For instance, I want the program to run multiple times without stopping after somebody has pressed the "Please hit to finish process". However, when I do run the GUI method again, only the first panel shows up. Unsure of why this is happening.

If you want to cleanly restart a GUI, and make sure that the new GUI is 100% independent from the previous one, the best way is to dispose of the previous one, and create a brand new instance.
The biggest problem in your case is that all your fields and methods are static. This is wrong. You should typically have something like:
public class Hotel extends JFrame {
public JPanel pan;
...
public Hotel() {
super("Kiosk");
createGUI();
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
setSize(600,400);
}
public void createGUI(){
pan = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
c = new GridBagConstraints();
add(pan);
...
If you want to restart the GUI, it's then very simple:
restart.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
dispose();
new Hotel();
}
});
If you just want to reset a particular panel within the frame, you can remove it from its container, and add a new instance:
somepanel.remove(somesubpanel);
somepanel.add(createSubpanel());

So, I have a login JFrame which shows up when I run the code. The problem is if the user enters the correct userName and password this login frame needs to be disposed when the other frame is shown up but it doesn't. I tried dispose(), setVisible = false, but still no chance to be hidden or disposed.
class LoggingWindow extends JFrame {
static JFrame loginFrame = new JFrame();
JPanel loginPanel = new JPanel();
JTextField loginNameFld = new JTextField(10);
JPasswordField loginPassFld = new JPasswordField(10);
JTextField statusFld = new JTextField(11);
String userName = "user";

some, i think unimportant statements are not shown for the sake of brevity
I believe you confused "loginWindow" with "loginFrame". You try to use
loginFrame.dispose();
but your content is on loginWindow, not loginFrame.
I was able to get it to dispose the username window doing the following.
static JFrame loginWindow; <--- create as class variable, not local.
//loginFrame.add(loginPanel); <--- doesn't appear that this is actually used
if(event.getSource() == loginBtn){
if (name.equals(userName) && pass.equals(password)) {
MainFrame.initMainFrame();
//loginFrame.dispose(); <--- again, not used
loginWindow.dispose(); <--- want to dispose
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Системд нэвтэрлээ. Өнөөдөр " , " ", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
} else {
statusFld.setText("Нэр эсвэл нууц үг буруу байна.");
}
}
You must also change this:
JFrame loginWindow = new LoggingWindow();
to:
loginWindow = new LoggingWindow();
You can always dispatch the "close" event to the JFrame object:
loginFrame.dispatchEvent(new WindowEvent(loginFrame, WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING));
I definitely confused with loginFrame was indeed useless. I created a class variable: static JFrame loginWindow; but it results NullPointerException.
I'm working on my very first GUI app.
I have an ArrayList of the Parent Class Plant of which I have four child classes.
I have some JTextFields with some information and some JCheckBoxs with other information...
The JTextFields should be converted into Strings and the JCheckBoxs into boolean.
I need to add all of these components to an ArrayList and then display the list of the Plants.
How can I do that?
Example:
public class Flower extends Plant{
private boolean thorns;
private boolean smell;
public Flower(String name, String id, String color, boolean blnThorns, boolean blnSmell){
super(name, id, color);
thorns = blnThorns;
smell = blnSmell;
}
public boolean isThorns(){
return thorns;
}
public void setThorns(boolean blnThorns){
thorns = blnThorns;
}
public boolean isSmell(){
return smell;
}
public void setSmell(boolean blnSmell){
smell = blnSmell;
}
}
This is my ArrayList
ArrayList<Plant> plantList = new ArrayList<Plant>();
Here I try to add the parameters for the Flower:
private void addFlower(ArrayList<Plant> plantList){
//Adding window
JFrame addingFrame = new JFrame();
addingFrame.setTitle("Plant Database Interface");
addingFrame.setSize(600, 200);
addingFrame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
addingFrame.setVisible(true);
//ADDING FRAME LAYOUT
addingFrame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
//TRAITS
JPanel fields = new JPanel();
addingFrame.add(fields, BorderLayout.NORTH);
JLabel nameLabel = new JLabel("Name:");
JTextField nameField = new JTextField(15);
String name = nameField.getText();
JLabel idLabel = new JLabel("ID:");
JTextField idField = new JTextField(10);
String id = idField.getText();
JLabel colorLabel = new JLabel("Color:");
JTextField colorField = new JTextField(10);
String color = colorField.getText();
fields.add(nameLabel);
fields.add(nameField);
fields.add(idLabel);
fields.add(idField);
fields.add(colorLabel);
fields.add(colorField);
JPanel traits = new JPanel();
addingFrame.add(traits , BorderLayout.CENTER );
JCheckBox thornsBox = new JCheckBox("Thorns Present");
thornsBox.setSelected(false);
traits.add(thornsBox);
JCheckBox smellBox = new JCheckBox("Smell Present");
smellBox.setSelected(false);
traits.add(smellBox);
JPanel southPanel = new JPanel();
addingFrame.add(southPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
JButton addPlantBtn = new JButton("Add Plant");
southPanel.add(addPlantBtn, BorderLayout.EAST);
JButton cancelBtn = new JButton("Cancel");
southPanel.add(cancelBtn, BorderLayout.WEST);
boolean blnThorns;
boolean blnSmell;
//I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS PART
thornsBox.addItemListener(new ItemListener(){
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e){
if(e.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED){
blnThorns =true;
}
else{
blnThorns = false;
}
}
});
smellBox.addItemListener(new ItemListener(){
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e){
if(e.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED){
blnSmell =true;
}
else{
blnSmell = false;
}
}
});
addPlantBtn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
//plantList.add(new Flower(name, id, color, blnThorns, blnSmell)); //HOW TO DO????................
}
});
cancelBtn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
addingFrame.dispatchEvent(new WindowEvent(addingFrame, WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING));
}
});
}
Use your addPlantBtn ActionListener to gather the information you need when it's called
addPlantBtn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
Flower flower = new Flower(nameField.getText(), idField.getText(), colorField.getText(), thornsBox.isSelected(), smellBox.isSelected());
plantList.add(flower);
You would, also, find it easier, if you created a dedicated JPanel, designed to gather the user details and generate a Flower when you requested it to (from the values of the fields). You could then use this panel on some kind of dialog when ever you needed it.
Have a look at How to Make Dialogs for more details
For example...
public class FlowerPane extends JPanel {
JTextField nameField = new JTextField(15);
JTextField idField = new JTextField(10);
JTextField colorField = new JTextField(10);
JCheckBox smellBox = new JCheckBox("Smell Present");
JCheckBox thornsBox = new JCheckBox("Thorns Present");
public FlowerPane() {
setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
gbc.gridx = 0;
gbc.gridy = 0;
gbc.anchor = GridBagConstraints.WEST;
gbc.insets = new Insets(2, 2, 2, 2);
JLabel nameLabel = new JLabel("Name:");
JLabel idLabel = new JLabel("ID:");
JLabel colorLabel = new JLabel("Color:");
add(nameLabel, gbc);
gbc.gridy++;
add(idLabel, gbc);
gbc.gridy++;
add(idLabel, gbc);
gbc.gridx++;
gbc.gridy = 0;
add(nameField, gbc);
gbc.gridy++;
add(idField, gbc);
gbc.gridy++;
add(colorField, gbc);
gbc.gridx = 0;
gbc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
add(thornsBox, gbc);
gbc.gridy++;
add(smellBox, gbc);
}
public Flower create() {
return new Flower(nameField.getText(), idField.getText(), colorField.getText(), thornsBox.isSelected(), smellBox.isSelected());
}
}
Which you could then use by doing something like...
FlowerPane flowerPane = new FlowerPane();
switch (JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, flowerPane, "Flower", JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION, JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE)) {
case JOptionPane.OK_OPTION:
Flower flower = flowerPane.create();
plantList.add(flower);
break;
}
Or add it to some other container
The first column in my grid always comes out right but then the rest begin replacing the other cells. Also the border layout does not seem to be functioning. I do not know what the problem is. It should have the title on top, a 7x3 grid in the center and the buttons on the bottom. Please help! Thank you!

By default a JPanel uses a FlowLayout. If you want to use a BorderLayout, then you need to set the layout on the panel:
mainPanel = new JPanel( new BorderLayout() );
The GridLayout fills out the rows first so the code should be:
fieldPanel.add(teams);
fieldPanel.add(totalP);
fieldPanel.add(wlt);
fieldPanel.add(team1);
fieldPanel.add(total1);
fieldPanel.add(wlt1);
...
Also note that in your code you are adding the total? fields twice (which won't do anything), instead of the team? fields.
Another way to specify the grid is to just use:
fieldPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(0, 3));
This tells the grid to add 3 components to each row then move on to the next row. This way you don't have to worry about the exact number of rows.
To add to camickr answer you're also adding the same total fields multiple times, so change this:
fieldPanel.add(teams);
fieldPanel.add(total1);
fieldPanel.add(total2);
fieldPanel.add(total3);
fieldPanel.add(total4);
fieldPanel.add(total5);
fieldPanel.add(total6);
to
fieldPanel.add(teams);
fieldPanel.add(team1);
fieldPanel.add(team2);
fieldPanel.add(team3);
fieldPanel.add(team4);
fieldPanel.add(team5);
fieldPanel.add(team6);
This is what is causing your display issue.
Your code should look like:
fieldPanel.add(teams);
fieldPanel.add(totalP);
fieldPanel.add(wlt);
fieldPanel.add(team1);
fieldPanel.add(total1);
fieldPanel.add(wlt1);
fieldPanel.add(team2);
fieldPanel.add(total2);
fieldPanel.add(wlt2);
// etc.
I want to have a random order for displaying the cards or screens in my CardLayout. I need guidance on how to accomplish this. What is strategy I should use?
I tried using the code below, but it is in a fixed order. I want to be able to choose whichever order I like.
EDIT !
Sorry, by random order I did not mean shuffling. But, it is good to know. I want the user of the program to be able to enter some input. Depending on the value of the input, a particular screen/card is displayed.

Obviously this will require some changes to the rest of the code. Here is an SSCCE.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class CardLayoutExample extends JFrame {
private int currentCard = 1;
private JPanel cardPanel;
private CardLayout cl;
public CardLayoutExample() {
setTitle("Card Layout Example");
setSize(300, 150);
cardPanel = new JPanel();
cl = new CardLayout();
cardPanel.setLayout(cl);
JPanel p1 = new JPanel();
JPanel p2 = new JPanel();
JPanel p3 = new JPanel();
JPanel p4 = new JPanel();
JLabel lab1 = new JLabel("Card1");
JLabel lab2 = new JLabel("Card2");
JLabel lab3 = new JLabel("Card3");

p1.add(lab1);

p4.add(lab4);
cardPanel.add(p1, "1");
cardPanel.add(p2, "2");
cardPanel.add(p3, "3");
cardPanel.add(p4, "4");
JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
JButton b1 = new JButton("Previous");
JButton b2 = new JButton("Next");
buttonPanel.add(b1);
buttonPanel.add(b2);
b1.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
if (currentCard > 1) {
currentCard -= 1;
cl.show(cardPanel, "" + (currentCard));
}
}
});
b2.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
if (currentCard < 4) {
currentCard += 1;
cl.show(cardPanel, "" + (currentCard));
}
}
});
final JButton jumpTo = new JButton("Jump To");
buttonPanel.add(jumpTo);
jumpTo.addActionListener( new ActionListener(){
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
String[] names = {"1","2","3","4"};
String s = (String)JOptionPane.showInputDialog(
jumpTo,
"Jump to card",
"Navigate",
JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE,
null,
names,
names[0]);
if (s!=null) {
cl.show(cardPanel, s);
}
}
} );
getContentPane().add(cardPanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
getContentPane().add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
CardLayoutExample cl = new CardLayoutExample();
cl.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
cl.setVisible(true);
}
}
BTW - my comment "Where is the part of the code where you prompt the user for a card number?" was actually a very subtle way to try & communicate.. For better help sooner, post an SSCCE.
I've been spending so long looking at my computer monitor because I really don't know what to do to prevent the frames on my program on appearing simultaneously when I click the Start button.
Here's my main class:
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.util.Random;
import javax.swing.*;
public class PopQuizDemo {
public static void main (String args[]){
PopQuizDemo();
}
public static void PopQuizDemo(){
final SimpleFrame frame = new SimpleFrame();
final JPanel main = new JPanel();
main.setSize(400,75);
main.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,1));
frame.add(main);
JLabel l1 = new JLabel("Welcome to POP Quiz!");
main.add(l1);
JLabel l2 = new JLabel("Enter your name:");
main.add(l2);
final JTextField name = new JTextField ();
main.add(name);
final JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setSize(400,50);
panel.setLocation(0,225);
frame.add(panel);
JButton start = new JButton ("Start");
panel.add(start);
frame.setVisible(true);
start.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
frame.setVisible(false);
randomize();
}
});
}
public static void randomize(){
Questions q = new Questions();
int a=0;
Random randnum = new Random (System.currentTimeMillis());
java.util.HashSet<Integer> myset = new java.util.HashSet<>();
for (int count = 1; count <= 3; count++){
while (true) {
a = randnum.nextInt (3);
if(!myset.contains(a)) { myset.add(new Integer(a)); break;}
}
if(a==0){
q.one();
}
else if(a==1){
q.two();
}
else if(a==2){
q.three();
}
else{
break;
}
}
}
}
And here is the class Question where I get the methods one(), two(), and three():

}
The only problem here is that the when I call the method randomize() in the action listener in the Start button, it shows all the frames. Yes, they are not repeating but it shows simultaneously. I don't know where the problem is. Is it with the method randomize, the looping, the questions? Can someone help me? Please? Big thanks.
PS:
This is the class SimpleFrame
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class SimpleFrame extends JFrame{
public SimpleFrame(){
setSize(400,300);
setTitle("Pop Quiz!");
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setLayout(null);
setResizable(false);
}
}
You can use model dialog to show one after another using a for loop as show below:
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame m = new JFrame("Hello");
m.setSize(200,200);
m.setVisible(true);
for(int i=0;i<3;i++) {
JDialog dlg = new JDialog(m,"Dialog",true);
dlg.setSize(100,100);
dlg.show();
}
}
