refresh a JLabel - java

This is as the title says, I need your help to refresh the contents of a JLabel.
I explain my worries.
I have a first JFarm or I have a calendar (a DatePicker) which allows me to select a date and a button.
When I click on the button it opens a new window and in this famous window I have my JLabel or I would like to see my date.
In this last window I wrote:
System.out.println(datePicker.getDate());
labelDate.setText(datePicker.getDate());
When I first open my window everything works fine, but if I close it, I change the date in my DatePicker and reopen the window by clicking on my button the date does not change !!!
It always remains on the first date sent.
Yet my:
System.out.println(datePicker.getDate());
Returns the correct date correctly each time.
Do you have an idea ?
Thank you all.

I post my full code but it's very long and not very clean... sorry.
the main window :
public class App extends JFrame{
private JPanel contentPane;
static final int rowMultiplier = 4;
private DatePicker datePicker;
/**
* Launch the application.
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
App frame = new App();
frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
public App() throws SQLException{
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
this.setTitle("Absences Management");
contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout(0, 0));
setContentPane(contentPane);
// =================== PanelTitle ===================================
JPanel panelTitle = new JPanel();
contentPane.add(panelTitle, BorderLayout.NORTH);
JLabel labelTitle = new JLabel("Absence Management");
panelTitle.add(labelTitle);
// ================== PanelMenu =====================================
JPanel panelMenu = new JPanel();
contentPane.add(panelMenu, BorderLayout.WEST);
panelMenu.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panelMenu, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
// Border and name for the panel
panelMenu.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(" Menu "));
// create buttons and set the actions for the menu
JButton buttonAddClass = new JButton(new ActionButtonClassManagement(this,"Class management"));
JButton buttonQuit = new JButton(new ActionButtonQuit(this," Quit "));
// add different components in the Panel Menu
panelMenu.add(buttonAddClass);
panelMenu.add(buttonQuit);
// ================= PanelCalendar ==================================
JPanel panelCalendar = new JPanel();
contentPane.add(panelCalendar, BorderLayout.CENTER);
panelCalendar.setAlignmentX(CENTER_ALIGNMENT);
// black border for the panel
panelCalendar.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(" Calendar "));
JLabel labelCalendar = new JLabel("CALENDAR :");
panelCalendar.add(labelCalendar);
// ===== create the calendar
// settings
DatePickerSettings dateSettings = new DatePickerSettings();
dateSettings.setVisibleClearButton(false);
// set the current date by default
dateSettings.setAllowEmptyDates(false);
datePicker = new DatePicker(dateSettings);
// create a icon
URL dateImageURL = FullDemo.class.getResource("/img/calendar20x20.png");
Image calendarImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(dateImageURL);
ImageIcon calendarIcon = new ImageIcon(calendarImage);
// create button and set the icon
JButton datePickerButton = datePicker.getComponentToggleCalendarButton();
datePickerButton.setText("");
datePickerButton.setIcon(calendarIcon);
// add the calendar to the PanelCalendar
panelCalendar.add(datePicker);
// create a button Show absences
JButton buttonAbsence = new JButton(new ActionButtonAbsences(this,"Absences", datePicker));
//add the button to the panelCalendar
panelCalendar.add(buttonAbsence);
}
}
The class for my button Absence :
public class ActionButtonAbsences extends AbstractAction{
private App windowAbsence;
private DatePicker datePicker = new DatePicker();
private String dateString = new String();
public ActionButtonAbsences(App app, String textButton, DatePicker datePicker) {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
super(textButton);
this.datePicker = datePicker;
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
dateString = datePicker.getText();
WindowAbsence fen = new WindowAbsence(windowAbsence, datePicker, dateString);
}
}
And the window that opens when I press the button Absence :
public class WindowAbsence extends JDialog implements ActionListener{
private static JPanel panelWindow = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
private JPanel panelTitle = new JPanel();
private JPanel panelWindowLeft = new JPanel();
private JPanel panelWindowRight = new JPanel();
private JComboBox comboBoxClass;
private JComboBox comboBoxStudent;
private DatePicker datePicker;
private JLabel labelDate = new JLabel();
private String dateString = new String();
private ModelTable modelTableAbsence = new ModelTable();
private JTable tableAbsence = new JTable(modelTableAbsence);
public WindowAbsence(Frame frame, DatePicker datePicker, String date){
//super call the constructor of the main window
// the first argument is the mother window
// the second argument disable this window
super(frame,true);
labelDate.setText(datePicker.getText());
this.dateString = date;
// add BorderLayout in this Window
this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
// name of the window
this.setTitle("Absences");
// size of the window
this.setSize(700, 600);
// effect for the red cross
this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
this.datePicker = datePicker;

Thank you for your help.

Again me,
I found my error !
In my WindowAbsence :

The panel it was in static...
i hope will serve for someone !

Can I add a Table inside of a JTabbedPane?

I'm very new at using JPanels/Tabs and so have run into a bunch of issues with my code.
I've created a table from SQL that I want to be able to be viewed inside of a tab.
So I have a class first of all that includes a login and then takes you to a window with three tabs:
public class UserInterface
{
UserInterface() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame(); //create a frame
frame.setTitle("Bet Worthiness"); //sets title of frame
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); //system exit when user closes window
frame.setResizable(false); //prevents user from resizing frame
JTextField text = new JTextField(10); //creates a text box
frame.getContentPane().setBackground(new Color(255, 243, 181)); //background colour
//Create panels
JPanel accountTab = new JPanel();
JPanel bettingTab = new JPanel();
JPanel leaderboardTab = new JPanel();
JTabbedPane tabs = new JTabbedPane(); //Create the tab container
tabs.setBounds(40, 20, 1400, 700); //Set tab container position
//Account Details label
JLabel accountLabel = new JLabel();
accountLabel.setText("Account Details");
accountLabel.setFont(new Font("Helvetica", Font.BOLD, 20));
accountTab.add(accountLabel);
//Betting label
JLabel bettingLabel = new JLabel();
bettingLabel.setText("Place Bets");
bettingLabel.setFont(new Font("Helvetica", Font.BOLD, 20));
bettingTab.add(bettingLabel);
//Leaderboard label
JLabel leaderboardLabel = new JLabel();
leaderboardLabel.setText("Leaderboard");
leaderboardLabel.setFont(new Font("Helvetica", Font.BOLD, 20));
leaderboardTab.add(leaderboardLabel);
//Associate each panel with the corresponding tab
tabs.add("Account", accountTab);
tabs.add("Betting", bettingTab);
tabs.add("Leaderboard", leaderboardTab);
frame.add(tabs); //Add tabs to the frame
frame.setSize(1500, 800);
frame.setLayout(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
I have then created a table on SQL in a separate class that I want to be embedded in the 'leaderboard' tab:
public class Leaderboard extends JFrame {
public void displayLeaderboard() {
try
{
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/bettingappdb";
String user = "root";
String password = "lucyb";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
String query = "SELECT * FROM users";
Statement stm = con.createStatement();
ResultSet res = stm.executeQuery(query);
String columns[] = { "Username", "Success Rate" };
String data[][] = new String[20][3];
int i = 0;
while (res.next()) {
String nom = res.getString("Username");
int successRate = res.getInt("SuccessRate");
data[i][0] = nom;
data[i][1] = successRate + "";
i++;
}
DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data, columns);
JTable table = new JTable(model);
table.setShowGrid(true);
table.setShowVerticalLines(true);
JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(table);
JFrame f = new JFrame("Leaderboard");
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.add(pane);
f.add(panel);
f.setSize(500, 500);
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.setVisible(true);
} catch(SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Is there any way to put this table within the tab? Thank you :)
You could add the following to your Code.
JPanel lbTab = new JPanel();
Leaderboard leaderboard = new Leaderboard();
lbTab.add(leaderboard);
the Leaderboard is now in your JTabbedPane. If you want to add the Leaderboard as well as the leaderboardLabel in one Tab i suggest something like https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/panel.html or How to layout? (JFrame, JPanel, etc.) for your first steps :) .

Java Swing ItemListener for CheckBox not responding to state change

What I am after is I would like for whenever someone checks a checkbox, the text for which the box they selected is output to the right panel(I have a split pane). Right now it is not responding so I don't think my BoxHandler is working properly(implements ItemListener). My function addBoxListeners is supposed to add item listeners for each checkbox that I have and the function I overrode in BoxHandler, function itemStateChanged should add text to the right panel, and I know that addText is working because I tested it outside of the itemListener stuff.
void addText(String s) { // adds text to the right panel, adds string s
JLabel temp = new JLabel();
temp.setText(s);
temp.setBorder(border1);
rightPanel.add(temp);
}
void addBoxes() {
int i = 0;
GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
gbc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
JCheckBox tempBox = new JCheckBox("word " + i);
boxes.add(tempBox);
leftPanel.add(tempBox, gbc);
//leftPanel.add(new JCheckBox("word" + i), gbc);
}
}
private class BoxHandler implements ItemListener{
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent event) {
for (JCheckBox checkBox : boxes) {
if (checkBox.isSelected() ) {
addText(checkBox.getText());
}
}
}
}
void addBoxListeners() { // add listeners to all the boxes in the arraylist
BoxHandler handler = new BoxHandler();
int i = 0;
for ( i = 0; i < boxes.size(); i++) {
boxes.get(i).addItemListener(handler);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
CheckBox2 cb = new CheckBox2();
cb.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
cb.pack();
cb.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
cb.addBoxListeners();
cb.setVisible(true);
}
Below is part of my class declaration:
public class CheckBox2 extends JFrame {
private ArrayList<JCheckBox> boxes = new ArrayList<JCheckBox>();
JSplitPane splitPane;
EmptyBorder border1 = new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5);
private JPanel leftPanel = new JPanel();
private JPanel rightPanel = new JPanel();

Java; Update second ComboBox after selection in first ComboBox

I've been trying to get te grips of Java (just because:)). At the moment I'm stuck on a 'calculator'. My intention is to select a overall subject through a ComboBox after which a second ComboBox shows which units can be calculated for said subject.
My problem is that the second ComboBox does not update and I'm having a hard time finding my oversight. Is anyone able to show my where I'm going wrong?
note: The terms for unitstring are placeholders for the time being:).
public class UserInterface implements Runnable{
String unitstring = "Select a subject";
#Override
public void run() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Radiation Calculator 2.0");
frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(350, 250));
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
createComponents(frame.getContentPane());
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public void createComponents(Container container) {
GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(4, 2);
container.setLayout(layout);
JLabel subject = new JLabel("Select a subject");
String[] subjectStrings = {"Wavelenght", "Radioactive Decay", "Radiation Dose"};
JComboBox subjectsel = new JComboBox(subjectStrings);
subjectsel.addActionListener(this::actionPerformed);
JLabel unit = new JLabel("Select a unit");
String[] unitStrings = {unitstring};
JComboBox unitsel = new JComboBox(unitStrings);
JLabel input = new JLabel("Select a input");
JTextField userinput = new JTextField("");
JButton calculate = new JButton("Calculate");
JTextArea result = new JTextArea("");
container.add(subject);
container.add(subjectsel);
container.add(unit);
container.add(unitsel);
container.add(input);
container.add(userinput);
container.add(calculate);
container.add(result);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JComboBox cb = (JComboBox) e.getSource();
int print = cb.getSelectedIndex();
System.out.println(print);
unitArray(print);
}
public void unitArray(int x) {
if (x == 0) {
unitstring = "Lambda";
}
if (x == 1) {
unitstring = "Bequerel";
}
if (x == 2) {
unitstring = "Gray";
}
System.out.println(unitstring);
}
}

A JPanel is opaque by default so you see a grey background.
You need to use:
panel.setOpaque( false );
if you add a panel to your component containing the background image.
By the way you should NOT be using static variables. Look at the examples from the Swing tutorial for a better way to create your frames. That is create a class to represent your game. This would be a JPanel. Then you define all the variables you need for you game in this class. Then you simple add the panel to the frame. You should NOT be createing components in the main() method.

Best way to pass values from JTextField into a method?

Currently working on a BMR/TDEE calculator. This calculator consists of taking the users age, gender, weight and height, and uses this information to calculate a BMR and TDEE value. I've created a GUI for this, and my final step is to do the actual calculations. (Some minor changes left to do i.e. changing the height panel but thats irrelevant to this question).
What is the best way to pass instance variables into static methods? My JTextField's are instance variables within my class, and I have two methods to calculate BMR and TDEE respectively (static methods).
Code is posted below.
The variables I need to use are pretty much all the textField ones, and these need to be passed into calcBMR() and calcTDEE(). My initial idea was to make all of these variables static and just use getText() and plug these values into the formula I'm using, which goes something along the lines of:
10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) - 5 x age (y) + 5.
Does this way sound feasible or is there a better way given my code? Any advice on how to do this efficiently is appreciated.
