Does anyone have any ideas on how I can search a text file and list the results in a JComponent, like a JPanel.
I've been trying to make this work out for two days now, but no success will really appreciate a reply. Thanks a lot in advance.
I've been trying to write a class that handles search queries to a text file. My main goal is to get the lines in a text file that contain the search keywords entered in a JTextField and print them out in an appropriate JComponent(something like a JTextField, JTextPane, whichever best applicable).
I'd like the search results to show in columns like how google search results get displayed, so that each line from the text file gets printed in its own line. I've been told that it's best to use an ArrayList. I really don't know how to do this. I've picked up ideas from all over and this is what I have so far:
Much appreciation in advance. I am very new to Java. I've been at it the whole day trying to get this right and have not gone any far. Am willing to try anything offered, even a new approach.
// The class that handles the search query
// Notice that I've commented out some parts that show errors
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import javax.swing.JTextPane;
public class Search {
public static String path;
public static String qri;
public Search(String dTestFileDAT, String qry) {
path = dTestFileDAT;
qri = qry;
}
public static JTextPane resultJTextPane;
public static List<String> linesToPresent = new ArrayList<String>();
public static List<String> searchFile(String path, String match){
File f = new File(path);
FileReader fr;
try {
fr = new FileReader(f);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
String line;
do{
line = br.readLine();
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(match);
Matcher m = p.matcher(line);
if(m.find())
linesToPresent.add(line);
} while(line != null);
br.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
// resultJTextPane = new JTextPane();
// resultJTextPane = (JTextPane) Home.BulletinsJPanel.add(linesToPresent);
return linesToPresent;
}
}
// This handles the click event to take the query. Notice that I've commented out some parts that show errors
private void mouseClickedSearch(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
Search fs = new Search("/D:/TestFile.dat/", "Text to search for");
// searchResultsJPanel.add(Search.searchFile("/D:/TestFile.dat/", "COLE"));
// searchResultsJTextField.add(fs);
}
There are a number of possible solutions, this is just a simple one (no seriously, it is ;))
Basically, this just uses a JList to store all the matches of the search text from the search file.
This is a case sensitive search, so beware

You could also take another tact and simply highlight the matches...
This uses a slightly different approach as this is interactive. Basically you simply type, wait a 1/4 second and it will start searching...

My problem is when I run it, this is what happens:
So, the buttons and/or test are not centered. I don't understand why.
My problem is, the buttons should be about where the red line on the image is, but no matter what I do, I can't get it to work.
I tried centering it with SwingConstants.CENTER, but that diden't work, so I also tried Component.CENTER_ALIGNMENT, but that did the exact same thing. I found that doing multiple different things like changing the code to
jb1.setAlignmentX(Component.CENTER_ALIGNMENT);
jb2.setAlignmentX(SwingConstants.CENTER);
jb3.setAlignmentX(SwingConstants.CENTER);
makes it like this:
so basically it makes it so the 2 that are different from the one I changed are correctly centered, but the one I changed it not. All the images and stuff are probably unnecessary, but I hope I got across what I need help with! thanks =)
You can use BoxLayout to do that, take a look at the following code:
import javax.swing.Box;
import javax.swing.BoxLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class Main
{
public static void main(final String[] args)
{
final JLabel label = new JLabel("GAME NAME HERE");
final JButton button1 = new JButton("Button 1");
final JButton button2 = new JButton("Button 2");
final JButton button3 = new JButton("Button 3");
final JPanel centerPanel = createCenterVerticalPanel(5, label, button1, button2, button3);
final JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.add(centerPanel);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.pack();
}
private static JPanel createCenterVerticalPanel(final int spaceBetweenComponents, final JComponent... components)
{
final JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
Arrays.stream(components).forEach(component -> {
component.setAlignmentX(JPanel.CENTER_ALIGNMENT);
panel.add(component);
panel.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(0, spaceBetweenComponents)));
});
return panel;
}
}
If you also want to center a panel vertically in a frame, just use frame.setLayout(new GridBagLayout()). Cheers!
I am trying to develop a voting GUI and I have a main class and a ballot class. The Ballot class extends JPanel and creates buttons inside the class.

JFrame uses a BorderLayout, you are adding both the castVotePanel and all the Ballot panels to the same position on the frame (CENTER). You might want to consider using a different layout manager

JFrame uses BorderLayout by default and your all panels are on center of border that is why its not showing up
Use different positions or different layouts

This code enables an employee to log in to the coffee shop system. I admit I have a lot of unneeded code. My problem is that when I run the program just the image is displayed above and no JButtons, JLabels or JTextFields.
Thanks in advance.

Seems to me like you have a class login (which is a JFrame, but never used as one). This login class creates a new generic "Welcome" JFrame with the ImagePanel in it. The ImagePanel calls GUI.createGUI() (which creates another JFrame, but doesn't show it) and then does absolutely nothing with it, thus it is immediately lost.
There are way to many JFrames in your code. One should be enough, perhaps two. But you got three: login, gui, and a simple new JFrame().
i need to erase data in jlabel via jtextfield whenever i pressed backspace or delete from current position.I figure out how to add data in jlable(numeric data) but don't know how to erase it or edit it.
//this is my code
String str = "";
private void jTextField1KeyPressed (java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
char ch=evt.getKeyChar();
if(Character.isDigit(ch)
str += ch;
jLabel2.setText(str);
}
}
Use a DocumentListener instead of a KeyListener, it will be able to detect when the user pastes text into the field and/or is changed programmatically
When the Document is updated, get the text from the field and set the labels text. There is little benefit in trying to update another String when the information is already available in the field/Document. If you "really" have to, use a StringBuilder instead, it's more efficient and is mutable

This is what I have done in android ,Here I am having 3 spinners and selecting
2 separate spinner items and those items must be dynamically displaying in
3rd spinner. and I am trying to do in java swings net beans but I am not
getting, how to make please help me.
Here in java swings I am using combo boxes instead of spinner.
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> p, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
switch (p.getId()) {
case R.id.spinnerPetition:
i = spinPetition.getSelectedItem().toString();
spinnerArray1[0] = i;
Log.d("R", "" + Arrays.toString(spinnerArray1));
bind();
break;
case R.id.spinnerRespondent:
j = spinRespondent.getSelectedItem().toString();
spinnerArray1[1] = j;
Log.d("R", "" + Arrays.toString(spinnerArray1));
bind();
break;
default:
break;
}
private void bind() {
ArrayAdapter spinnerArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, spinnerArray1);
spinAppearingFor.setAdapter(spinnerArrayAdapter);
}
Basically, if the third field will never affect the first two, then it's probably easier to use a JTextField, otherwise you will need to build a ComboBox which is the conternation of the first two, so that it contains EVERY possible combination...
