Using a single JTextArea with multiple UndoManagers - java

I have a JTextArea and a JComboBox to allow me to cycle through various open files - the contents of the JTextArea change as I select a different file. I am trying to maintain a different Undo buffer per file and have defined a separate UndoManager per file.
I have created a simpler SSCCE to demonstrate my problem using two buffers, which I call "One" and "Two" - with a simple button to switch between them. Once an UndoableEdit happens, it checks the active buffer and performs an addEdit() on the respective UndoManager. When the "Undo" button is pressed, then it checks canUndo() and performs an undo() on the respective UndoManager. I have a flag called ignoreEdit, which is used when switching between buffers to ignore those edits from being recorded.
If I never switch between the buffers, then I don't have a problem, Undo works as expected. It is only when I switch between the buffers and appear to "break" the Document, does it fail. The following steps can be used to recreate the problem:
In buffer "One", type:
THIS
IS ONE
EXAMPLE
Switch to buffer "Two", type:
THIS
IS ANOTHER
EXAMPLE
Switch to buffer "One" and press the "Undo" button multiple times. After a few Undo operations, the buffer looks like this (with no way for the cursor to select the first two lines). However, the contents of textArea.getText() are correct as per the System.out.println() - so, it looks like a rendering issue?
THIS
THISIS ONE
This can't be the first time that someone has tried to implement independent Undo buffers per file? I am obviously doing something wrong with the Document model and inherently breaking it, but I looking for some advice on how best to fix this?
The code for the SSCCE is included below:

Previously I had attempted to create a new instance of the Document class (each referencing the same Undo listener) and was going to use JTextArea.setDocument() instead of JTextArea.setText(). However, Document is an interface and can't be instantiated, but after reading the reference that mKorbel posted, I tried this using the PlainDocument class instead, which worked.
I have decided to maintain a HashMap<String, Document> to contain my Document classes and switch between them. When I switch the Document, I don't see the Undo/Redo issue - I suppose as I am no longer breaking the Document.
Updated SSCCE below which now uses JTextArea.setDocument() instead of JTextArea.setText(). This also has the advantage of not requiring the ignoreEdit boolean as setDocument() doesn't trigger an UndoableEditEvent, whereas setText() does. Each Document then references the local classes UndoableEditListener.

This is not an answer per se, but a demonstration of a different way of approaching the same problem.
What this does is wraps the UndoableEditListener in a self managed proxy, which has it's own UndoManager and Document.

Drag two images and drop them in two different JButtons in the same JFrame

I have a code in which I must drag two images from my desktop and drop it on a frame in two draggable buttons. The buttons have already been made on the frame. But while dragging the images, they can only be dragged to one button. The images don't get dragged to the other one. I have made a DragListener class where the dragging methods prevail and the main class DragInitialListener where I have passed objects of class DragButton so that two draggable buttons are created. I have tried everything I could think of, made two DragListener classes, passed the methods differently but the image could only be dragged in one button. I want both the buttons to be able to hold images. Please help me with it. Here's the code that I have made so far:
//This is the main class

DragListener d;
DragButton db = new DragButton();
db.setSize(170,140);
d= new DragListener(db);
DropTarget drop = new DropTarget(this,d);
this.getContentPane().add(db);
}
public void Droptargets()
{
DragListener dd;
DragButton db1 = new DragButton();
db1.setSize(170,140);
dd= new DragListener(db1);

Start simple, get one button to work, if you can get one to work, you can get 100 to work
This is a very simple example, which makes use of the transfer API, because you really only care about dropping and not dragging

break;
}
}
return canImport;
}

So, by doing nothing more then changing the layout and replicating the button using
public TestPane() {
setLayout(new GridLayout(5, 5));
for (int index = 0; index < 5 * 5; index++) {
JButton btn = new JButton("Drop here");
btn.setVerticalTextPosition(JButton.BOTTOM);
btn.setHorizontalTextPosition(JButton.CENTER);
btn.setTransferHandler(new ImageTransferHandler());
add(btn);
}
}
I was able to achieve...
Updated...
So apparently I might have misunderstood the question, not the first time. From what's been explained to me, you might want to drag multiple images and have them applied to the buttons. Surprising, the process doesn't change that much.
In this example, I've applied the TransferHandler to the JPanel instead of the button and supplied it the buttons I want updated. You could easily update this to have a variable number of buttons, but I've started with two.

Now, there are rules you will need to define yourself, for example, what happens when the user only drags a single image? Do you apply it to the first button (as I have) every time, or do you try and find the button without an image and update it? What happens if all the buttons have images? Where does it go then?
Do you reject drags with more than 2 images?

Need assistance java Thread slot machine

I need to make a slot machine that implements thread in java and jframe
this is what iv'e done so far kindly tell me what i need to do in order make the images change per .5 seconds when i press the the play and stop when i press stop. If all the three images are the same it'll say you won. This is what iv'e got so far how will i change this numbers or text to images in jlabel.

Here is one way to put a picture on a JLabel and change it when you click a button. (I am using window builder for eclipse, so it may look a little odd.) It is not recommended you use absolute paths because when you move your project or the file, it breaks (I did this just for proof of concept).

java drop and drag label to join correct image

this code is only allowing me to reject a string the second time to try to drop in a textArea where there is all ready a string.
public GridLayoutTest() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("GridLayout test");
connection = getConnection();
try {
statement = (PreparedStatement) connection
result = statement.executeQuery();
while (result.next()) {
byte[] image = null;
image = result.getBytes("image");
JPanel cellPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
cellPanel.add(cellLabel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
cellPanel.add(droplabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
gridPanel.add(cellPanel);
}
}
catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();}
}
So, two things, first...
public void DropTargetTextArea(String string1, String string2) {
Isn't a constructor, it's a method, note the void. This means that it is never getting called. It's also the reason why DropTargetTextArea textArea = new DropTargetTextArea(); works, when you think it shouldn't.
Second, you're not maintaining a reference to the values you pass in to the (want to be) constructor, so you have no means to references them later...
You could try using something like...
private String[] values;
public DropTargetTextArea(String string1, String string2) {
values = new String[]{string1, string2};
DropTarget dropTarget = new DropTarget(this, DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY_OR_MOVE, this, true);
}
And then use something like...
if (values[0].equals(dragContents) || values[1].equals(dragContents)) {
In the drop method.
In your dragEnter, dragOver and dropActionChanged methods you have the oppurtunity to accept or reject the drag action using something like dtde.acceptDrag(DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY_OR_MOVE); or dtde.rejectDrag();

How to open a new window or switch using a button?

I'm trying to figure out this for ages, starting to wonder if it is possible!
I have a starting window for my app - I need it so that when I click on a button I have created, the window either closes and opens a new window or the window resizes and leaves just the canvas (ready to put new widgets, sprites etc... ).
I know I need a handler event for this but I just can't get the code to work.
Im not quite sure whats your question but i coded a example with a JFrame and 3 Buttons.
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class OpenWindowAndResizeWindow
{
private JFrame frame;
private JButton btnOpenNewWindow;
private JButton btnResizeWindow;
private JButton btnRemoveAllButtons;
/**
* Launch the application.
*/
public static void main(String[] args)
{
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
try
{
OpenWindowAndResizeWindow window = new OpenWindowAndResizeWindow();
window.frame.setVisible(true);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**
* Create the application.
*/
public OpenWindowAndResizeWindow()
{
initialize();
}
/**
* Initialize the contents of the frame.
*/
private void initialize()
{
frame = new JFrame();
frame.setBounds(100, 100, 300, 300);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.getContentPane().add(getBtnOpenNewWindow(), BorderLayout.NORTH);
frame.getContentPane().add(getBtnResizeWindow(), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
frame.getContentPane().add(getBtnRemoveAllButtons(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
private void openNewWindow()
{
OpenWindowAndResizeWindow newWindow = new OpenWindowAndResizeWindow();
frame.dispose();
}
private void removeButtons()
{
getBtnOpenNewWindow().setVisible(false);
getBtnRemoveAllButtons().setVisible(false);
getBtnResizeWindow().setVisible(false);
}
private void resizeWindow()
{
Rectangle rectangle = frame.getBounds();
rectangle.width = (int)rectangle.getWidth() + 100;
rectangle.height = (int)rectangle.getHeight() + 100;
frame.setBounds(rectangle);
}
private JButton getBtnOpenNewWindow() {
if (btnOpenNewWindow == null) {
btnOpenNewWindow = new JButton("Open new Window");
btnOpenNewWindow.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
openNewWindow();
}
});
}
return btnOpenNewWindow;
}
private JButton getBtnResizeWindow() {
if (btnResizeWindow == null) {
btnResizeWindow = new JButton("Resize Window");
btnResizeWindow.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
resizeWindow();
}
});
}
return btnResizeWindow;
}
private JButton getBtnRemoveAllButtons() {
if (btnRemoveAllButtons == null) {
btnRemoveAllButtons = new JButton("Remove All Buttons");
btnRemoveAllButtons.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
removeButtons();
}
});
}
return btnRemoveAllButtons;
}
}
This code is ready to compile with javac or just paste it in your IDE.
Maybe this helps a bit. The Java SE API Documentation is useful too.

How to update the JTextField when the variable value is changed?

I have two Java(.java) files. One has a JButton and JTextField and the other has a Thread. In first Java file, I have added an ActionListener to the JButton so that, when the button is pressed, a thread (object for 2nd .java file in created and thread is initiated) runs which modifies an integer variable continuously. How to display the value of that integer variable (of 2nd .java file) in the JTextField (of 1st .java file) ?
Detection.java
package sample;
public class Detection implements Runnable
{
public String viewers;
public int count;
public void run()
{
try
{
while (true)
{
// i have written code for displaying video.
// and it say how many no. of people in the video
// the no of people is stored in a variable "count"
viewers=""+count; //storing count as string so as to display in the JTextField
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Exception: "+e);
}
}
}
UsrInterfac.java
//build using WindowBuilder eclipse juno
package sample;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
public class UsrInterfac
{
private JFrame frame;
private JTextField textField;
Detection dd = new Detection();
Thread th = new Thread(dd);
/**
* Launch the application.
*/
public static void main(String[] args)
{
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
try
{
UsrInterfac window = new UsrInterfac();
window.frame.setVisible(true);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**
* Create the application.
*/
public UsrInterfac()
{
initialize();
}
/**
* Initialize the contents of the frame.
*/
private void initialize()
{
frame = new JFrame();
frame.setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
JButton btnStartThread = new JButton("Start Thread");
btnStartThread.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0)
{
th.start();
}
});
btnStartThread.setBounds(59, 133, 117, 23);
frame.getContentPane().add(btnStartThread);
textField = new JTextField();
textField.setBounds(270, 134, 104, 20);
frame.getContentPane().add(textField);
textField.setColumns(10);
}
}
Starting from the basics, while using Swing, it is always best to use LayoutManagers, which can make your work much more easier, in comparison to using Absolute Positioning.
Whenever one needs to change something in the View from some another thread, it is always advisable to do that using EventQueue.invokeLater(...)/EventQueue.invokeAndWait(...).
This small sample program, might be able to help you get an idea, how to accomplish what you so desire :-)
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ThreadCounter
{
private CustomThread cThread;
private JTextField tField;
private JButton button;
private int counter;
public ThreadCounter()
{
counter = 0;
}
private void displayGUI()
{
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Thread Counter Example");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
tField = new JTextField(10);
tField.setText("0");
button = new JButton("Start");
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
{
if (counter == 0)
{
cThread = new CustomThread(tField);
cThread.setFlagValue(true);
cThread.start();
counter = 1;
button.setText("Stop");
}
else
{
try
{
cThread.setFlagValue(false);
cThread.join();
}
catch(InterruptedException ie)

button.setText("Start");
}
}
});

contentPane.add(button);

}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
new ThreadCounter().displayGUI();
}
});
}
}
class CustomThread extends Thread
{
private int changingVariable;
private JTextField tField;
private boolean flag = true;
public CustomThread(JTextField tf)
{
changingVariable = 0;
tField = tf;
}
public void setFlagValue(boolean flag)
{
this.flag = flag;
}
#Override
public void run()
{
while (flag)
{
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
tField.setText(
Integer.toString(
++changingVariable));
}
});
try
{
Thread.sleep(1000);
}
catch(InterruptedException ie)
{
ie.printStackTrace();
}
}
System.out.println("I am OUT of WHILE");
}
}
Ideally you should post your code. Anyway, when you are calling the thread code, either pass the instance of the first class (object) or an instance of JTextField, so that the thread can set the new value in the text field.
