I am making a program which will open a class GUI called "Menu" when correct login info is put into a text field password field and a button called "login" is pressed. The problem is that the Menu window will open blank, not displaying what I have programmed into the Menu.
This is my code for Login class,
package ems;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
public class Login extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
private JFrame loginFrame;
private JTextField usernameField;
private JPasswordField passwordField;
/**

*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
Login window = new Login();
window.loginFrame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**

public Login() {
initialize();
}
/**

private void initialize() {
loginFrame = new JFrame();
loginFrame.setTitle("Login");

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
}
});
btnExit.setBounds(108, 210, 90, 30);
loginFrame.getContentPane().add(btnExit);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setBackground(new Color(192, 192, 192));
panel.setBounds(91, 86, 258, 163);
loginFrame.getContentPane().add(panel);
JLabel lblLoginToThe = new JLabel("LOGIN TO THE ELECTRICITY MONITORING SYSTEM");
lblLoginToThe.setForeground(new Color(255, 255, 255));
lblLoginToThe.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 16));
lblLoginToThe.setBounds(26, 23, 418, 16);
loginFrame.getContentPane().add(lblLoginToThe);
JPanel panel_1 = new JPanel();

This is the code for the Menu class,
package ems;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.Font;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**

public Menu() {
initialize();
}
/**

*/
private void initialize() {
menuFrame = new JFrame();
menuFrame.setTitle("Menu");
menuFrame.setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
menuFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
menuFrame.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
JLabel lblLoginToThe = new JLabel("THE ELECTRICITY MONITORING SYSTEM");
lblLoginToThe.setForeground(new Color(255, 255, 255));
lblLoginToThe.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 16));
lblLoginToThe.setBounds(64, 22, 331, 16);
menuFrame.getContentPane().add(lblLoginToThe);
JPanel panel_1 = new JPanel();
panel_1.setBackground(new Color(46, 139, 87));
panel_1.setBounds(0, 0, 450, 63);
menuFrame.getContentPane().add(panel_1);
JButton btnLogout = new JButton("Logout");
btnLogout.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
menuFrame.setVisible(false);
Login login = new Login ();
login.setVisible(true);
}
});
btnLogout.setBounds(307, 222, 117, 29);
menuFrame.getContentPane().add(btnLogout);
JButton btnExit = new JButton("Exit");
btnExit.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
}
});
btnExit.setBounds(10, 222, 117, 29);
menuFrame.getContentPane().add(btnExit);
}
}
Both of these classes are under a package called ems.
I am very new to programming and help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
You are creating another JFrame inside of Login and Menu, which is wrong, theres also no need that Menu extends Login
Here is the fixed version for Login:
package ems;
import java.awt.EventQueue;

import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
public class Login extends JFrame {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private JTextField usernameField;
private JPasswordField passwordField;
/**
* Launch the application.
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
Login window = new Login();
window.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**

*/
public Login() {
initialize();
}
/**

*/
private void initialize() {
this.setTitle("Login");
this.setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
this.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
JLabel lblUsername = new JLabel("Username");
lblUsername.setBounds(112, 116, 74, 16);
this.getContentPane().add(lblUsername);
JLabel lblPassword = new JLabel("Password");
lblPassword.setBounds(112, 165, 74, 16);
this.getContentPane().add(lblPassword);
usernameField = new JTextField();
usernameField.setBounds(198, 110, 134, 28);
this.getContentPane().add(usernameField);
usernameField.setColumns(10);
passwordField = new JPasswordField();
passwordField.setBounds(198, 159, 134, 28);
this.getContentPane().add(passwordField);
JButton btnLogin = new JButton("Login");
btnLogin.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String uname = usernameField.getText();
String pword = passwordField.getText();
if (uname.equals("test") && pword.equals("test")){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(Login.this, "Login successful.");
Login.this.setVisible(false);
Menu menu = new Menu ();
menu.setVisible (true);
}else{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(Login.this, "Login unsuccessful.");
}
}
});
btnLogin.setBounds(238, 210, 90, 30);
this.getContentPane().add(btnLogin);
JButton btnExit = new JButton("Exit");
btnExit.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
}
});
btnExit.setBounds(108, 210, 90, 30);
this.getContentPane().add(btnExit);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setBackground(new Color(192, 192, 192));
panel.setBounds(91, 86, 258, 163);
this.getContentPane().add(panel);
JLabel lblLoginToThe = new JLabel("LOGIN TO THE ELECTRICITY MONITORING SYSTEM");
lblLoginToThe.setForeground(new Color(255, 255, 255));
lblLoginToThe.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 16));
lblLoginToThe.setBounds(26, 23, 418, 16);

}
And for Menu

/**

/**

this.setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
this.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
JLabel lblLoginToThe = new JLabel("THE ELECTRICITY MONITORING SYSTEM");
lblLoginToThe.setForeground(new Color(255, 255, 255));
lblLoginToThe.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 16));

this.getContentPane().add(lblLoginToThe);
JPanel panel_1 = new JPanel();
panel_1.setBackground(new Color(46, 139, 87));
panel_1.setBounds(0, 0, 450, 63);
this.getContentPane().add(panel_1);
JButton btnLogout = new JButton("Logout");
btnLogout.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
Menu.this.setVisible(false);
Login login = new Login ();
login.setVisible(true);
}
});
btnLogout.setBounds(307, 222, 117, 29);
this.getContentPane().add(btnLogout);
JButton btnExit = new JButton("Exit");
btnExit.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
}
});
btnExit.setBounds(10, 222, 117, 29);
this.getContentPane().add(btnExit);
}
}
Still looking, but:
menuFrame.getContentPane().add(lblLoginToThe);
The content pane isn't a container, you can't add multiple things to it. You need to put everything in a panel (note panel != pane) and then add one panel to the content pane.
Also don't call setBounds() directly, use a layout manager. That's another reason you could be seeing nothing: all your components are drawn outside of the window or some other similar error. Layout managers will fix that.
EDIT: And as Edwardth said you have a habit of declaring your classes to be a thing (like JFrame) and then creating a second JFrame inside the initialize method. Don't do that.
public class Login extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
...
private void initialize() {
loginFrame = new JFrame(); // BAD!
The JFrame was already made when you declared that Login extends JFrame you don't need a second frame.
Edwardth got the answer before me so go ahead and study his example and then mark his answer correct. Ask in the comments below if you have further questions.
Here's my example of the Login class, without the setBounds().
class Login extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
private JTextField usernameField;
private JPasswordField passwordField;
/**
* Create the application.
*/
public Login() {
initialize();
}
/**
* Initialize the contents of the frame.
*/
private void initialize() {
setTitle("Login");
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JLabel lblUsername = new JLabel("Username");
JLabel lblPassword = new JLabel("Password");
usernameField = new JTextField();
usernameField.setColumns(10);
passwordField = new JPasswordField();
JPanel loginPanel = new JPanel( new GridLayout( 0,2 ) );
loginPanel.add( lblUsername );
loginPanel.add( usernameField );
loginPanel.add( lblPassword );
loginPanel.add( passwordField );
JButton btnLogin = new JButton("Login");
btnLogin.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String uname = usernameField.getText();
String pword = passwordField.getText();
if (uname.equals("test") && pword.equals("test")){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( Login.this, "Login successful.");
setVisible(false);
Menu menu = new Menu ();
menu.setVisible (true);
}else{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( Login.this, "Login unsuccessful.");
}
}
});
JButton btnExit = new JButton("Exit");
btnExit.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
}
});
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setBackground(new Color(192, 192, 192));
panel.add( btnLogin );
panel.add( btnExit );
JLabel lblLoginToThe = new JLabel("LOGIN TO THE ELECTRICITY MONITORING SYSTEM");
lblLoginToThe.setForeground(new Color(255, 255, 255));
lblLoginToThe.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 16));
JPanel panel_1 = new JPanel();
panel_1.setBackground(new Color(46, 139, 87));
panel_1.add( lblLoginToThe );
Box topBox = Box.createVerticalBox();
topBox.add( panel_1 );
topBox.add( loginPanel );
topBox.add( panel );
add( topBox );
pack();
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
And the Main class:
class Menu extends JFrame {
/**
* Launch the application.
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
Menu window = new Menu();
window.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**
* Create the application.
*/
public Menu() {
initialize();
}
/**
* Initialize the contents of the frame.
*/
private void initialize() {
setTitle("Menu");
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Box topBox = Box.createVerticalBox();
JLabel lblLoginToThe = new JLabel("THE ELECTRICITY MONITORING SYSTEM");
lblLoginToThe.setForeground(new Color(255, 255, 255));
lblLoginToThe.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 16));
topBox.add( lblLoginToThe ); // **********
JPanel panel_1 = new JPanel();
panel_1.setBackground(new Color(46, 139, 87));
topBox.add( panel_1 ); // *************
JButton btnLogout = new JButton("Logout");
btnLogout.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
Menu.this.setVisible(false);
Login login = new Login ();
login.setVisible(true);
}
});
topBox.add( btnLogout ); //****************
JButton btnExit = new JButton("Exit");
btnExit.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
}
});
topBox.add( btnExit );
add( topBox );
pack();
}
}

I have a login and a register panel and a window to hold all the panels. What I am trying to do is to go to the login panel when the register button is pressed. But it does not work. The method that I use would work if the login panel is inside the window but when it is in its own class it doesn't. Can someone please let me know how to do this?

I have tried other ways too but it doesnt work!
I have made a parentPanel that has a CardLayout on it, and under this I've made 4 more JPanel containers.
On the left side I have 4 buttons that when I press "Forside" (button) I want to switch to the panel on the card layout (Forside) and so on...
I've tried different youtube tutorials and tried to look on here without any success.
Everything I have tried has ended up with a NullPointerException

I'd just want it so the right buttons leads to the right cards.
first of all please next time take #AndrewThompson advise about making a MCVE of your code and #camickr advise about the test and debug in little steps before going to the real code (this is the expert programming 101).
the CardLayout object switches between the content of the container via the method
CardLayout.show(Container parent, String name);
keep in mind when making navigation in your swing code DO-NOT make your Components fields in a method instead make it local variables (at least in your case the parentPanel and the CardLayout)
so in order to make your parentPanel switch between your 4 panels (sorry am not familiar with your language) i did a fairly refactored version of your code .

I have 2 JTextField and 2 JPasswordField component in my swing java which frame looks as below:
When ShowAllDetails button is clicked, all the entered details is displayed in JtextArea as shown below:
Below is the code for the same:

/**

public static void main(String[] args)
{

{
try
{

window.frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**

*/
public PopUpTest()
{

}
/**

private void initialize()
{
frame = new JFrame();
frame.setBounds(100, 100, 444, 403);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
JLabel lblSourceUserName = new JLabel("SourceUserName:");
lblSourceUserName.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.BOLD, 16));
lblSourceUserName.setBounds(15, 62, 170, 20);
frame.getContentPane().add(lblSourceUserName);
passSourcePassword = new JPasswordField();

frame.getContentPane().add(lblSourcePassword);
txtSourceUserName = new JTextField();
txtSourceUserName.setBounds(16, 81, 146, 26);
frame.getContentPane().add(txtSourceUserName);
txtSourceUserName.setColumns(10);
JLabel lblTargetUserName = new JLabel("TargetUserName:");

frame.getContentPane().add(lblTargetPassword);
passTargetPassword = new JPasswordField();
passTargetPassword.setBounds(240, 153, 147, 26);
frame.getContentPane().add(passTargetPassword);
JLabel lblEnterBelowDetails = new JLabel("Enter Below Details:");
lblEnterBelowDetails.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.BOLD, 16));
lblEnterBelowDetails.setBounds(15, 26, 187, 20);
frame.getContentPane().add(lblEnterBelowDetails);
JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
textArea.setBounds(15, 252, 365, 85);
frame.getContentPane().add(textArea);
JButton btnShowAllDetails = new JButton("Show All Details:");
btnShowAllDetails.setBounds(15, 207, 226, 29);
frame.getContentPane().add(btnShowAllDetails);
btnShowAllDetails.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0)
{
textArea.append(txtSourceUserName.getText() + "\n");
textArea.append(passSourcePassword.getText() + "\n");
textArea.append(txtTargetUserName.getText() + "\n");
textArea.append(passTargetPassword.getText() + "\n");
}
});
}
}
Now instead of diplaying these 4 components on loading the main frame instead, i want to diplay these 4 components in a Pop up Window on click of a button as below:
Also on clicking of Show All Details button should work as before.(i.e. it should populate JtextArea with the values entered in Pop Up)
How can I achieve this?
I have gone through other blogs as well however didn't find to show such multiple JPasswordField/JTextField in popup.Any guidance would be highly appreciated.
Just add the new components (JTextFields and JPasswordFields) within a button listener and call repaint() and revalidate() on the frame after that.
Here is a solution without proper layout:

By the way: try to read about layout managers as soon as possible, because absolute coordinates are a pain in the ass ;-)
I've made a JPanel with a image as background. But while loading the JPanel first time the rest of the added components but the image are not visible. After rolling the mouse over the image, the buttons become visible. How to make the JButtons visible along with the image as background while loading the panel.
Here is the piece of my code:
contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.setBorder(new SoftBevelBorder(BevelBorder.LOWERED, null, null, null, null));
setContentPane(contentPane);
contentPane.setLayout(null);
homePanel.setBounds(10, 11, 959, 620);
homePanel.setLayout(null);
JPanel wizardPanel = new JPanel();
wizardPanel.setBounds(10, 295, 545, 336);
wizardPanel.setLayout(null);
homePanel.add(wizardPanel);
JLabel backgroundLabel;
try {
backgroundLabel = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(ImageIO.read(new File("images/nature.jpg"))));
backgroundLabel.setBounds(0, 0, 545, 336);
wizardPanel.add(backgroundLabel);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
JButton btnNewButton = new JButton("New button");
btnNewButton.setBounds(309, 95, 89, 23);
wizardPanel.add(btnNewButton);
JButton btnNewButton_1 = new JButton("New button");
btnNewButton_1.setBounds(309, 150, 89, 23);
wizardPanel.add(btnNewButton_1);
JButton btnNewButton_2 = new JButton("New button");
btnNewButton_2.setBounds(309, 212, 89, 23);
wizardPanel.add(btnNewButton_2);
It's a bad idea to place button over label. Better way is to paint image as panel background or to use JLayer. Here is an example for the first solution:
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.LayoutManager;
import java.util.Objects;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.WindowConstants;
public class JImagePanel extends JPanel {
private final Image image;
private boolean scale;
public JImagePanel(Image anImage) {
image = Objects.requireNonNull(anImage);
}
public JImagePanel(Image anImage, LayoutManager aLayout) {
super(aLayout);
image = Objects.requireNonNull(anImage);
}
/**
* {#inheritDoc}
*/
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
final Image toDraw = scale? image.getScaledInstance(getWidth(), getHeight(), Image.SCALE_SMOOTH) : image;
g.drawImage(toDraw, 0, 0, this);
}
/**
* {#inheritDoc}
*/
#Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
if (isPreferredSizeSet()) {
return super.getPreferredSize();
} else {
return new Dimension(image.getWidth(this), image.getHeight(this));
}
}
public boolean isScale() {
return scale;
}
public void setScale(boolean scale) {
this.scale = scale;
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
final JImagePanel p =
new JImagePanel(ImageIO.read(JImagePanel.class.getResource("myImage.png")), new FlowLayout());
p.setScale(true);
p.add(new JButton("Button"));
final JFrame frm = new JFrame("Image test");
frm.add(p);
frm.pack();
frm.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frm.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
}
A quick solution might be directly setting JFrame content pane to the image and adding your components to the content pane of this JFrame. Assuming your code is from the body of a JFrame class. My suggestion would more or less look like this:

this is crazy !! I got it working by placing the JButtons initialization code block above the Image loading portion it works .....

What I am trying to do is this,
when I enter the details it will validate if the textFiled is empty when a button is pressed, if it is empty it will display a message saying that.
Then it will move to the next textFile similar to many web based registration forms,
what I am trying to find out is why wont the message change?
Pasting this code into an ecilpse file and running it should display the simple frame and what I am trying to do.
The message displays on the bottom of the frame when the firstname field is empty,
can anyone explain why it doesn't show the next message when the firstname field containes text and the middlename contains no text?
Most of the logic is at the bottom of the code.

I recommend that you use an InputVerifier as this will verify that the contents of the JTextField are correct (any way that you wish to define this) before allowing you to even leave the JTextField. Now it won't stop you from pressing other JButtons and whatnot, so you'll need to take other precautions if you have a submit button. An example of a simple InputVerifier that checks to see if the JTextField is empty is shown below:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
#SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class InputVerifierExample extends JPanel {
public static final Color WARNING_COLOR = Color.red;
private JTextField firstNameField = new JTextField(10);
private JTextField middleNameField = new JTextField(10);
private JTextField lastNameField = new JTextField(10);
private JTextField[] nameFields = {
firstNameField,
middleNameField,
lastNameField };
private JLabel warningLabel = new JLabel(" ");
public InputVerifierExample() {
warningLabel.setOpaque(true);
JPanel namePanel = new JPanel();
namePanel.add(new JLabel("Name:"));
MyInputVerifier verifier = new MyInputVerifier();
for (JTextField field : nameFields) {
field.setInputVerifier(verifier);
namePanel.add(field);
}
namePanel.add(new JButton(new SubmitBtnAction()));
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(namePanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
add(warningLabel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
}
private class SubmitBtnAction extends AbstractAction {
public SubmitBtnAction() {
super("Submit");
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
// first check all fields aren't empty
for (JTextField field : nameFields) {
if (field.getText().trim().isEmpty()) {
return; // return if empty
}
}
String name = "";
for (JTextField field : nameFields) {
name += field.getText() + " ";
field.setText("");
}
name = name.trim();
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(InputVerifierExample.this, name, "Name Entered",
JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
}
}
private class MyInputVerifier extends InputVerifier {
#Override

warningLabel.setText("Please do not leave this field empty");
warningLabel.setBackground(WARNING_COLOR);
return false;
}

}

have look at DocumentListener,
on start_up to enable only first JTextField, if any (up to you) character was typed into first JTextField, then enable second JTextField, and so on...,
if you want to filtering, change or replace output came from keyboard the to use DocumentFilter
change background for example to Color.red (from DocumentListeners events), in the case that one of JTextFields contains incorect lenght, data e.g.
agree with HFOE about LayoutManagers
