progress bar loading is not working - java

I am try to run the progress bar in my frame but it is not working. I am tried to display the visible in my second java class but set visible(true) displaying it as error.
Hope you guys can help me to solve my problem/error
Displaying error in my second java class:

Thread.sleep(150);
load.setvisible(true);
load.lblNewLabel.setText("Loading..."+ i);
load.progressBar.setValue(i);
}
}
}

Your mgfinancewindow class is not a JComponent to support the setVisible() method itself. The JFrame inside it has the setVisible method.
In the way you wrote the code, to solve your problem quickly you must write the frame.setVisible(true); at the end (last statement) of initialize() method in mgfinancewindow class and remove load.setvisible(true); from the main method of progress class:
public class progress {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
mgfinancewindow load = new mgfinancewindow();
for (int i = 0; i <= 100; i++) {
Thread.sleep(150);
//load.setvisible(true);
load.lblNewLabel.setText("Loading..." + i);
load.progressBar.setValue(i);
}
}
}

lblMgFinance.setForeground(Color.BLUE);
lblMgFinance.setBounds(0, 11, 1362, 635);
panel.add(lblMgFinance);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
But:
When you are creating a component like mgfinancewindow which creates a JFrame inside, most of the times it's better to extend from JFrame and then you can create an object from it and call the setVisible method on it in the main method of your program or so. It's better not to call setVisible inside that component, because in another classes sometimes you want to create and initialize the mgfinancewindow but you don't want to make it visible immediately.
Another hints:
According to Java Coding Conventions:
Your class names must follow the CamelCase style.
Variable names must follow the camelCase (first letter in lower-case) style.
You may want to take a look at other java coding conventions here.

How do you add a JPanel from another class to a panel with CardLayout?

I'm working on a group project and I'm the one making the GUI figuring it'd be good to practice with it. The program is supposed to be a pizza ordering system (pretty standard stuff) and what I'm trying to accomplish is that I have a main class that creates an application window. Inside this window is a panel that uses CardLayout with a button that when pressed calls another JPanel from another class dedicated specifically to that panel and places it as a card in the layout to be swapped back and forth from as normal.
What I have so far are the different panels I wish to call and the main class which has the window and main card panel. I can have it swap easily between panels created within the main class but when I try to use the panels from the other classes it just swaps to a blank panel when it should show the other class's panel.

I can't tell where I've gone wrong and I've spent roughly the last three hours trying to fix this and searching the internet for answers to no avail so thank you in advance if you can help me out.
Also I apologize in advance, I know I end up misusing the proper terminology for programming alot, I understand what things are just forget what to properly call them sometimes.
So, basically, I took out all the null layouts and "manual" layout code, as it's just going to mess with you to no end AND added add(panel1); to the end of the MainMenu constructor - as, I've said, NOTHING was added to MainMenu, so, nothing was going to get displayed.
Before you tell me that "this isn't the layout I want", understand that I understand that, but my point is, null layouts are a really bad idea, as almost the entire Swing API relies the layout managers in one way or another.
I appreciate that layout management can seem like a complex subject, but it solves some very complex problems and it's worth taking the time to learn them. Remember, you're not stuck to a single layout manager, you can use component components to adjust individual containers to their individual needs.
You can take a look at:

How to open a new JPanel with a JButton?

I am trying to code a program with multiple screens, however, I do not want to use tabbed panes. I have looked at using multiple JPanels with the card layout and the methods are simply not working. What I need to be able to do is load the new JPanel when a button is clicked. Here is my code:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;
import java.awt.CardLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
public class IA extends JFrame {
private JPanel contentPane;
private JPanel home;
private JPanel clients;
/**
* Launch the application.
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
IA frame = new IA();
frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**
* Create the frame.
*/
public IA() {
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
setContentPane(contentPane);
contentPane.setLayout(new CardLayout(0, 0));
JPanel home = new JPanel();
contentPane.add(home, "name_714429679706141");
home.setLayout(null);
JButton btnClients = new JButton("Clients");
btnClients.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
home.setVisible(false);
clients.setVisible(true);
}
});
btnClients.setBounds(160, 108, 89, 23);
home.add(btnClients);
JPanel clients = new JPanel();
contentPane.add(clients, "name_714431450350356");
clients.setLayout(null);
JButton btnHome = new JButton("Home");
btnHome.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
clients.setVisible(false);
home.setVisible(true);
}
});
btnHome.setBounds(169, 107, 89, 23);
clients.add(btnHome);
}
}
The problem is that you have duplicate variables home and clients .
The folllowing is your modified code to fix that, with comments on the changed lines (five lines total) :
import java.awt.CardLayout;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;

import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;
public class IA extends JFrame {
private final JPanel contentPane;
// private final JPanel home; // REMOVED
// private JPanel clients; // REMOVED
/**

*/
public static void main(final String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
IA frame = new IA();
frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**
* Create the frame.
*/
public IA() {
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
setContentPane(contentPane);
contentPane.setLayout(new CardLayout(0, 0));
final JPanel home = new JPanel();
contentPane.add(home, "name_714429679706141");
home.setLayout(null);
final JPanel clients = new JPanel(); // MOVED UP
contentPane.add(clients, "name_714431450350356"); // MOVED UP
clients.setLayout(null); // MOVED UP
JButton btnClients = new JButton("Clients");
btnClients.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(final ActionEvent e) {
home.setVisible(false);
clients.setVisible(true);
}
});
btnClients.setBounds(160, 108, 89, 23);
home.add(btnClients);
JButton btnHome = new JButton("Home");
btnHome.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(final ActionEvent e) {
clients.setVisible(false);
home.setVisible(true);
}
});
btnHome.setBounds(169, 107, 89, 23);
clients.add(btnHome);
}
}
I would take a look at this post, however I have a feeling you'll need to use a actionlistener to get this done...
Java Swing. Opening a new JPanel from a JButton and making the buttons pretty
I would of left this as a comment but apparently you need 50 rep for that...
This link might be more helpful.. How to open a new window by clicking a button
When the following code is invoked the clients variable equals to null.
JButton btnClients = new JButton("Clients");
btnClients.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
home.setVisible(false);
clients.setVisible(true);
}
});
Write this:
JPanel clients = new JPanel();
contentPane.add(clients, "name_714431450350356");
clients.setLayout(null);
JButton btnHome = new JButton("Home");
btnHome.setBounds(169, 107, 89, 23);
clients.add(btnHome);
before you add the Action Listener

You should use actionListener instead:
btnDodajNowy.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JPanel panel = new JPanel();// Creating the JPanel
panel.setBounds(0, 243, 286, 150);
JButton button = new JButton("New button");
button.setBounds(12, 12, 117, 25);
panel.add(button);
frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
frame.repaint();
}
});
and also:
You don't need to pass null as a parameter to the JPanel constructor
You might want to add a frame.repaint()
You don't need to set the JPanel to visible via setVisible().
If you looking to present the panel in same jframe where you added the button you probably should use CardLayout here is the link http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/card.html
It is being added, however, it is hiding below the JTable. The quickest fix is this:
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {
//...
panel.setBounds(0, 300, 286, 150); // 300 is on the y axis
//...
// then render the frame again:
frame.revalidate();
frame.repaint();
}
However, I suggest to rewrite it a little:
this.generalPanel = new JPanel();
frame.getContentPane().add(generalPanel);
...
generalPanel.add(table);
This way you'll get a good Layout for the topmost container.

How to store string or integer in java.swing JTextField?

Hello I am working on this project to store student names and record their grades. I have the entire program mapped out and all I need to do now is record the integers and strings from the user input and call it from different classes. I am having trouble with this. Do I use an array? How do I call from another class? Thank you.

Is it something along the lines of this?
studentNameTextField = new JTextField("Enter here");
String stdname = studentNameTextField.getText();
I know this would be storing it but how do I call that in a different class so I can make it appear on a different Frame?
Update: Okay so I've done this
Student frame = new Student();
String stdname = frame.studentNameTextField.getText();
JLabel addgradesLabel = new JLabel("Add grades for" + frame.studentNameTextField);
addgradesLabel.setBounds(139, 34, 167, 29);
contentPane.add(addgradesLabel);
And it's still not working. I believe I'm not implementing this correctly. I'm trying to title the label with what the user inputs for the name. So it would but "Add grades for" + stdname But it's not calling it correctly. How can I fix this?
Here is my code from the AddStudentName class
studentNameTextField = new JTextField();
studentNameTextField.setBounds(130, 133, 194, 26);
contentPane.add(studentNameTextField);
studentNameTextField.setColumns(10);
JButton continueButton = new JButton("Continue");
continueButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent a) {
if(continueButton.isEnabled()){
Student.this.dispose();
Student studentScreen = new Student();
studentScreen.dispose();
AddGrades addGradesScreen = new AddGrades();
addGradesScreen.setVisible(true);
}
}
});
What should I add here to save the input that the user is inputting into the JTextField? Thanks for the help

I'm trying to take the input from the JTextField
JTextField studentNameTextField = new JTextField();
and set it on the label
JLabel addgradesLabel = new JLabel("Add grades for" + stdname);
Where stdname would be the user input from the JTextField.
Now I'm getting errors from
public static void main(String[] args) {
AddGrades frame = new AddGrades();
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
AddGrades frame = new AddGrades();
frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
AddGrades frame = new AddGrades(); gives me error Add argument to match AddGrades(String)
The constructor AddGrades() is undefined
Edit: The best way to do this is to pass an argument to your newly created AddGrades class. See below:
public AddGrades(String stdname) {
JLabel addgradesLabel = new JLabel("Add grades for " + stdname);
}
You will need to modify your code to pass a string to your AddGrades class wherever you create it:
JButton continueButton = new JButton("Continue");
continueButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent a) {
if(continueButton.isEnabled()){
Student studentScreen = new Student();
studentScreen.dispose();
AddGrades addGradesScreen = new AddGrades(studentNameTextField.getText());
addGradesScreen.setVisible(true);
}
}
});
That worked for me - I downloaded your code and tested it.
JSpinner or JFormattedTextField would be my first thought, but if you can't do that then you could use Integer.parseInt to parse a String to int and a NumberFormat to format the numbers to Strings
Maybe have a look at How to Use Spinners and How to Use Formatted Text Fields for starters
I know this would be storing it but how do I call that in a different class so I can make it appear on a different JFrame?
That's a open question with little context. You might use some kind of "model" which represented one or more Student values; you might use a Observer Pattern to allow the editor to generate events to interested parties which would tell them that something has changed; you might use a Model-View-Controller; you might use a modal dialog and when it's closed, ask the editor for the values via getters.
Have a look at How to Make Dialogs for more details
One of things you want to keep in mind is "responsibility" and "encapsulation". You don't want outside parties to have uncontrolled access into your editor or model, this could allow them to modify the state in an uncontrolled way leading to inconsistencies in your data or UI.
You need to decide who is actually responsible for modifying the state of the model. There's no "right" answer, for example, you could have the editor either be capable of editing existing student objects or creating new ones based on how it's configured, equally, you could also have the editor be "dumb" and simply use setters to setup the editor and getters to get the values.
There are lots of options available to you, which you would use would be based on the context in which you want to use it. My gut feeling is start with an observer pattern and a modal dialog.

NullPointException error when setting attributes

I'm getting a NullPointerException error at line 77 lblNewLabel.setVisible(false);
which is called from line 65 runTest(); in the following code. (This is a dummy project I wrote to simulate a problem I'm having in a larger project). What I'm trying to do is change the attribute of several fields, buttons, etc based on user action at various places in the project. I would like to group all the changes in a separate method that can be called from various other methods. I'm still a Java novice, having come from some Visual Basic and Pascal experience. Seems like what I'm trying to do should be straight forward, but for now, I'm at a loss. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

In the initialize() method, you have created a local variable for JLabel, and hence are not initializing the instance field, as a reason it remains initialized to null, and hence NPE.
final JLabel lblNewLabel = new JLabel("This is a label.");
change the above line to: -
lblNewLabel = new JLabel("This is a label.");
