,50}}; //add more bound quadruplets
// iterating over the values in the bounds array
Arrays.asList(bounds).forEach(v -> {
JButton button = new JButton();
button.setBounds(v[0], v[1], v[2], v[3]);
buttons.add(button);
});
In the end you will find your buttons in the buttons List.
I'm trying to make a calculator as a fun project. But as I try to make it look like a... calculator, it just turns out like one big grid, as follows:
I've tried to follow along with whatever I found on the Internet, but that was a big bust.
Can anyone help me out trying to separate the JTextField so it doesn't do this, and it can be in it's own row?
Here's the code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Main extends JFrame {
public Main() {
// Row = ->
// Column = ^
Container cp = getContentPane();
cp.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 0));
JTextField txtCalc = new JTextField("0");
txtCalc.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
JButton btn0 = new JButton("0");
JButton btn1 = new JButton("1");
JButton btn2 = new JButton("2");
JButton btn3 = new JButton("3");
JButton btn4 = new JButton("4");
JButton btn5 = new JButton("5");
JButton btn6 = new JButton("6");
JButton btn7 = new JButton("7");
JButton btn8 = new JButton("8");
JButton btn9 = new JButton("9");
JButton btn10 = new JButton("10");
cp.add(txtCalc);
cp.add(btn0);
cp.add(btn1);
cp.add(btn2);
cp.add(btn3);
cp.add(btn4);
cp.add(btn5);
cp.add(btn6);
cp.add(btn7);
cp.add(btn8);
cp.add(btn9);
cp.add(btn10);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setTitle("Calculator");
setSize(600, 600);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(Main::new);
}
}
Edit:
Now I have the answer! This is my fixed code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Main extends JFrame {
public Main() {
Container cp = getContentPane();
cp.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 0));
JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(3, 0));
setContentPane(border);
JTextField txtCalc = new JTextField("0");
txtCalc.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
txtCalc.setEditable(true);
JButton btn1 = new JButton("1");
JButton btn2 = new JButton("2");
JButton btn3 = new JButton("3");
JButton btn4 = new JButton("4");
JButton btn5 = new JButton("5");
JButton btn6 = new JButton("6");
JButton btn7 = new JButton("7");
JButton btn8 = new JButton("8");
JButton btn9 = new JButton("9");
JButton btn0 = new JButton("0");
mainPanel.add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
mainPanel.add(txtCalc, BorderLayout.NORTH);
buttonPanel.add(btn1);
buttonPanel.add(btn2);
buttonPanel.add(btn3);
buttonPanel.add(btn4);
buttonPanel.add(btn5);
buttonPanel.add(btn6);
buttonPanel.add(btn7);
buttonPanel.add(btn8);
buttonPanel.add(btn9);
buttonPanel.add(btn0);
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(Main::new);
}
}
Have your main panel use a BorderLayout. Put the JTextField in the North position. Put your buttons in a panel that uses GridLayout, then add that panel to your main panel in the Center position.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Main extends JFrame {
public Main() {
JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
setContentPane(mainPanel);
JTextField txtCalc = new JTextField("0");
txtCalc.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(3, 0));
JButton btn0 = new JButton("0");
JButton btn1 = new JButton("1");
JButton btn2 = new JButton("2");
JButton btn3 = new JButton("3");
JButton btn4 = new JButton("4");
JButton btn5 = new JButton("5");
JButton btn6 = new JButton("6");
JButton btn7 = new JButton("7");
JButton btn8 = new JButton("8");
JButton btn9 = new JButton("9");
buttonPanel.add(txtCalc);
buttonPanel.add(btn0);
buttonPanel.add(btn1);
buttonPanel.add(btn2);
buttonPanel.add(btn3);
buttonPanel.add(btn4);
buttonPanel.add(btn5);
buttonPanel.add(btn6);
buttonPanel.add(btn7);
buttonPanel.add(btn8);
buttonPanel.add(btn9);
mainPanel.add(txtCalc, BorderLayout.NORTH);
mainPanel.add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setTitle("Calculator");
setSize(600, 600);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(Main::new);
}
}
I have written a code to display three buttons in three panels on a
frame with grid layout.
The objective is to
- change color of button when the button is clicked
- initially all 3 of them are black
The code runs perfectly except for the color of button doesn't change on
click.
Can anyone please point out the problem or debug it.
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class gui extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
JPanel p1, p2, p3;
JButton b1, b2, b3;
public gui() {
setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1));
JPanel p1 = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1, 1));
JPanel p2 = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1, 1));
JPanel p3 = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1, 1));
JButton b1 = new JButton();
JButton b2 = new JButton();
JButton b3 = new JButton();
b1.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
b2.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
b3.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
b1.addActionListener(this);
p1.add(b1);
b2.addActionListener(this);
p2.add(b2);
b3.addActionListener(this);
p3.add(b3);
add(p1);
add(p2);
add(p3);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) //function to handle click
{
if (e.getSource() == b1) {
b1.setBackground(Color.RED);
} else if (e.getSource() == b2) {
b1.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
} else if (e.getSource() == b3) {
b3.setBackground(Color.BLUE);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
gui ob1 = new gui();
ob1.setSize(1000, 500);
ob1.setLocation(100, 100);
ob1.setVisible(true);
ob1.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}
}
You have to initialize the buttons using[Same applied to panels as well]
b1 = new JButton();
b2 = new JButton();
b3 = new JButton();
because you are creating local variables which hides the global variables
JButton b1 = new JButton();//local variables
JButton b2 = new JButton();
JButton b3 = new JButton();
In the second if condition you have to change the color of b2 not b1
else if(e.getSource()==b2){
//b1.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
b2.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
}
Always use .equals() instead of == to compare objects
e.getSource().equals(b1)
I have created a JPanel that has all the JRadioButtons on it that I need (it is called PortSettings). I also have a button, called port settings, when the user clicks the button, I need the JPanel to come up and display the radio buttons. I have tried to add the JPanel to the actionlistener but it doesn't work. My code is below. I have deleted all other ActionListener's from the other buttons except for the portsettings buttons. If this question is confusing I'm sorry. It's really hard to explain what I need to do. I have uploaded a drawing of what the panel will look like as well as a screenshot of my program.

You´re on the right track, but you do not want to add your PortSettings panel to a new JFrame but somewhere on your previously built one, assigned to the local variable frame. So your action listener should rather be
portsettings.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
frame.add(PortSettings, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
frame.pack();
}
});
(This is assuming that you actually want to add it to the frame at that instant and not add it invisibly right from the start and turn it visible, like #Aleksei suggested.)
The error message about final is because you use PortSettings in an (anonymous) inner class - viz., the ActionListener. In my proposed modification the same goes for frame, so you need to adapt its declaration as well:
final JFrame frame = new JFrame();
The reason why is quite technical and beside the point right now: just do it.
If instead you want the panel to appear in a separate window, you need a JDialog for that, not a second JFrame:
portsettings.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JDialog dialog = new JDialog(frame);
dialog.add(PortSettings);
dialog.pack();
dialog.setVisible(true);
}
});
Take a look at the JOptionPane class for a rich choice of ways to get more functionality out of dialogs.
Just add the action listener to all your buttons.
like this:
yourButton.addActionListener(this);
Do that for all the buttons.
Then take your TestPalication class's actionPreformed method and do whatever:
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
((JRadioButton) arg0.getSource()).setTitle("Clicked!");
}
Your question was a little bit confusing but I hope this clarifies a little bit.

Store the text that you want to print on a label in a separate instance variable (String). Every time a button is pressed, append the number to this text and set it on the label.
Simply append the result to what the label already contains
label.setText(label.getText() + "1");
