I've made my own SwingWorker example to get familiar with how it works.
What I'm wanting to do is the following:
When the button is clicked I want a progress bar appear until the task is done I want to simply remove the progress bar and add a string to the dialog.
When the button is clicked, the progress bar comes up but never goes away. (never removes the progress bar after 10 seconds and never places the label up)
Here is an SSCCE:
package swingtesting;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JDialog;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JProgressBar;
import javax.swing.SwingWorker;
public class SwingTesting {
/**
* Creates a frame that will hold a simple button to make use of SwingWorker
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JButton button = new JButton();
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
new GuiWorker().execute();
}
});
button.setText("Test Me");
frame.getContentPane().add(button);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
class GuiWorker extends SwingWorker<Integer, Integer> {
/*
* This should just create a frame that will hold a progress bar until the
* work is done. Once done, it should remove the progress bar from the dialog
* and add a label saying the task complete.
*/
private JFrame frame = new JFrame();
private JDialog dialog = new JDialog(frame, "Swingworker test", true);
private JProgressBar progressBar = new JProgressBar();
public GuiWorker() {
progressBar.setString("Waiting on time");
progressBar.setStringPainted(true);
progressBar.setIndeterminate(true);
dialog.getContentPane().add(progressBar);
dialog.pack();
dialog.setVisible(true);
}
#Override
protected Integer doInBackground() throws Exception {
Thread.sleep(10000);
return 0;
}
#Override
protected void done() {
JLabel label = new JLabel("Task Complete");
dialog.getContentPane().remove(progressBar);
dialog.getContentPane().add(label);
}
}
Here an updated version of your code which works
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JDialog;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;

public class SwingTesting {
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater( new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JButton button = new JButton();
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
new GuiWorker().execute();
}
});
button.setText("Test Me");
frame.getContentPane().add(button);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
} );
}
}
class GuiWorker extends SwingWorker<Integer, Integer> {
/*
* This should just create a frame that will hold a progress bar until the
* work is done. Once done, it should remove the progress bar from the dialog
* and add a label saying the task complete.
*/
private JFrame frame = new JFrame();
private JDialog dialog = new JDialog(frame, "Swingworker test", true);
private JProgressBar progressBar = new JProgressBar();
public GuiWorker() {
progressBar.setString("Waiting on time");
progressBar.setStringPainted(true);
progressBar.setIndeterminate(true);
dialog.getContentPane().add(progressBar);
dialog.pack();
dialog.setModal( false );
dialog.setVisible(true);
}
#Override
protected Integer doInBackground() throws Exception {
System.out.println( "GuiWorker.doInBackground" );
Thread.sleep(1000);
return 0;
}
#Override
protected void done() {
System.out.println("done");
JLabel label = new JLabel("Task Complete");
dialog.getContentPane().remove(progressBar);
dialog.getContentPane().add(label);
dialog.getContentPane().validate();
}
}
Key point is that setting a model dialog visible blocks until the dialog is disposed. So making it non-modal fixed it + the validate call on the content pane when you switch components. I also adjusted your main method to run on the EDT, and added some System.out calls. If you remove the setModal( false ) call you will see those statements are not printed until you close the dialog
There's no need to make the dialog non-modal. Simply display the dialog after starting the SwingWorker. This can be done either from the calling class, the one executing the SwingWorker, by first calling execute, and then showing the dialog, or it can be done from the SwingWorker, but if from the latter, you'll have to make your own pseudo-execute method that calls super's execute, and then shows the dialog. Note that you can't override execute() itself since it's final.

unfortunately I can't handle the change of txt when the button is clicked, I try to write a txt and overtime that I click the button, this txt value should change and allotting seems right, the only problem is that the printed number is not obvious and it seems some part of previous txt remains with it.

Avoid using null layouts, pixel perfect layouts are an illusion within modern ui design. There are too many factors which affect the individual size of components, none of which you can control. Swing was designed to work with layout managers at the core, discarding these will lead to no end of issues and problems that you will spend more and more time trying to rectify.
Layout managers are fundamental to the Swing API, you should make the time to learn how to use them, they will solve more problems than you think they create.
See Laying Out Components Within a Container for more details.
You're creating multiple instances of JTextArea and adding to the frame, but you're not removing any, you're running into a potential z-ordering problem at best and a major resource management issue at worst.
Instead, simply create a single instance of JTextArea, add it to the frame (just like you did your button) and simply update it when the Action is triggered, for example...

In my project code, we are using custom dialogs. I am facing some weird issues with them.
I have a child dialogue and a parent dialogue.
Ideally a child dialogue goes to invisible state when we invoke parent.setVisible(false).
But I am seeing some strange behaviour.
When I make parent.setVisible(false) then still my child dialog remains visible but when I try to get child.isVisible() : it gives me false.
Also when I try to invoke child.setVisible(false), again it has no effect in visiblity of parent dialog .
NOTE: I cannot show any code sample due to too much complexity, lenght and other external API issues. Also I tried replicating this using external programs but it works as expected and no issues seen.
I just want to know does anybody knows any scenario in which a child dialog control get loosen up when we make parent.setVisible(false)?
I just want to know does anybody knows any scenario in which a child
dialog control get loosen up when we make parent.setVisible(false)?
for parent is called setVisible(false) too,
be sure that you to reuse reduced number of childs, to set DefaultCloseOparation to HIDE or DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE (by defasult the last container turn off light, but hasn't effect if is there modality between containers)

I am trying to display transparent JFrame when "submit" button is clicked which displays panel with a JLabel...
I have tried using setOpacity(0.55f), but it throws exception.. what am i doing wrong?
Unfortunately I think there's no way to keep the system window decoration, you will probably have to go with the default one. Since I'm not 100% sure if you want to toggle the opacity of the whole frame or just the frame's background, I've included both functions in my example. (mKorbels answer help you more if you don't want to have a decoration)

after looking for an answer for 3 hours, I am just about to give up on this idea:
I am making an application that displays the followers of a Twitch streamer.
A couple of features i am trying to add:
the display frame is a separate window from the controls frame.
I am trying to use (JFrame as display window) (JDialog as controls frame)
And furthermore: Settings is in another JDialog (this one has Modal(true))
Settings needs to be able to send the JFrame information such as: "username" and "text color"
And the settings JDialog will only pop up from clicking "settings" on the controls JDialog.
It will setVisible(false) when you click "save settings" or the X.
On the controls JDialog (b_console) needs to receive error messages and info like that.
And on the same JDialog, "filler" needs to receive follower count and things like that.
Here follows my code involving the transfers listed above:

I tried to fix your program, but I wasn't too sure about its flow. So I created another simple one. What I did was pass the labels from the main frame to the dialogs' constructors. In the dialog, I took those labels and changed them with text entered in their text fields. If you hit enter after writing text from the dialog, you'll see the text in the frame change
public class JavaFollowerNotifier1 extends JFrame{
private JLabel controlDialogLabel = new JLabel(" ");
private JLabel settingDialogLabel = new JLabel(" ");
private ControlDialog control;

Typically when I build GUI's which use modal dialogs to gather user input, I build my own class, which extends the JDialog or in some cases a JFrame. In that class I expose a getter method for an object which I usually call DialgResult. This object acts as the Model for the input I gather from the user. In the class that has the button, or whatever control which triggers asking the user for the information, I create it, show it as a modal dialog, then when it is closed, I retrieve the object using that same getter.
This is a very primitive example:

In my application I have a JTable where I mapped a Key event. The source:
getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0), "selectNextColumnCell");
getActionMap().put("selectNextColumnCell", new AbstractAction() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
//DO SOMETHING
}
});
}
But this action is only called when I press the enter key and don't release it. But I need call this action every time when the user type the enter key.
please see my syntax for put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER....
