JCompenents Not Moving With JFrame

I am trying to create a game about war. I am starting off with just creating a single window. I am using swing to create windows. However, when the user tries to resize the JFrame, the elements don't move with the frame. I am resizing the buttons that I use, as well as my JPanel. My code can be seen below:
Main.java:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import Numbers.Numbers;
public class Main implements ActionListener {
static JFrame frame;
static JPanel titlePane;
static JButton playButton;
static JButton explanationButton;
static JPanel explanationPane;
static JButton nextButton;
static JLabel explanationLabel;
static JButton backButton;
static int frameSize = 500;
public Main(boolean run) {
if (run) {
frame = new JFrame("War");
titlePane = new JPanel(null);
playButton = new JButton("PLAY");
explanationButton = new JButton("HOW TO PLAY");
explanationPane = new JPanel(null);
nextButton = new JButton("NEXT");
backButton = new JButton("BACK");
titlePane.setSize(frameSize, frameSize);
titlePane.add(playButton);
playButton.setBounds(Numbers.doubleToInt(frameSize/2.5), Numbers.doubleToInt(frameSize/2.5), Numbers.doubleToInt(frameSize/5), Numbers.doubleToInt(frameSize/(100/3)));
playButton.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
playButton.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
playButton.setVisible(true);
explanationButton.setBounds(Numbers.doubleToInt(frameSize/2.5), Numbers.doubleToInt(frameSize/(25/11)), Numbers.doubleToInt(frameSize/5), Numbers.doubleToInt(frameSize/(100/3)));
explanationButton.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
explanationButton.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
explanationButton.setVisible(true);
explanationPane.setSize(frameSize, frameSize);
explanationPane.add(nextButton);
nextButton.setBounds(225, 50, 50, 15);
nextButton.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
nextButton.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
nextButton.setVisible(true);
backButton.setBounds(225, 450, 50, 15);
backButton.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
backButton.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
backButton.setVisible(true);
frame.setSize(frameSize, frameSize);
frame.add(titlePane);
frame.add(explanationPane);
titlePane.setVisible(false);
explanationPane.setVisible(false);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}
}
public void switchPane(String pane) {
switch (pane) {
case "title":
titlePane.setVisible(true);
explanationPane.setVisible(false);
break;
case "explanation":
titlePane.setVisible(false);
explanationPane.setVisible(true);
break;
}
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Main war = new Main(true);
war.switchPane("title");
while (true) {
if (frame.getX() != frameSize) {
frameSize = frame.getX();
}
else if (frame.getY() != frameSize) {
frameSize = frame.getY();
}
frame.setSize(frameSize, frameSize);
titlePane.setSize(frameSize, frameSize);
explanationPane.setSize(frameSize, frameSize);
playButton.setBounds(Numbers.doubleToInt(frameSize/2.5), Numbers.doubleToInt(frameSize/2.5), Numbers.doubleToInt(frameSize/5), Numbers.doubleToInt(frameSize/(100/3)));
explanationButton.setBounds(Numbers.doubleToInt(frameSize/2.5), Numbers.doubleToInt(frameSize/(25/11)), Numbers.doubleToInt(frameSize/5), Numbers.doubleToInt(frameSize/(100/3)));
}
}
}
Numbers.java:
package Numbers;
public class Numbers {
public static int doubleToInt(double toConvert) {
int toReturn = (int) toConvert;
return toReturn;
}
}
Any help would be appreciated! :)

#Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {

else{

checkers.incrementScore();
}
}
My Expected result of this should be that if the user clicks the 8th panel in that grid, then the color of that panel will be cyan when pressed and not black, but it cant access the boolean variable? where am i going wrong here?

Your question involves communication between objects of different classes, and there are several ways to do this, but most basic is to call a method of an object in one class to the other.
First lets set up the problem,... I've created classes called MyPanel2 and Checkers2, to distinguish them from yours.
Say in MyPanel2 we have a Checkers2 field and a boolean field called selected that is set to false:
private Checkers2 checkers;
private boolean selected = false;
along with appropriate boolean getter and setter:
public void setSelected(boolean selected) {
this.selected = selected;
}
public boolean isSelected() {
return selected;
}
And say within the Checkers2 class you have a 10 instances of MyPanel2 held within an array, and you want the user to be able to "select" instances of the class, but only allow 7 of them to be selected, and assume that you want to user the set up that you're currently using, you could give the main class, a method, public boolean isPanelDisabled(), and have the MyPanel2 class call this method to determine if selection is allowed. So within MyPanel2 you could have a MouseListener with something like:
#Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
if (selected) {
return;
}
// call the Checkers2 boolean method to check
if (checkers.isPanelDisabled()) {
setBackground(DISABLED_COLOR);
} else {
setBackground(SELECTED_COLOR);
setSelected(true);
}
}
Within Checkers2 .isPanelDisabled() method you'd iterate through the array of MyPanel2 instances to see how many have been selected, something like this could work:
public boolean isPanelDisabled() {
int count = 0;
for (MyPanel2 panel2 : myPanels) {
if (panel2.isSelected()) {
count++;
}
}
return count >= MAX_COUNT;
}
The whole MCVE testable code could look like:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class Checkers2 extends JFrame {
private static final int MAX_COUNT = 7;
private final int ROWS = 2;
private final int COLS = 5;
private final int GAP = 2;
private final int NUM = ROWS * COLS;
private MyPanel2[] myPanels = new MyPanel2[NUM];
public Checkers2() {
super("Checkers");
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JPanel gridPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(ROWS, COLS, 1, 1));
gridPanel.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
gridPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLACK));
for (int i = 0; i < myPanels.length; i++) {
MyPanel2 myPanel = new MyPanel2(this);
gridPanel.add(myPanel);
myPanels[i] = myPanel;
}
JButton resetButton = new JButton("Reset");
resetButton.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_R);
resetButton.addActionListener(evt -> {
for (MyPanel2 myPanel2 : myPanels) {
myPanel2.reset();
}
});
JButton exitButton = new JButton("Exit");
exitButton.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_X);
exitButton.addActionListener(evt -> System.exit(0));
JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
buttonPanel.add(resetButton);
add(gridPanel);
add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
pack();
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
}
public boolean isPanelDisabled() {
int count = 0;
for (MyPanel2 panel2 : myPanels) {
if (panel2.isSelected()) {
count++;
}
}
return count >= MAX_COUNT;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> {
new Checkers2().setVisible(true);
});
}
}
class MyPanel2 extends JPanel {
private static final int PREF_W = 200;
private static final int PREF_H = PREF_W;
private static final int GR = 240;
public static final Color BASE_COLOR = new Color(GR, GR, GR);
public static final Color DISABLED_COLOR = Color.CYAN;
public static final Color SELECTED_COLOR = Color.BLACK;
private Checkers2 checkers;
private boolean selected = false;
public MyPanel2(Checkers2 checkers) {
setBackground(BASE_COLOR);
this.checkers = checkers;
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(PREF_W, PREF_H));
addMouseListener(new MyMouse());
}
public void setSelected(boolean selected) {
this.selected = selected;
}
public boolean isSelected() {
return selected;
}
public void reset() {
setBackground(BASE_COLOR);
setSelected(false);
}
private class MyMouse extends MouseAdapter {
#Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
if (selected) {
return;
}
if (checkers.isPanelDisabled()) {
setBackground(DISABLED_COLOR);
} else {
setBackground(SELECTED_COLOR);
setSelected(true);
}
}
}
}
Another Option is to take all the logic out of MyPanel and put it into the main program, something like:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
#SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class Checkers3 extends JPanel {
private static final int MAX_COUNT = 7;
private final int ROWS = 2;

}

}

if (myPanel.isSelected()) {
return; // it's already selected
} else if (isPanelDisabled()) {
myPanel.setSelected(false);
} else {
myPanel.setSelected(true);
}
}
}
private static void createAndShowGui() {
Checkers3 mainPanel = new Checkers3();
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Checkers");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.getContentPane().add(mainPanel);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> createAndShowGui());
}
}
#SuppressWarnings("serial")
class MyPanel3 extends JPanel {
private static final int PREF_W = 200;
private static final int PREF_H = PREF_W;
private static final int GR = 240;
public static final Color BASE_COLOR = new Color(GR, GR, GR);
public static final Color DISABLED_COLOR = Color.CYAN;
public static final Color SELECTED_COLOR = Color.BLACK;
private boolean selected = false;
public MyPanel3() {
setBackground(BASE_COLOR);
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(PREF_W, PREF_H));
}
public void setSelected(boolean selected) {
this.selected = selected;
Color background = selected ? SELECTED_COLOR : DISABLED_COLOR;
setBackground(background);
}
public boolean isSelected() {
return selected;
}
public void reset() {
setSelected(false);
setBackground(BASE_COLOR);
}
}
But the BEST option is to put all logic within a separate model class (or classes) and make the GUI's as dumb as possible.

Closeable JTabbedPane - alignment of the close button

I have implemented my own closeable JTabbedPane (essentially following advice from here - by extending JTabbedPane and overriding some methods and calling setTabComponentAt(...)). It works perfectly except one thing - when there are too many tabs to fit on one row (when there are 2 or more rows of tabs), the cross button/icon is not aligned to the right of the tab but it remains next to the tab title, which looks ugly. I've tried the demo from Java tutorials and it suffers from the same problem.
What I want is that the cross button/icon is always aligned to the very right, but the text is always aligned to the center. Can this be achieved by some layouting tricks? Note: I do not want to implement a custom TabbedPaneUI as this leads to other problems.
UPDATE I'm forced to use Java 6
The complete code is below, just run it and add 5 or more tabs.

I'm using this one: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/examples/components/TabComponentsDemoProject/src/components/ButtonTabComponent.java
The close button is painted by this itself so if can be placed anywhere.

JComboBox ActionEvent performs with multiple comboboxes?

I am performing actions for 2 combo boxes which involves in changing the background color of JLabel. Here is my code,
public class JavaApplication8 {
private JFrame mainFrame;
private JLabel signal1;
private JLabel signal2;
private JPanel s1Panel;
private JPanel s2Panel;
public JavaApplication8()
{
try {
prepareGUI();
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(JavaApplication8.class.getName())
.log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws
ClassNotFoundException
{
JavaApplication8 swingControl = new JavaApplication8();
swingControl.showCombobox1();
}
public void prepareGUI() throws ClassNotFoundException
{
mainFrame = new JFrame("Signal");
mainFrame.setSize(300,200);
mainFrame.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 0));
mainFrame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent windowEvent){
System.exit(0);
}
});
signal1 = new JLabel("Signal 1",JLabel.LEFT);
signal1.setSize(100,100);
signal1.setOpaque(true);
signal2 = new JLabel("Signal 2",JLabel.LEFT);
signal2.setSize(100,100);
signal2.setOpaque(true);
final DefaultComboBoxModel light = new DefaultComboBoxModel();
light.addElement("Red");
light.addElement("Green");
final JComboBox s1Combo = new JComboBox(light);
s1Combo.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
{
if(s1Combo.getSelectedIndex() == 0)
{
signal1.setBackground(Color.RED);
}
else
{
signal1.setBackground(Color.GREEN);
}
}
});
final JComboBox s2Combo1 = new JComboBox(light);
s2Combo1.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
{
if(s2Combo1.getSelectedIndex() == 0)
{
signal2.setBackground(Color.RED);
}
else
{
signal2.setBackground(Color.GREEN);
}
}
});
s1Panel = new JPanel();
s1Panel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
JScrollPane ListScrollPane = new JScrollPane(s1Combo);
s1Panel.add(signal1);
s1Panel.add(ListScrollPane);
s2Panel = new JPanel();
s2Panel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
JScrollPane List1ScrollPane = new JScrollPane(s2Combo1);
s2Panel.add(signal2);
s2Panel.add(List1ScrollPane);
mainFrame.add(s1Panel);
mainFrame.add(s2Panel);
String[] columnNames = {"Signal 1","Signal 2"};
Object[][] data = {{"1","1"}};
final JTable table = new JTable(data,columnNames);
JScrollPane tablepane = new JScrollPane(table);
table.setFillsViewportHeight(true);
mainFrame.add(tablepane);
mainFrame.setVisible(true);
}
}
When Executed, If I change the item from combo box 1, the 2nd combo box also performs the change. Where did I go wrong?

Yours is a simple solution: don't have the JComboBoxes share the same model. If they share the same model, then changes to the selected item of one JComboBox causes a change in the shared model which changes the view of both JComboBoxes.
I wold use a method to create your combo-jlabel duo so as not to duplicate code. For instance:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javax.swing.*;
public class App8 extends JPanel {
private static final int COMBO_COUNT = 2;
private static final String SIGNAL = "Signal";
private List<JComboBox<ComboColor>> comboList = new ArrayList<>();
public App8() {
setLayout(new GridLayout(0, 1));
for (int i = 0; i < COMBO_COUNT; i++) {
DefaultComboBoxModel<ComboColor> cModel = new DefaultComboBoxModel<>(ComboColor.values());
JComboBox<ComboColor> combo = new JComboBox<>(cModel);
add(createComboLabelPanel((i + 1), combo));
comboList.add(combo);
}
}
private JPanel createComboLabelPanel(int index, final JComboBox<ComboColor> combo) {
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
final JLabel label = new JLabel(SIGNAL + " " + index);
label.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
label.setOpaque(true);
combo.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
ComboColor cColor = (ComboColor) combo.getSelectedItem();
label.setBackground(cColor.getColor());
}
});
panel.add(label);
panel.add(combo);
return panel;
}
private static void createAndShowGui() {
App8 mainPanel = new App8();
JFrame frame = new JFrame("App8");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.getContentPane().add(mainPanel);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
createAndShowGui();
}
});
}
}
enum ComboColor {
RED("Red", Color.RED),
GREEN("Green", Color.GREEN);
private String text;
private Color color;
public String getText() {
return text;
}
public Color getColor() {
return color;
}
private ComboColor(String text, Color color) {
this.text = text;
this.color = color;
}
#Override

how to add full image in JDialog this dialog is created by JOptionPane

my question is i want to add full background image if JDialog, this JDialog is created by JOptionPane. This image does not cover full Dialog.
If you have any solution please let me know.
public class BrowseFilePath {
public static final String DIALOG_NAME = "what-dialog";
public static final String PANE_NAME = "what-pane";

/*public static void main(String [] arg){

public static void showFileDialog() {
JOptionPane.setDefaultLocale(null);
JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane(createRegInputComponent());
pane.setName(PANE_NAME);
loginRegister = pane.createDialog("ShareBLU");
/* try {
loginRegister.setContentPane(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(ImageIO.read(AlertWindow.getBgImgFilePath()))));

Don't use JOptionPane but use a full-blown JDialog. Set the content pane to a JComponent that overrides paintComponent() and returns an appropriate getPreferredSize().
Example code below:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Frame;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JDialog;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class TestBackgroundImage {
private static final String BACKHGROUND_IMAGE_URL = "http://cache2.allpostersimages.com/p/LRG/27/2740/AEPND00Z/affiches/blue-fiber-optic-wires-against-black-background.jpg";
protected void initUI() throws MalformedURLException {
JDialog dialog = new JDialog((Frame) null, TestBackgroundImage.class.getSimpleName());
dialog.setModal(true);
dialog.setDefaultCloseOperation(JDialog.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
final ImageIcon backgroundImage = new ImageIcon(new URL(BACKHGROUND_IMAGE_URL));
JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout()) {
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
g.drawImage(backgroundImage.getImage(), 0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight(), this);
}
#Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
Dimension size = super.getPreferredSize();
size.width = Math.max(backgroundImage.getIconWidth(), size.width);
size.height = Math.max(backgroundImage.getIconHeight(), size.height);
return size;
}
};
mainPanel.add(new JButton("A button"), BorderLayout.WEST);
dialog.add(mainPanel);
dialog.setSize(400, 300);
dialog.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
new TestBackgroundImage().initUI();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
}
Don't forget to provide an appropriate parent Frame
