1. Lesson 35: Review of the Java GUI

2. The JFrame, Container and JButton

3. // helloworldbutton.java import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; class HelloButton{ public static void main (String[] args){ JFrame frame = new JFrame("HelloButton"); Container pane = frame.getContentPane(); JButton hello = new JButton("HelloWorld"); pane.add(hello); frame.pack(); frame.show(); } The Java Button frame.setSize(300,200);

4. The Swing library Any program that uses Swing to create a window enters a separate thread of execution that enters an infinite loop, looking for events such as mouse movements, button clicks or key presses. This is like having to workers executing the program: –One for the main() –One for watching for events This results in an event driven program When main() is finished, the program still is executing the “listening” part of the library object.

5. The Swing library All Swing components are event sources that can be observed or listened to. To use the event, we need to tell the source which object to notify when an event occurs. By default the JButton reacts to a mouse click by changing its appearance. JButtons are also the source of java.awt.event.ActionEvent objects. An ActionEvent is generated by a button when you click the button with a mouse. Objects that can receive events are called listeners. Different type of events have different listeners.

6. // HelloGoodBye.java import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; class HelloGoodBye{ public static void main (String[] args){ JFrame frame = new JFrame("HelloGoodBye"); Container pane = frame.getContentPane(); JButton hello = new JButton("Hello world!!"); GoodBye listener = new GoodBye(); hello.addActionListener(listener); pane.add(hello); frame.setSize(200,75); frame.show(); } Now we have a button, but no action for the object named listener from the GoodBye class

7. // GoodBye.java import java.awt.event.*; class GoodBye implements ActionListener{ public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { System.out.println(“Goodbye !”); System.exit(0); }

8. The Result

9. The steps Create a button with new Jbutton (“some label”) Get the Container for the Jframe using getContentPane() Add the button to the content pane of the Jframe with add() Create an ActionEventListener class by –Adding implements ActionEventListener to the lcass declaration and –Defining an actionPerformed method Add the listener object to the list of listeners for the button by calling button.addActionListener(listener), where the button is the name we gave our button, and listener is an instance of the class we created to be executed when the button was clicked (the GoodBye class).

10. Many Buttons // ManyButtons.java import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; class ManyButtons{ public static void main (String[] args){ JFrame frame = new JFrame("myCalculator"); Container pane = frame.getContentPane(); JButton exit = new JButton("Exit"); GoodBye listener = new GoodBye(); exit.addActionListener(listener); JButton myAddition = new JButton("2+2"); Addition listener1 = new Addition(); myAddition.addActionListener(listener1); JButton mySubtraction = new JButton("123-12"); Subtraction listener2 = new Subtraction(); mySubtraction.addActionListener(listener2); pane.add(exit); pane.add(myAddition); pane.add(mySubtraction); frame.pack(); frame.show(); } How not to engineer the application

11. // Addition.java import java.awt.event.*; class Addition implements ActionListener{ public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { System.out.println("The answer is 4"); System.exit(0); } // Subtraction.java import java.awt.event.*; class Subtraction implements ActionListener{ public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { System.out.println("The answer is 111"); System.exit(0); } // GoodBye.java import java.awt.event.*; class GoodBye implements ActionListener{ public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { System.out.println("Goodbye!"); System.exit(0); } How not to engineer the application

12. The JTextField, JLabel and gridLayout

13. // MiniCalc.java - demo gridlayout import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; class MiniCalc{ public static void main (String[] args){ JFrame frame = new JFrame("MiniCalc"); Container pane = frame.getContentPane(); //Creating the major components JTextField firstNumber= new JTextField(20); JTextField secondNumber= new JTextField(20); JTextField result= new JTextField(20); JButton addButton = new JButton("Add"); JButton subButton = new JButton("Subtract"); pane.setLayout(new GridLayout(4,2)); pane.add(new JLabel("Enter a number")); pane.add(firstNumber); pane.add(new JLabel("Enter a number")); pane.add(secondNumber); pane.add(new JLabel("Result")); pane.add(result); pane.add(addButton); pane.add(subButton); DoMath listener = new DoMath(firstNumber, secondNumber, result); subButton.addActionListener(listener); addButton.addActionListener(listener); frame.pack(); frame.show(); } Dividing the Container in a grid with 4 rows and 2 columns

14. // DoMath.java import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.event.*; class DoMath implements ActionListener{ DoMath(JTextField first, JTextField second, JTextField result){ inputOne = first; inputTwo = second; output = result; } public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){ double first, second; first = Double.parseDouble(inputOne.getText().trim()); second = Double.parseDouble(inputTwo.getText().trim()); if (e.getActionCommand().equals("Add")) output.setText(String.valueOf(first+second)); else output.setText(String.valueOf(first-second)); } private JTextField inputOne, inputTwo, output; } Simple if…else statement

15. Running the application

16. The layout manipulations

17. The LEFT layout // FlowLayoutTest.java - demo flowlayout import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; class FlowLayoutTest{ public static void main (String[] args){ JFrame frame = new JFrame("FlowLayoutTest.LEFT"); Container pane = frame.getContentPane(); pane.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT)); pane.add(new JButton("Button 1")); pane.add(new JLabel("Label 2")); pane.add(new JButton("Button 3")); pane.add(new JLabel("Label 4")); pane.add(new JButton("Button 5")); frame.pack(); frame.show(); } CENTER LEFT

18. Adding buttons to actions and frames -Another example

19. Adding a button to StartTest // StarTestQuit.java - add a quit button to StartTest import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; class StarTestQuit{ public static void main (String[] args){ JFrame frame = new JFrame("StartTest"); Container pane = frame.getContentPane(); Star star = new Star(); JButton Quit = new JButton("Quit"); pane.setLayout(new FlowLayout()); Quit.addActionListener(new GoodBye()); pane.add(Quit); pane.add(star); frame.pack(); frame.show(); } Adding an actionlistener to the button based on the GoodBye class (from earlier class example) Adding the button and the star to the container Showing the frame Packing the frame to smallest size

20. ProgramCompile Run Exit

21. A simple Drawing program

22. Drawing in a frame // StarTest.java - display a starburst import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; class StarTest{ public static void main (String[] args){ JFrame frame = new JFrame("StartTest"); Container pane = frame.getContentPane(); Star star = new Star(); pane.add(star); frame.pack(); frame.show(); }

23. The Star Class // Star.java - draws a star import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; class Star extends JComponent{ public void paint (Graphics g){ double x1, x2, y1, y2; for (double angle=0; angle<Math.PI; angle = angle + Math.PI / 16) { x1=Math.cos(angle) * RADIUS + RADIUS; y1=Math.sin(angle) * RADIUS + RADIUS; x2=Math.cos(angle + Math.PI) * RADIUS + RADIUS; y2=Math.sin(angle + Math.PI) * RADIUS + RADIUS; g.drawLine((int)x1, (int)y1,(int)x2, (int)y2); } public Dimension getMinimumSize(){ return new Dimension(2 * RADIUS, 2 * RADIUS); } public Dimension getPreferredSize(){ return new Dimension(2 * RADIUS, 2 * RADIUS); } private static final int RADIUS = 100; }

24. An interactive Drawing program

25. // SimplePaint.java - drawing with a mouse import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; class SimplePaint{ public static void main (String[] args){ JFrame frame = new JFrame("SimplePaint"); Container pane = frame.getContentPane(); DrawingCanvas canvas = new DrawingCanvas(); PaintListener listener=new PaintListener(); canvas.addMouseMotionListener(listener); pane.add(canvas); frame.pack(); frame.show(); }

26. // DrawingCanvas.java - a blank canvas import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; class DrawingCanvas extends JComponent{ public Dimension getMinimumSize(){ return new Dimension(SIZE, SIZE); } public Dimension getPreferredSize(){ return new Dimension(SIZE, SIZE); } private static final int SIZE=500; }

27. // PaintListener.java import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; class PaintListener implements MouseMotionListener{ public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) { DrawingCanvas canvas = (DrawingCanvas)e.getSource(); Graphics g = canvas.getGraphics(); g.fillOval(e.getX()-radius, e.getY() - radius, diameter, diameter); } public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e){} private int radius =3; private int diameter = radius*2; } This class implements the interface MouseMotionListener The interface MouseMotionListener requires that two methods are implemented: 1)mouseDragged (button clicked and held down) 2)mouseMoved (no button clicked and held down)

28. The outcome

29. Some problems with our simple drawing program…

30. Everytime a window is placed over the drawing, the text that was overlapped is removed when the window becomes active again

31. // PaintListener2.java - paints on a DrwaingCanvas2 // and it is associated with an offscreenImage. import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; class PaintListener2 implements MouseMotionListener{ public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) { DrawingCanvas2 canvas = (DrawingCanvas2)e.getSource(); Graphics g = canvas.getGraphics(); g.fillOval(e.getX()-radius, e.getY() - radius, diameter, diameter); // duplicating the drawing on the offscreenImage Image image= canvas.getOffscreenImage(); g = image.getGraphics(); g.fillOval(e.getX()-radius, e.getY() - radius, diameter, diameter); } public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e){} protected int radius =3; protected int diameter = radius*2; }

32. // SimplePaint2.java - drawing with a mouse import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; class SimplePaint2{ public static void main (String[] args){ JFrame frame = new JFrame("SimplePaint"); Container pane = frame.getContentPane(); DrawingCanvas2 canvas = new DrawingCanvas2(); PaintListener2 listener=new PaintListener2(); canvas.addMouseMotionListener(listener); pane.add(canvas); frame.pack(); frame.show(); }

33. // DrawingCanvas2.java - a blank canvas that remembers // drawing operations using an offscreen image import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; class DrawingCanvas2 extends JComponent{ public void paint(Graphics g){ if (offscreenImage!=null) g.drawImage(offscreenImage,0,0,SIZE,SIZE,null); } public Image getOffscreenImage(){ if (offscreenImage==null) offscreenImage=createImage(SIZE,SIZE); return offscreenImage; } public Dimension getMinimumSize(){ return new Dimension(SIZE, SIZE); } public Dimension getPreferredSize(){ return new Dimension(SIZE, SIZE); } private static final int SIZE=500; private Image offscreenImage; }

34. Everytime a window is placed over the drawing, the offscreenimage is called when the window becomes active again
