I want to be able to validate a number of different JTextFields in my java project. One being to ensure the user enters a number into a particular field.
Another problem I'm having is being able to validate a particular number, such as 1234 in a field when a submit button is pressed.
If I have to create a method in a separate class then that fine but how would I call the method into my GUI class to use for my JTextField.
I'm quite new to Java and find some of this hard so any help is greatly appreciated.
At the minute I have:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
public class CashDialog extends JDialog {
private final JPanel contentPanel = new JPanel();
private JTextField txtEmilysBistro;
private JTextField textconfirmNumber;
private String confirmNumber;
private JButton btnSubmit;
/**
* Launch the application.
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
CashDialog dialog = new CashDialog();
dialog.setDefaultCloseOperation(JDialog.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
dialog.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
/**
* Create the dialog.
*/
public CashDialog() {
this.confirmNumber = confirmNumber;
setBounds(100, 100, 526, 372);
getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
contentPanel.setBackground(new Color(255, 0, 153));
contentPanel.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
getContentPane().add(contentPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
contentPanel.setLayout(null);
{
txtEmilysBistro = new JTextField();
txtEmilysBistro.setBackground(new Color(255, 0, 153));
txtEmilysBistro.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
txtEmilysBistro.setForeground(new Color(255, 255, 255));
txtEmilysBistro.setFont(new Font("AR ESSENCE", Font.PLAIN, 50));
txtEmilysBistro.setEditable(false);
txtEmilysBistro.setText("Emily's Bistro");
txtEmilysBistro.setBounds(0, 0, 504, 57);
contentPanel.add(txtEmilysBistro);
txtEmilysBistro.setColumns(10);
}
JTextArea txtrConfirm = new JTextArea();
txtrConfirm.setForeground(new Color(255, 255, 255));
txtrConfirm.setBackground(new Color(255, 0, 153));
txtrConfirm.setEditable(false);
txtrConfirm.setFont(new Font("AR ESSENCE", Font.PLAIN, 25));
txtrConfirm.setText("Please allow your waiter/waitress to enter the confirmation number.");
txtrConfirm.setBounds(54, 73, 407, 77);
contentPanel.add(txtrConfirm);
txtrConfirm.setLineWrap(true);
textconfirmNumber = new JTextField();
textconfirmNumber.setFont(new Font("AR ESSENCE", Font.PLAIN, 30));
textconfirmNumber.setBounds(147, 148, 227, 47);
contentPanel.add(textconfirmNumber);
textconfirmNumber.setColumns(10);
btnSubmit = new JButton("Submit");
btnSubmit.setBackground(new Color(102, 51, 255));
btnSubmit.setForeground(new Color(255, 255, 255));
btnSubmit.setFont(new Font("AR ESSENCE", Font.PLAIN, 25));
btnSubmit.setBounds(184, 211, 162, 29);
contentPanel.add(btnSubmit);
}
}
In this particular text field I only want it to accept the number 1234 in the text field.
There are a few issues with your code, but that is beside the point. To address your question specifically here is one approach. Grant it, you'd probably want to handle it differently, verify you are getting an integer instead of comparing strings, but still this is how you'd add a listener to your submit button.
btnSubmit.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0)
{
final String data = txtrConfirm.getText();
if( data.compareTo("1234") != 0 )
{
// alert the user
}
else
{
// data is good, do something with it
}
}
});

What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it?

Closed 8 months ago.
I am working on a school project and I want to add text from a text field through a button to a combo box. I save the Object with its attributes and then I add it to the combo box: in my case cbbkateaus.
When I run the app it doesn't add it to the combo box and I get this error
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException

Followed by further javax.swing... errors but I think the former is the relevant one. I tried it with the String that I have in // but it leads to the same result.

The stack trace you posted says it's on line 119, though I'm not sure which line that is. I pasted the entire code into a local editor and see only 117 lines.
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
at MtVwGui$2.actionPerformed(MtVwGui.java:119)
The stack trace does show that it was thrown by actionPerformed(), which is your code. From there, we can infer that at least one of the following things in the code block below is null – "at least one" because, pedantically, there might be more than one null waiting for you to discover:
txtKategorien
kategorienListe
cbbkateaus
neueKategorie
btnaddKate.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
neueKategorie = new Kategorien(txtKategorien.getText());
//String addValue = txtKategorien.getText();
kategorienListe.add(neueKategorie);
cbbkateaus.addItem(neueKategorie);
System.out.println("add Kategorie wurde gedrückt");
System.out.println(neueKategorie.getBezeichnung());
}
});
Using a debugger would be best, but adding these lines at the start of your actionPerformed() method would help you identify the problem:
System.out.println("txtKategorien: " + txtKategorien);
System.out.println("kategorienListe: " + kategorienListe);
System.out.println("cbbkateaus: " + cbbkateaus);
System.out.println("neueKategorie: " + neueKategorie);

}
// Cancel Add Item
else if(e.getSource() == goBack){
}
}
}
My goal here is after the user clicked the "Add Item" button from the Main page, it will prompt the user to input the product details such as the name, amount, and price on the add Item GUI. it will then take the user input and list it on the main page. After that it will calculate the total amount of items on the list, it's amount, and total price. The problem is that I am currently stuck on how can I pass the user input from the Add Item GUI to the main page. I've been researching but I still couldn't find my way around it. I hope you can help me and any help is much appreciated.
P.S: I'm sorry if you find my code a bit too long because this is what currently I could do with the best of my knowledge and abilities. But don't worry, I know that I shouldn't use setLayout(null) since swing has layout managers that I can use. I am still currently learning more about it so bear with me please.
Usually I have a JFrame holding most of the data. If additional information is required by the application, it will show an input dialog. Most of the time this input is not just a string but some more complex stuff. So here is the pattern I follow:
Create a form derived from JPanel. Add the UI elements you need, and use the bean pattern so the necessary data can be injected/retrieved. Very likely you want to show such input when a button in a pane is pressed, so the ActionListener code can look like this:
FormBean fb = new FormBean();
fb.setData(...); (use setters to display data if required/feasible)
if (JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(this, fb, ...)==JOptionPane.OK_OPTION) {
// user pressed ok, so process the data he entered
fb.getData();
}
The advantage of using JOptionPane.showOptionDialog is that you get a standard modal dialog window without threading issues or the question when to activate your code again.
I know the code is bad and easy. I am a starter and need some help. I want to add a second button to my code. I feel like I changed the coordinates of the button so it doesn't "fall" on the first one. Any suggestions? (Also, .this is a bit unknown to me so I just copy - pasted it hoping it doesnt affect the second button. I feel like it has to do with .this and the coordinates of the button I entered).

Do not add buttons directly to the main frame. Instead, create another panel and add the buttons to it:
Panel newPanel = new Panel(new GridBagLayout());
Button button0 = new Button("BUTTON_0");
button0.setBounds(10, 265, 30, 30);
button0.setFont(new Font("TimesRoman", Font.PLAIN, 14));
button0.setForeground(Color.blue);
button0.setFocusable(false);
Button button1 = new Button("BUTTON_1");
button1.setBounds(10, 265, 30, 30);
button1.setFont(new Font("TimesRoman", Font.PLAIN, 14));
button1.setForeground(Color.blue);
button1.setFocusable(false);
newPanel.add(button0);
newPanel.add(button1);
this.add(newPanel);
After implementing the Observer/Observable pattern, I can't really see why the Frame isn't showing when the code is executed.
I've looked over it a million times but can't figure it out.
I just want to know where I've gone wrong and how I can fix, so that the frame is showing.
Apologies for the code dump. Would be very grateful for the assistance.

Change your main() method to this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
MainGameFrame window = new MainGameFrame();
window.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
At the end of the initialize() method, add some code that will make MainGameFrame() visible:
this.setVisible(true);
I also suggest you use a Layout Manager to organize the components. Oracle has some great tutorials on how to use different layouts. How to Use Various Layout Managers

Allowing the "Enter" key to press the submit button, as opposed to only using MouseClick
(7 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
Im doing this program and this frame signs up the new users.
What I want is to be able to fill in each text field with the information and then to press the "Cadastrar" key ("Cadastrar" = "Sign up"), not only with the mouse but also with the "Enter" key.
I tried using a keyListener but it turned out to be a little to confusing to me.
Here's the code:
package grafico;
public class TelaDeCadastro extends JFrame {
private TextField campoConfirmaSenha;
private TextField campoNome;
private TextField campoEmail;
private TextField campoSenha;
private TextField dicaDeSenha;
public static void main(String[] args) {
public TelaDeCadastro() {
setResizable(false);
setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(
TelaDeCadastro.class.getResource("/Files/CashLog.png")));
setTitle("Cadastro");
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 300));
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
JButton botaoCadastrar = new JButton("Cadastrar");
botaoCadastrar.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
#Override
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER) {
}
}
});
botaoCadastrar.setBounds(139, 196, 115, 35);
JButton botaoVoltar = new JButton("Voltar");
botaoVoltar.setBounds(10, 231, 90, 30);
JButton botaoSair = new JButton("Sair");
botaoSair.setBounds(294, 231, 90, 30);
ButtonGroup botoesRetorno = new ButtonGroup();
botoesRetorno.add(botaoSair);
botoesRetorno.add(botaoVoltar);
// botão para submeter as informações passadas
botaoCadastrar.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
});
// botão sair fecha o programa
botaoSair.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
// botão voltar retorna para a tela de login
botaoVoltar.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
JPanel container = new JPanel();
container.setLayout(null);
dicaDeSenha = new TextField();
dicaDeSenha.setBounds(109, 159, 265, 22);
container.add(dicaDeSenha);
campoConfirmaSenha = new TextField();
campoConfirmaSenha.setEchoChar('*');
campoConfirmaSenha.setBounds(138, 126, 236, 23);
container.add(campoConfirmaSenha);
campoSenha = new TextField();
campoSenha.setEchoChar('*');
campoSenha.setBounds(109, 93, 265, 23);
container.add(campoSenha);
campoEmail = new TextField();
campoEmail.setBounds(109, 62, 265, 23);
container.add(campoEmail);
campoNome = new TextField();
campoNome.setBounds(109, 31, 265, 23);
container.add(campoNome);
JLabel labelNome = new javax.swing.JLabel("Seu nome:");
labelNome.setBounds(10, 35, 364, 14);
container.add(labelNome);

container.add(labelEmail);

container.add(labelSenha);
JLabel lblConfirmarSenha = new JLabel("Confirmar senha:");
lblConfirmarSenha.setBounds(10, 126, 122, 15);
container.add(lblConfirmarSenha);
JLabel lblDicaDaSenha = new JLabel("Dica da senha:");
lblDicaDaSenha.setBounds(10, 162, 90, 14);
container.add(lblDicaDaSenha);
container.add(botaoCadastrar);
container.add(botaoVoltar);
container.add(botaoSair);
getContentPane().add(container);
JLabel lblCadastrese = new JLabel("Cadastre-se:");
lblCadastrese.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
lblCadastrese.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);
lblCadastrese.setBounds(10, 9, 364, 14);
container.add(lblCadastrese);
JLabel label = new JLabel("");
label.setIcon(new ImageIcon(TelaDeCadastro.class
.getResource("/Files/conta-sem-tarifa.jpg")));
label.setBounds(0, 0, 400, 300);
container.add(label);
pack();
}
public TextField getCampoConfirmaSenha() {
public TextField getCampoNome() {
public TextField getCampoEmail() {
public TextField getCampoSenha() {
public TextField getDicaDeSenha() {
}
Don't use KeyListener (or for that matter MouseListener) with buttons.
Buttons are backed by the ActionListener API which deals with Enter, Space, other platform specific activation key strokes, left mouse clicks and mnemonics automatically...
Take a look at How to Use Buttons, Check Boxes, and Radio Buttons and How to Write an Action Listener for more details.
You should also have a look at How to Use Root Panes, as JRootPane allows you to define a "default" button which will be actived when the user presses the "activation" key stroke. Just beware, that if the component with focus consumes that event, it won't active the button though
Generally speaking, you should avoid KeyListener where ever possible and favor the key bindings API instead anyway
