Changing JPanel Icon when JButton is clicked - java

The JFrame window needs to display a random dice image. When the button is clicked, the random dice image needs to change. I have figured out how to display the random dice image, but I cannot figure out how to use the actionlistener to generate a new random dice image. I am only in my third Java class, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Create a method that generates the integer and sets the icon to the label. But in order to do that, label should be a field in the class, so all methods can access it. For example:
private void rollDice() {
Random random = new Random();
int randomInt = random.nextInt(6) + 1;
String resource = String.format("/Dice/die-%d.png", randomInt);
Icon icon = new ImageIcon(LabGuiDice.class.getResource(resource));
diceIconLabel.setIcon(icon);
}
and then:
btnRollem.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
rollDice();
}
});
with full code:
public class LabGuiDice extends JFrame {
private JPanel contentPane;
private JLabel diceIconLabel;
/**
* Launch the application.
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
LabGuiDice frame = new LabGuiDice();
frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**
* Create the frame.
*/
public LabGuiDice() {
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout(0, 0));
setContentPane(contentPane);
JButton btnRollem = newDiceRoll();
contentPane.add(btnRollem, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
diceIconLabel = newDiceImage();
contentPane.add(diceIconLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
rollDice();
pack();
}
private void rollDice() {
Random random = new Random();
int randomInt = random.nextInt(6) + 1;
String resource = String.format("/Dice/die-%d.png", randomInt);
Icon icon = new ImageIcon(LabGuiDice.class.getResource(resource));
diceIconLabel.setIcon(icon);
}
private JLabel newDiceImage() {
JLabel lblDice = new JLabel("");
lblDice.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
return lblDice;
}
private JButton newDiceRoll() {
JButton btnRollem = new JButton("Roll 'Em");
btnRollem.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
rollDice();
}
});
btnRollem.setBorderPainted(false);
btnRollem.setFont(new Font("Bodoni 72 Smallcaps", Font.PLAIN, 27));
btnRollem.setOpaque(true);
btnRollem.setBackground(new Color(255, 0, 0));

Why will this code compile in eclipse but not jGrasp

I decided to take a java class and the prof wants all the .java files to run in jGrasp but I am much more familiar with eclipse so I've been using that. I have two files who will compile fine in eclipse but when I open their .java files in jGrasp they either don't execute correctly or some of the import statements cause errors.
This one will compile but the JFrame will be empty:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
class JDisappearingFriends {
static int i = 1;
static void increase_i() {
++i;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame1 = new JFrame();
frame1.setVisible(true);
frame1.setSize(303, 286);
frame1.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JLabel[] friends = new JLabel[6];
friends[0] = new JLabel(
"Hello. To begin changing friends press the button");
friends[1] = new JLabel("Laura");
friends[2] = new JLabel("Kendra");
friends[3] = new JLabel("Nicole");
friends[4] = new JLabel("Melissa");
friends[5] = new JLabel("Elizabeth");
frame1.add(friends[0]);
JButton btnChangeFriends = new JButton("Change Friends");
btnChangeFriends.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (i < 6) {
frame1.getContentPane().add(friends[i]);
frame1.remove(friends[i - 1]);
frame1.revalidate();
frame1.repaint();
increase_i();
} else {
JLabel done = new JLabel("That's it, your out of friends");
frame1.remove(friends[5]);
frame1.add(done);
frame1.revalidate();
frame1.repaint();
}
}
});
frame1.getContentPane().add(btnChangeFriends, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
}
}
This code won't compile at all. jGrasp claims the import statement for jGoodies is invalid but it works fine in eclipse.

When you create a project in eclipse it creates certain dependencies to packages and modules based on its configuration.
The program is showing an empty JFrame because the project in eclipse uses those dependancies but jGrasp can't find them because it is not familiar with project structure of eclipse.

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException if-statement

I'm developing a tic tac toe game and have one problem - Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException, it occurs when i try to press the button. The buttonText is changed to X, but after that i get the problem. I believe there is something wrong with if statements:
The source code of Main.java:
package mytictactoegame;
public class Main {
public static boolean playerTurn = true;
public static boolean playerWon = false;
public static boolean compWon = false;
public static boolean playing = true;
public static ticgame board = new ticgame ();

board.setVisible(true);
}
public static void checkforwin (){

Here is first lines of the error log, the rest doesnt fit due to number of words:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException

You're shadowing your variables such as your button1 variable and others like it. By shadowing, I mean that you declare them in the class, but then re-declare and initialize the re-declared variable in your class's constructor. When you do that, the field (the variable declared in the class) remains null. Solution: don't shadow your variables by not re-declaring them in the constructor.
e.g., you do this:
// should be named TicGame to comply with Java naming standards
public class ticgame extends JFrame {
public ticgame() {
// ....
// here you re-declare the button1 variable
// by doing this, you initialize the local variable that
// is present int he constructor but leave the class field null
JButton button1 = new JButton("");
//....
}
public JButton button1; // this guy remains null
// .....
}
When you should be doing this:
public class TicGame extends JFrame {
public TicGame() {
// ....
// JButton button1 = new JButton("");
button1 = new JButton(""); // note the difference?
//....
}
public JButton button1; // now he's not null!
// .....
}

Adding JButtons Dynamically to JPanel based on JList values

I am working on a Java Swing application.
My Requirement :-
In my JFrame, I have a JList with values "One", "Two", "Three" etc. When I select one list item, I want to show "n" buttons where "n" is the value selected.
Example :- If I select "Three" from the list, there should be 3 buttons in the JFrame.
Below is my code :-
public class Details extends JFrame {
String[] navData = new String{"One","Two","Three","Four"};
private JPanel contentPane;
/**
* Launch the application.
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
Details frame = new Details();
frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**
* Create the frame.
*/
public Details() {
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
int xSize = ((int) tk.getScreenSize().getWidth());
int ySize = ((int) tk.getScreenSize().getHeight());
//frame.setSize(xSize,ySize);
setTitle("Test");
setBounds(0, 0, 776, 457);
setResizable(false);
//setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
setContentPane(contentPane);
contentPane.setLayout(null);
final JList list = new JList(navData);
list.setBounds(0, 0, 140, ySize);
contentPane.add(list);
list.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
list.setFixedCellHeight(50);
list.setFixedCellWidth(70);
list.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(10,10, 10, 10));
list.addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener() {
#Override
public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent arg0) {
int numButtons;
String selectedItem = navData[list.getSelectedIndex()];
switch (selectedItem) {
case "One":
addButtons(1);
break;
case "Two":
addButtons(2);
break;
case "Three":
addButtons(3);
break;
case "Four":
addButtons(4);
break;
default:
break;
}
}
});
list.setSelectedIndex(0);
}
public void addButtons(int n)
{
revalidate();
for(int i = 0; i<n;i++)
{
JButton button = new JButton(" "+navData[i]);
button.setBounds(200 + (i*50), 150, 50, 50);
contentPane.add(button);
}
}
}
- Problem :-
When I change the selected item in the list, the JPanel is not getting updated. In other words, I don't get 3 buttons when I select "Three" from the List. I get only 1 button which was created by the default selection.
I made these changes:
I put the JList in a JPanel, and the JButtons in another JPanel.
I used the FlowLayout for the JList JPanel, and the FlowLayout for the JButtons JPanel. You're free to change these Swing layouts if you wish.
I changed the default to 4 buttons, so the JFrame would pack properly for up to 4 JButtons.
I added a method to remove the JButtons from the JPanel before trying to add JButtons to the JPanel.
I revalidated and repainted the JButton JPanel.
Here's the code:

}
panel.revalidate();

}
}
Replace contentPane.setLayout(null); with some kind of layout such as contentPane.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
Add
contentPane.removeAll() as the first line in addButtons().
You can create a "wrapper" panel for buttons, i.e.
...
private JPanel buttonsWrapper;
...
// in the constructor
buttonsWrapper = new JPanel();
buttonsWrapper.setLayout(null);
buttonsWrapper.setBounds(200, 150, 200, 50);
buttonsWrapper.add(wrapperPanel);
and add buttons to this panel
public void addButtons(int n) {
buttonsWrapper.removeAll();

Check the console for any exceptions. Try
new MigLayout("debug")
to see your Layout in debg mode.
You could also set different background colors to the differen JPanels, to see what size they have.

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
g.setColor(Color.orange);
g.drawRect(350,80,70,70);
g.setColor(Color.blue);
g.drawRoundRect(360, 30, 50, 50, 50, 50);;
}
}
}
after add logo in application JTextArea not shown
Reason is this Line:
logo.setBounds(100, 100, 150,150);
getContentPane().add(logo);
setBounds wont work with the layouts of Swing components. So when you are adding the logo in container of JFrame it is adding it to the center , hiding out the JTextArea added in center.
