how to get the value of selected data in combo box?

//this is my textfield
TextField quantityStock = new TextField("Available Stock");
//this is my combo box
ComboBox<Item> itemList = new ComboBox<>("Item");
//this is my code
public SoldItemForm(List<Item> allItems) {
addClassName("item-form");
// * item field
itemList.setItems(allItems);
itemList.setItemLabelGenerator(Item::getItemName)
itemList.addValueChangeListener(event->{
if (event.getValue() != null){
quantityStock.setValue(event.toString());
}
});
// * Item Stock
quantityStock.setReadOnly(true);
add(itemList, quantityStock);
}
I want to display the selected item name in combo box to my textfield but
this line is diplaying:
ComponentValueChangeEvent[source=com.vaadin.flow.component.combobox.ComboBox#5744eaab, value = com.smart.inventory.application.data.entities.Item#81, oldValue = null]

Replace event.toString() with event.getValue().getItemName(). Currently you are printing the whole event instead of the event's value/item.

Loading images and data from a text file and appending to it (Java)

I've created a platform game where each type of game object is assigned to specific rgb values so I can create levels by drawing them out in paint and loading the image. Right now I have the first two levels already loaded and I am able to get the path of the 3rd level through a textfield input and load a custom 3rd level. Each level needs a path to the png image of the level, and the number of coins needed to progress to the next level. I want to have every level load up from one text file where each line maybe has the level number, the image path, and the # of coins. I'm making it to be customizable so that the user can add or change levels simply by adding these parameters through 3 textfields in my customize menu. This way also my designer can help create levels and by reading from the text file I imagine there will be a lot less code in the long run when there are 20+ levels. Any ideas on how I can load from and append to this file? Here's what I'm working with right now:
public static BufferedImageLoader loader = new BufferedImageLoader();
public Handler(Camera cam){
this.cam = cam;
level1 = loader.loadImage("/level1.png");
level2 = loader.loadImage("/level2.png");
}
public void changeLevel(){
clearLevel();
cam.setX(0);
Player.coinCount = 0;
if(Game.LEVEL == 1){
Player.maxCoins = 4;
LoadImageLevel(level1);
}
if(Game.LEVEL == 2){
LoadImageLevel(level2);
Player.maxCoins = 11;
}
if(Game.LEVEL == 3){
System.out.println(Data.levelPath);
try{
level3 = loader.loadImage(Data.levelPath);
LoadImageLevel(level3);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("error loading custom level");
}
}
}
public Menu(Game game, Handler handler){
this.handler = handler;
pathField = new JTextField(10);
levelField = new JTextField(10);
coinField = new JTextField(10);
if(Game.gameState == STATE.Menu){
int selection = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(
null, getPanel(), "Input Form : "
, JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION
, JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
if(selection == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION) {
Data.levelPath = pathField.getText();
Data.level = levelField.getText();
Data.coinAmount = Double.valueOf(coinField.getText());
System.out.println(Data.levelPath + Data.level + Data.coinAmount);
}
}
private JPanel getPanel(){
JPanel basePanel = new JPanel();
basePanel.setOpaque(true);
JPanel centerPanel = new JPanel();
centerPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 2, 5, 5));
centerPanel.setBorder(
BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
centerPanel.setOpaque(true);
JLabel mLabel1 = new JLabel("Enter path: (e.g., /level1.png) ");
JLabel mLabel2 = new JLabel("Enter which level to load the image in: ");
JLabel mLabel3 = new JLabel("Enter the amount of coins you must collect");
centerPanel.add(mLabel1);
centerPanel.add(pathField);
centerPanel.add(mLabel2);
centerPanel.add(levelField);
centerPanel.add(mLabel3);
centerPanel.add(coinField);
basePanel.add(centerPanel);
return basePanel;
}
Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated!

It's actually just....
Given a value of the input.getText() as 1#path#20, It have level number, the image path, and the number of coins separated by # token.
public static String [] separateFields(String input, String separator){
String[] separatedValues = input.split("#");
return separatedValues;
}
Call the function, define the arguments.
// input is textfield.getText() , and the value of input is 1#path#20
String [] result= separateFields(input, "#");
Then you get
int level = Integer.parseInt(result[0]); // level
String aPath = result[1]; // path
int numCoins = Integer.parseInt(result[2]); // number of coins

How to set the Radio Button based on the value fetched from the database

I have a JTable filled with data about students (student id, name...), and when I select a row from a table, the form opens and its field need to be filled with same values (eg. if Johny Bravo was selected from the table.
Then his name should be shown in text filed Name on the form, I did like this txtfieldName.setText(student.getName).
My question is how do I set my Radio button automatically (my radio button is Male or Female) when I clicked the field.
enter code here
tableGuest.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
try{
int row = tableGuest.getSelectedRow();
String guestEdit=(tableGuest.getModel().getValueAt(row, 0).toString());
String query = "Select guest_id,guest_fname,guest_lname,guest_contact,guest_age,guest_gender,guest_address,guest_email from guest_tbl where guest_id= '"+guestEdit+"'";
PreparedStatement pst = con.prepareStatement(query);
ResultSet rs = pst.executeQuery();
buttonGroupEdit.add(rdbtnMaleEdit);
buttonGroupEdit.add(rdbtnFemaleEdit);
while(rs.next())
{
String genderEdit=rs.getString("guest_gender");
if(genderEdit.equals("Male"))
{
rdbtnMaleEdit.setSelected(true);
}
else if(genderEdit.equals("Female"))
{
rdbtnFemaleEdit.setSelected(true);
}
else
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "error !");
}
tfEditFname.setText(rs.getString("guest_fname"));
tfEditLname.setText(rs.getString("guest_lname"));
tfEditEmail.setText(rs.getString("guest_email"));
tfEditContact.setText(rs.getString("guest_contact"))
}
pst.close();
}catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
});

String gender = "male"
// this comes from db - since we don't know the structure this is a plain guess.
if (gender.equals("male") {
rbtMale.setSelected(true);
} else {
rbtFemale.setSelected(true);
}
And like MadProgrammer said, you will need a ButtonGroup and add all relevant buttons to it.
private final ButtonGroup genderButtons = new ButtonGroup();
genderButtons.add(rbtMale);
genderButtons.add(rbtFemale);

I've worked with same kinda solution in my work I am generating radiobutton with database values and showing them in java dialog.
We have a values from database stored in list like below:
List Titles; //This is a list containing your database values
First count the values of this list elements:
int list_count=Titles.size();
Now to proceed with radio function first we need to convert list elements into array like below:
String[] col = new String[list_count]; //created an array with limit of list count values
for(int i=0; i < list_count; i++){
col[i]=Titles.get(i).toString(); // add values of list into array with loop
}
Below is the function that is creating radio buttons with database array we created above:
public String get_key(int list_count, String[] col){
JRadioButton jb[] = new JRadioButton[col.length]; //Create Radion button array
ButtonGroup rb = new ButtonGroup(); //Group Radio Button
JPanel panel = new JPanel( new GridLayout(0, 1) ); //Set layout of radion button to display each after other
JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(panel); // Create a scrollpane to put all these radio button on that
GridBagLayout gridbag = new GridBagLayout(); //Layout for scrollpane
sp.setViewportBorder(BorderFactory.createBevelBorder(BevelBorder.LOWERED)); //bordre for scrollpane
List<Component> q = new ArrayList<>(); // q is a component to store and display each radio button
JLabel h1=new JLabel("Select a value"); //put a heading on top of jpanel before radio button
h1.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 18)); // set heading text
panel.add(h1); //add heading on top of jpanel
panel.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(10, 10, 10, 10)); //set panel border to padding each radio button
for(int i=0; i < list_count; i++){
jb[i]=new JRadioButton(col[i]); //create radion button dynamacially "col[i]" is the value of each radio
rb.add(jb[i]); //it is important also to put all radio in a group we created so only one element should be selected
panel.add(jb[i]); // add all radio on jpanel
}
sp.setPreferredSize( new Dimension( 350, 300 ) ); //set size of scrollpane
int act=JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, sp, "Select Primary Key",JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION,JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE); //add and show scrollpane in dialog
}
Calling this function with parameter values we created first "list_count" & "col":
get_key(list_count, col);

Create a Student.java class to get particular table value from database.
In the current form AddStudent create a function call as getStudentList to fill the GUI form with database data to particular id.
public ArrayList<Student> getStudentList() {
ArrayList<Student> studentList = new ArrayList<>();
conn = DbConnection.ConnectDb();
String selectQuery = "SELECT * FROM student";
try {
PreparedStatement pst = conn.prepareStatement();
ResultSet rs = pst.executeQuery();
Donor donor;
while(rs.next()) {
student = new Student(rs.getString("id"),
rs.getString("gender"));
studentList.add(student);
}
} catch (SQLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Student.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
return studentList;
}
After create a function called showStudent to show the particular data value to called id.(In below code male,female are the checkbox values)
public void showStudent(int index) throws ParseException {
if(getStudentList().get(index).getGender().equals("male")) {
male.setSelected(true);
female.setSelected(false);
gender = "male";
}
else {
female.setSelected(true);
male.setSelected(false);
gender = "female";
}
}
Set action to the jbutton, When get value id from jtextfield then fill the checkbox in particular gender value.

Radio button to change JCombo Data

Looking for a way to change the data outputted to the combo box by selecting the radio buttons, but the data is being pulled in off a text file and saved into an array and then passed back into JCOMBO array list. sorry if question is a big vague i was not to sure how to word it. but the files are separated by two different TXT files which i can easily return data from.
ArrayList<String> stations = Reader("Default.txt");
JComboBox<String> cb = new JComboBox<>(stations.toArray(new String[stations.size()]));
JRadioButton belgrave = new JRadioButton("Belgrave Line");
belgrave.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
cb.removeAllItems();
stations.clear();
ArrayList<String> stations = Reader("Belgrave.txt");
JComboBox<String> cb = new JComboBox<>(stations.toArray(new String[stations.size()]));
}
});
JRadioButton glenwaverly = new JRadioButton("Glen Waverly Line");
glenwaverly.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
cb.removeAllItems();
stations.clear();
ArrayList<String> stations = Reader("Glenwaverly.txt");
JComboBox<String> cb = new JComboBox<>(stations.toArray(new String[stations.size()]));
}
});
ButtonGroup bG = new ButtonGroup();
JButton apply = new JButton("Touch on ?");
JButton cancel = new JButton("Cancel");

Much like the action listener that you added into the apply and cancel button you will need to apply an action listener to the radio button as well.
And then do something like the following.
private void jRadioButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
//suppose this is your file input, that you will have to read
String[] test = { "Bird", "Cat", "Dog", "Rabbit", "Pig" };
//your combobox name supposed it is combo
//remove all the previous items
combo.removeAllItems();
//add all the items of the array(there is no addAll method)
for(int i=0; i<test.length; i++)
combo.addItem(test[i]);
}
Hope it helps.
Note that reading from a TXT file and parsing the data as an Array is related with the structure of your txt. Take a look here for how to read a txt line by line.
EDIT
In your listeners you are creating a new local combobox . However cb inside the listeners is not the same as cb outside of the listeners, it is simply a variable that is created & known only inside the method. You need to directly call cb without creating a new object.
Replace this JComboBox<String> cb = new JComboBox<>(stations.toArray(new String[stations.size()]))
with that
String[] items = stations.toArray(new String[stations.size()];
for(int i=0; i<items.length; i++)
cb.addItem(items[i]);

Printing all content of a JList as output

I have a JList in my GUI, which uses an ArrayList as data:
ArrayList Cruise = new ArrayList();
Cruise.add("Scottish to Greek Waters");
Cruise.add("Greek to Scottish Waters");
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
CruiseList = new JList(Cruise.toArray());
CruiseList.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 200));
scrollPane.setViewportView(CruiseList);
CruiseList.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
CruiseList.setSelectedIndex(0);
CruiseList.setVisibleRowCount(6);
listPanel.add(scrollPane);
Frame1.setVisible(true);
I have a button - List all Cruises, which once clicked on should display this as output:
"Scottish to Greek Waters"
"Greek to Scottish Waters"
However, upon clicking the button, it only displays the selected list option as output.
This is what I have so far:
listallCruises.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
String AllCruises = CruiseList.getSelectedValue().toString();
System.out.print("All Cruises:\n" + AllCruises + CruiseList.getModel() + "\n");
}
});
How do I print out all element in the list upon clicking the button?

You are outputting just the selected value because that's the method you are calling, getSelectedValue().
To display ALL the values, you have to get the model and iterate through the values, like so:
int size = CruiseList.getModel().getSize();
StringBuilder allCruises = new StringBuilder("All cruises:");
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
allCruises.append("\n").append(CruiseList.getModel().getElementAt(i));
}
System.out.print(allCruises);
