Update JLabel every X seconds from ArrayList<List> - Java - java

I have a simple Java program that reads in a text file, splits it by " " (spaces), displays the first word, waits 2 seconds, displays the next... etc... I would like to do this in Spring or some other GUI.
Any suggestions on how I can easily update the words with spring? Iterate through my list and somehow use setText();
I am not having any luck. I am using this method to print my words out in the consol and added the JFrame to it... Works great in the consol, but puts out endless jframe. I found most of it online.
private void printWords() {
for (int i = 0; i < words.size(); i++) {
//How many words?
//System.out.print(words.size());
//print each word on a new line...
Word w = words.get(i);
System.out.println(w.name);
//pause between each word.
try{
Thread.sleep(500);
}
catch(InterruptedException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Run Text File");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JLabel textLabel = new JLabel(w.name,SwingConstants.CENTER);
textLabel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 100));
frame.getContentPane().add(textLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
//Display the window. frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
I have a window that get's created with JFrame and JLable, however, I would like to have the static text be dynamic instead of loading a new spring window. I would like it to flash a word, disappear, flash a word disappear.
Any suggestions on how to update the JLabel? Something with repaint()? I am drawing a blank.
Thanks!
UPDATE:
With the help from the kind folks below, I have gotten it to print correctly to the console. Here is my Print Method:
private void printWords() {
final Timer timer = new Timer(500, null);
ActionListener listener = new ActionListener() {
private Iterator<Word> w = words.iterator();
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (w.hasNext()) {
_textField.setText(w.next().getName());
//Prints to Console just Fine...
//System.out.println(w.next().getName());
}
else {
timer.stop();
}
}
};
timer.addActionListener(listener);
timer.start();
}
However, it isn't updating the lable? My contructor looks like:
public TimeThis() {
_textField = new JTextField(5);
_textField.setEditable(false);
_textField.setFont(new Font("sansserif", Font.PLAIN, 30));
JPanel content = new JPanel();
content.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
content.add(_textField);
this.setContentPane(content);
this.setTitle("Swing Timer");
this.pack();
this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
this.setResizable(false);
//_textField.setText("loading...");
}
Getting there... I'll post the fix once I, or whomever assists me, get's it working. Thanks again!

First, build and display your GUI. Once the GUI is displayed, use a javax.swing.Timer to update the GUI every 500 millis:
final Timer timer = new Timer(500, null);
ActionListener listener = new ActionListsner() {
private Iterator<Word> it = words.iterator();
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (it.hasNext()) {
label.setText(it.next().getName());
}
else {
timer.stop();
}
}
};
timer.addActionListener(listener);
timer.start();

Never use Thread.sleep(int) inside Swing Code, because it blocks the EDT; more here,
The result of using Thread.sleep(int) is this:
When Thread.sleep(int) ends

I got it working with this code... Hope it can help someone else expand on their Java knowledge. Also, if anyone has any recommendations on cleaning this up. Please do so!

You're on the right track, but you're creating the frame's inside the loop, not outside. Here's what it should be like:
private void printWords() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Run Text File");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JLabel textLabel = new JLabel("", SwingConstants.CENTER);
textLabel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 100));
frame.getContentPane().add(textLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
//Display the window. frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
for (int i = 0; i < words.size(); i++) {
//How many words?
//System.out.print(words.size());
//print each word on a new line...
Word w = words.get(i);
System.out.println(w.name);
//pause between each word.
try{
Thread.sleep(500);
}
catch(InterruptedException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
textLabel.setTest(w.name);
}
}

Error on getting values from an array in a thread (JAVA GUI SLOT MACHINE GAME)

I'm creating a slot machine game using java.After the user click the 'spin button' I need to get the values of the 3 pics which will be assigned to the 3 labels as slots in the GUI which is assigned by and array. But when i added threads to show the pictures changing in the array before assigning the last element to a slot, the proper values for the pics are not properly taken. instead it shows the values for the previous 3 pics which are assigned to the slots.

Swing GUI components should only be updated from the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT).
If you are trying to update the GUI repeatedly with a fixed delay in between, consider using a Timer to perform the GUI updates. The Timer will fire an ActionEvent at the specified interval and that ActionEvent will be on the EDT so you can safely update Swing components.
If it takes a long, or indeterminate, time to determine which images to load (perhaps because they're being fetched from a service), then you might need to add a SwingWorker into the mix to avoid blocking the EDT while you wait for the array of images to be returned.
(I'll update my answer with an example of how to use these in your code if you post a SSCCE - at the moment the absence of the Reel and Symbol classes prevent your code from compiling)
* UPDATE *
After looking at the SSCCE, it appears the problem has more to do with threading in general rather than interaction between the EDT and worker threads. In the code below, I made a couple changes which I believe will address the problem you've described:
Moved logic that checks for winner onto a separate thread, resultThread, which starts the three spinners and waits on their completion before determining if the spin is a winner.
Removed the blocks around thread1, thread2 and thread3 so they could be referenced by resultThread
Moved swing component updates to EDT through use of SwingUtilities.invokeLater() (note: this Oracle's recommended practice for interacting with Swing components, however I do not believe it's a fundamental part of this solution)

Swing delay between calls

I'm trying to make a program that load 4 images, put it in 4 labels and change the icons of each label in the frame regarding the random number in the list, like if it was blinking the images. It need to blink each image in the order that is sorted in comecaJogo() but when I press the btnComecar in the actionPerformed all imagens seems to change at the same time:
Here is my logic class:
public class Logica {
List<Integer> seqAlea = new ArrayList<Integer>();
List<Integer> seqInsere = new ArrayList<Integer>();
int placar = 0;
boolean cabouGame = false;
Random geraNumero = new Random();
int numero;
Timer timer = new Timer(1500,null);
public void comecaJogo() {
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
numero = geraNumero.nextInt(4) + 1;
seqAlea.add(numero);
}
}
public void piscaImagen(ImageIcon img1, ImageIcon img1b, JLabel lbl) {
timer.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
int count = 0;
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
if(lbl.getIcon() != img1){
lbl.setIcon(img1);
} else {
lbl.setIcon(img1b);
}
count++;
if(count == 2){
((Timer)evt.getSource()).stop();
}
}
});
timer.setInitialDelay(1250);
timer.start();
}
}
In the frame:
public class Main extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
JLabel lblImg1 = new JLabel();
JButton btnImg1 = new JButton("Economize Energia");
final URL resource1 = getClass().getResource("/br/unip/IMGs/img1.jpg");

There are multitudes of ways this might work, for example...
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.Timer;
import javax.swing.UIManager;
import javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException;
public class Main extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
JButton btnImg1 = new JButton();
JButton btnImg2 = new JButton();
JButton btnImg3 = new JButton();
JButton btnImg4 = new JButton();
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
} catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException | UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
JFrame frame = new Main();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
public Main() {
JPanel buttons = new JPanel(new GridLayout(2, 2)) {
#Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension(200, 200);
}
};
buttons.add(btnImg1);
buttons.add(btnImg2);
buttons.add(btnImg3);
buttons.add(btnImg4);
add(buttons);
JButton play = new JButton("Play");
add(play, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
play.addActionListener(this);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
List<JButton> sequence = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(new JButton[]{btnImg1, btnImg2, btnImg3, btnImg4}));
Collections.shuffle(sequence);
Timer timer = new Timer(1000, new ActionListener() {
private JButton last;
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (last != null) {
last.setBackground(null);
}
if (!sequence.isEmpty()) {
JButton btn = sequence.remove(0);
btn.setBackground(Color.RED);
last = btn;
} else {
((Timer)e.getSource()).stop();
}
}
});
timer.setInitialDelay(0);
timer.start();
}
}
This just places all the buttons into a List, shuffles the list and then the Timer removes the first button from the List until all the buttons have been "flashed".
Now this is just using the button's backgroundColor, so you'd need to create a class which allows you to associate the JButton with "on" and "off" images, these would then be added to the List and the Timer executed in a similar manner as above

How to add JPanel in a JFrame that is a BufferedImage()

So far I have this:
The logic is that:
a.)I will press the keybutton 'S' then the game will start
b.)The JTextArea will show the conversation of the users(note: I didn't disable it for debugging purposes)
c.)The JTextField will be the field the user will type text.
I have these working code:

I hope someone will help me with my problem.
Set the "main" containers layout manager to BorderLayout
On to this, add the GameInterface in the BorderLayout.CENTER position
Create another ("interaction") container and set it's layout manager to BorderLayout, add this to the "main" container's BorderLayout.SOUTH position
Wrap the JTextArea in a JScrollPane and add it to the BorderLayout.CENTER position of your "interaction" container
Create another container ("message"), this could use a GridBagLayout. On to this add the JTextField (with GridBagConstraints#weightx set to 0 and GridBagConstraints#weightx set to 1) and add the button to the next cell (GridBagConstraints#gridx set to 1 and GridBagConstraints#weightx set to 0)
For more details, see:
Laying Out Components Within a Container
How to Use Borders
How to Use GridBagLayout
Note:
Graphics g = getGraphics(); is NOT how custom painting should be done. Instead, override the paintComponent of a component like JPanel and perform your custom painting there!

JPanel doesn't load when called after another JPanel

I'm building a GUI, my program runs a series of tests. I end up closing my first JPanel window, and opening another one. When I run the second GUI window's class, it works just great. But after closing the first one, the window will come up, but no components will display. Is this a memory issue? What can I do about it?
Code:
package GUI;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;

How to change font size of JButton according to its size?

I have a java application - a calculator. I want to resize font of buttons dynamically with resizing the window of the app. How to implement it?
My idea is using ComponentEvents. I have initial size of the window of application and initial fonts' sizes. I want to change font size according to button's size, affected by window size change. The problem is how to use the ratio [initial window size] / [initial font size] in the overriden method? The ratio is different for each font.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ComponentEvent;
import java.awt.event.ComponentListener;
public class Main extends JFrame {
public Main() {
super("Test");
JPanel cPane = (JPanel) getContentPane();
cPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
MyButton sampleButton = new MyButton("Sample text");
sampleButton.setFont(new Font("Sans Serif", Font.PLAIN, 20));
MyButton a, b, c, d;
a = new MyButton("a");
b = new MyButton("b");
c = new MyButton("c");
d = new MyButton("d");
cPane.add(a, BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
cPane.add(b, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
cPane.add(c, BorderLayout.LINE_START);
cPane.add(d, BorderLayout.LINE_END);
cPane.add(sampleButton, BorderLayout.CENTER);
setSize(300, 200);
setResizable(true);
setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String... args) {
new Main();
}
class MyButton extends JButton implements ComponentListener {
public MyButton(String title) {
super(title);
}
#Override
public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e) {
//resizing font
}
#Override
public void componentMoved(ComponentEvent e) {
}
#Override
public void componentShown(ComponentEvent e) {
}
#Override
public void componentHidden(ComponentEvent e) {
}
}
}
See how you go with this code using GlyphVector to determine the largest Font that will fit.
The GUI was a little shaky unless there was a delay between setting the frame visible and adding the ComponentListener. I solved that by delaying adding the listener using a single shot Swing Timer.
Is is based on Calculet which is a fully functioning (if simple) calculator using the ScriptEngine.

Compare the approaches shown here and here. The former uses an available JComponent.sizeVariant.
The latter cites an example using FontMentrics.
Or TextLayout.
