Sorting JPanels based on component

My program generates random numbers from 0 to 12 but if the result is 12 it would set dash as the text of JLabel, instead of the number generated.
Now, I wanted to sort my JPanel in ascending order based on the JLabel contents. In case of similarities in numbers, the black JPanels are placed on the left. It works fine except when there are dashes included, in which it doesn't sort properly. I would like to insert the JPanels containing dashes anywhere but it's not working as expected.
Screencaps from a shorter version of my program:
Pure numbers:
Dash included:
Here's the shorter version of my code (using the logic of integer sorting):
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Comparator;
public class SortFrames extends JFrame
{
static ArrayList<JPanel> panels = new ArrayList<JPanel>();
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JPanel sortPane = new JPanel();
int toWrite = 0;
int colorGen = 0;
int comparison = 0;
Random rand = new Random();
public SortFrames()
{
for(int i = 0; i<4;i++)
{
panels.add(new JPanel());
}
for(JPanel p: panels)
{
toWrite = rand.nextInt(13);
colorGen = rand.nextInt(2);
p.add(new JLabel());
JLabel lblToSet = (JLabel)p.getComponent(0);
if(colorGen == 0)
{
p.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
lblToSet.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
}
if(colorGen == 1)
{
p.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
lblToSet.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
}
if(toWrite != 12){lblToSet.setText("" +toWrite);}
if(toWrite == 12){lblToSet.setText("-");}
p.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(30, 30));
panel.add(p);
}
sortMethod();
for(JPanel p: panels)
{
panel.add(p);
panel.revalidate();
}
add(panel);
panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 300));
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 300));
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
pack();
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
}
public void sortMethod()
{
for(int i = 0; i<(panels.size());i++)
{
for(int j = i+1; j<(panels.size());j++)
{
JLabel one = (JLabel)(panels.get(i)).getComponent(0);
JLabel two = (JLabel)(panels.get(j)).getComponent(0);
String lblOne = one.getText();
String lblTwo = two.getText();
if(!lblOne.equals("-") && !lblTwo.equals("-"))
{
int comp1 = Integer.parseInt(lblOne);
int comp2 = Integer.parseInt(lblTwo);
JPanel pnl1 = panels.get(i);
JPanel pnl2 = panels.get(j);
if(comp1 == comp2)
{
if(pnl1.getBackground() == Color.BLACK && pnl2.getBackground() == Color.WHITE)
{
panels.set(i, pnl1);
panels.set(j, pnl2);
}
if(pnl1.getBackground() == Color.WHITE && pnl2.getBackground() == Color.BLACK)
{
panels.set(i, pnl2);
panels.set(j, pnl1);
}
}
if(comp1 != comp2)
{
if(comp1>comp2)
{
panels.set(i, pnl2);
panels.set(j, pnl1);
}
}
}
if(lblOne.equals("-") && !lblTwo.equals("-"))
{
JPanel pnl1 = panels.get(i);
panels.set(rand.nextInt(panels.size()), pnl1);
}
if(!lblOne.equals("-") && lblTwo.equals("-"))
{
JPanel pnl2 = panels.get(j);
panels.set(rand.nextInt(panels.size()), pnl2);
}
}
}
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
new SortFrames();
}
}
I also have another method, which is by using Comparator class which also creates the same problem (this sorts equal numbers based on foreground but still the same as to sort equal numbers based on background so it has no effect on the said issue).
private static class JPanelSort implements Comparator<JPanel>
{
#Override
public int compare(JPanel arg0, JPanel arg1)
{
JLabel one = ((JLabel) arg0.getComponent(0));
JLabel two = ((JLabel) arg1.getComponent(0));
String firstContent = one.getText();
String secondContent = two.getText();
try
{
comparisonRes = Integer.compare(Integer.parseInt(firstContent), Integer.parseInt(secondContent));
if(comparisonRes == 0)
{
if(one.getForeground() == Color.BLACK && two.getForeground() == Color.WHITE)
{
comparisonRes = 1;
}
if(two.getForeground() == Color.BLACK && one.getForeground() == Color.WHITE)
{
comparisonRes = -1;
}
}
}
catch(NumberFormatException e)
{
comparisonRes = 0;
}
return comparisonRes;
}
}
Please tell me your ideas. Thank you.

It's much easier to sort data than to sort JPanels.
Here's mu GUI displaying your numbers.
So, lets create a Java object to hold the card data.
public class DataModel {
private final int number;
private final int colorNumber;
private final Color backgroundColor;
private final Color foregroundColor;
public DataModel(int number, int colorNumber, Color backgroundColor,
Color foregroundColor) {
this.number = number;
this.colorNumber = colorNumber;
this.backgroundColor = backgroundColor;
this.foregroundColor = foregroundColor;
}
public int getNumber() {
return number;
}
public int getColorNumber() {
return colorNumber;
}
public Color getBackgroundColor() {
return backgroundColor;
}
public Color getForegroundColor() {
return foregroundColor;
}
}
Pretty straightforward. We have fields to hold the information and getters to retrieve the information. We can make all the fields final since we're not changing anything once we set the values.
The sort class is pretty simple as well.
public class DataModelComparator implements Comparator<DataModel> {
#Override
public int compare(DataModel o1, DataModel o2) {
if (o1.getNumber() < o2.getNumber()) {
return -1;
} else if (o1.getNumber() > o2.getNumber()) {
return 1;
} else {
if (o1.getColorNumber() < o2.getColorNumber()) {
return -1;
} else if (o1.getColorNumber() > o2.getColorNumber()) {
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
}
}
}
}
Since we keep the color number, sorting by color is as easy as sorting a number.
Now that we've moved the data to it's own List, we can concentrate on creating the GUI.

The lessons to be learned here are:
Separate the data from the view.
Focus on one part of the problem at a time. Divide and conquer.

Java: SwingPropertyChangeSupport

I am trying to make an MVC Java Swing program that makes use of SwingPropertyChangeSupport to notify the view whenever the model gets updated. The problem I am having is that the notifications do not seem to be happening.
I have prepared an SSCCE below. In the SSCCE, there is a Swing GUI that has a button and a text field. When you click the button, a counter in the model gets incremented, and the view is supposed to get notified so that it can update itself. However, it appears the notifications do not get sent/received (I am not sure which -- it could be both) even though I have checked to make sure that oldValue and newValue are different from each other. I would appreciate any assistance in understanding where I've gone wrong. Thanks!

I've not run your program, but I see one thing out of order here:
public void setCounter(int i) {
int oldValue = counter;
int newValue = i;
pcs.firePropertyChange(CHANGED, oldValue, newValue);
counter = newValue;
System.out.println("setCounter finished with oldValue=" + oldValue + ", newValue=" + newValue);
}
which should be:
public void setCounter(int i) {
int oldValue = counter;
int newValue = i;
counter = newValue;
pcs.firePropertyChange(CHANGED, oldValue, newValue);
System.out.println("setCounter finished with oldValue=" + oldValue + ", newValue=" + newValue);
}
You should fire notification only after updating the model's value.
Your main problem though is that you add no PropertyChangeListener to the model.

How do I auto-expand a JTree when setting a new TreeModel?

I have a custom JTree and a custom JModel; I would for the JTree to "auto-expand" when I give it a new model. At the moment, it simply collapse all the nodes to the root.
Here is an example:
private class CustomTree extends JTree {
#Override
public boolean isExpanded(TreePath path) {
return ((Person) path.getLastPathComponent).hasChildren();
}
private class CustomTreeModel extends TreeModel {
// ... omitting various implementation details
#Override
public boolean isLeaf(Object object) {
return !((Person) object).hasChildren();
}
}
Model model = new Model();
Person bob = new Person();
Person alice = new Person();
bob.addChild(alice);
model.setRoot(bob);
JTree tree = new CustomTree(new CustomTreeModel(model));
At this point, the tree correctly displays:
- BOB
- ALICE
where Alice is a child of Bob (both in the data and in the visual tree)
However, if I call:
tree.setModel(new CustomTreeModel(model));
everything is collapsed:
+ BOB
Is there a way to "auto-expand" everything in the tree when setting a new model?

The following worked for me (called after setting the new model):
for (int i = 0; i < tree.getRowCount(); i++) {
tree.expandRow(i);
}

I had a similar problem.
Your solution (as posted https://stackoverflow.com/a/15211697/837530) seemed to work for me only for the top level tree nodes.
But I needed to expand all the a descendants node. So I solved it with the following recursive method:
private void expandAllNodes(JTree tree, int startingIndex, int rowCount){
for(int i=startingIndex;i<rowCount;++i){
tree.expandRow(i);
}
if(tree.getRowCount()!=rowCount){
expandAllNodes(tree, rowCount, tree.getRowCount());
}
}
which is invoked with
expandAllNodes(tree, 0, tree.getRowCount());
where, tree is a JTree.
Unless someone has a better solution.

There's also this non-recursive version.
private void expandAllNodes(JTree tree) {
int j = tree.getRowCount();
int i = 0;
while(i < j) {
tree.expandRow(i);
i += 1;
j = tree.getRowCount();
}
}

this worked for me..

Minesweeper Action Events

Is there a way to make certain event actions specific to left and right mouse clicks?
I'm creating a minesweeper gui, so when a square is left-clicked it will be uncovered, & when it's right-clicked it will be flagged.
I wasn't sure how to syntactically check for this & couldn't find it on the tut.
Thanks for the help!

I decided to give it a go, to try to create a simple Mine Sweeper application, one without a timer or reset (yet), but that is functional and uses both a GUI cell class and a non-GUI model class (it can't be copied and used in for intro to Java homework).
Edit 1: now has reset capability:

If you are using swing then
Is there a way to make certain event actions specific to left and
right mouse clicks?
Implement a MouseListener no component. Then in implemented method you have a MouseEvent object which has a getButton() method which tells you which mouse is pressed.
Edit
OP has asked following question but now removed it.
Is this gui nested inside the other in an action event, when
game_lost becomes true?
You can open a JDialog for this.

You may be interested in the MouseEvent Class of java.awt.event. here

JTextField that has inner fields or preformated format, something like the ip field in windows

I want to create a text field that will be for dates and will have dd.mm.YYYY format. Now what I want the user to type only the numbers, not the dots to. So the field would be like:
_ _. _ _ . _ _ _ _
So when the user wants to type the date: 15.05.2010 for example, he will only type the numbers in the sequence 15052010.
Also I would like, when he presses on left or right arrow, the cursor to go from one field (not JTextField, but field in the JTextField) to the next. So lets say I have JTextField with this text in it: 15.05.2010 If the user is on the beginning and he presses the right arrow, the cursor should go to the .05 field.
I hope you understand me because right now I don't have any idea how to make this, or at least how to look for it on google.

Well, here are 4 classes that solve your problem.
In my case its version control but IP address has the same structure and its easy to modify it.
package com.demo.textfield.version;
import javax.swing.text.Document;
/**
* create documents for text fields
*/
public class DocumentsFactory {
private DocumentsFactory() {}
public static Document createIntDocument() {
return createIntDocument(Integer.MAX_VALUE, Integer.MAX_VALUE);
}
public static Document createIntDocument(int maxValue) {
return createIntDocument(maxValue, Integer.MAX_VALUE);
}
public static Document createIntDocument(int maxValue, int maxLength) {
IntDocument intDocument = new IntDocument();
intDocument.setMaxVal(maxValue);
intDocument.setMaxLength(maxLength);
return intDocument;
}
}
in the followed class we define view:
package com.demo.textfield.version;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.awt.Insets;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class GridbagPanel extends JPanel {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public static final Insets NO_INSETS = new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0);
public GridBagConstraints constraints;
private GridBagLayout layout;
public GridbagPanel() {
layout = new GridBagLayout();
constraints = new GridBagConstraints();
constraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.NONE;
constraints.anchor = GridBagConstraints.WEST;
constraints.insets = NO_INSETS;
setLayout(layout);
}
public void setHorizontalFill() {
constraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
}
public void setNoneFill() {
constraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.NONE;
}
public void add(Component component, int x, int y, int width, int
height, int weightX, int weightY) {
GridBagLayout gbl = (GridBagLayout) getLayout();
gbl.setConstraints(component, constraints);
add(component);
}
public void add(Component component, int x, int y, int width, int height) {
add(component, x, y, width, height, 0, 0);
}
public void setBothFill() {
constraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.BOTH;
}
public void setInsets(Insets insets) {
constraints.insets = insets;
}
}
We use a plain document that contains our main logic (your changes should be here):
package com.demo.textfield.version;
import javax.swing.text.AttributeSet;
import javax.swing.text.BadLocationException;
import javax.swing.text.PlainDocument;
/**
* a class for positive integers
*/
public class IntDocument extends PlainDocument {
/**
*
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public static final String NUMERIC = "0123456789";
private int maxVal = -1;
private int maxLength = -1;
public IntDocument() {
this.maxVal = -1;
maxVal = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
maxLength = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
}
public void setMaxLength(int maxLength) {
if (maxLength < 0)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("maxLength<0");
this.maxLength = maxLength;
}
public void setMaxVal(int maxVal) {
this.maxVal = maxVal;
}
public void insertString
(int offset, String str, AttributeSet attr)
throws BadLocationException {
if (str == null)
return;
if (str.startsWith(" ") && offset == 0) {
beep();
str = "";
}
if (!isValidForAcceptedCharsPolicy(str))
return;
if (validateLength(offset, str) == false)
return;
if (!isValidForMaxVal(offset, str))
return;
super.insertString(offset, str, attr);
}
public boolean isValidForAcceptedCharsPolicy(String str) {
if (str.equals("")) {
beep();
return false;
}
for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
if (NUMERIC.indexOf(String.valueOf(str.charAt(i))) == -1) {
beep();
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
public boolean isValidForMaxVal(int offset, String toAdd) {
String str_temp;
//String str_text = "";
String str1 = "";
String str2 = "";
try {
str1 = getText(0, offset);
str2 = getText(offset, getLength() - offset);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
int i_value;
str_temp = str1 + toAdd + str2;
//str_temp = str_temp.trim();
i_value = Integer.parseInt(str_temp);
if (i_value > maxVal) {
beep();
return false;
} else
return true;
}
private boolean validateLength(int offset, String toAdd) {
String str_temp;
//String str_text = "";
String str1 = "";
String str2 = "";
try {
str1 = getText(0, offset);
str2 = getText(offset, getLength() - offset);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
str_temp = str1 + toAdd + str2;
if (maxLength < str_temp.length()) {
beep();
return false;
} else
return true;
}
private void beep() {
//java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
}
}
And this is last one with main method that implements all above posted code and you get pretty good view. In my case I used list of 4 text fields separated by dot. You can jump from one "window" to another by using arrows or tab or dot or if your number length reached 4. It will work with implementation of FocusAdapter class:
