The final keyword is introduced by PHP5 related to the object-oriented programming concept.But before we move on to the final, we need to ensure that we have a good understanding of the inheritance concept. In inheritance, we can inherit a class from another class. Also, we can override a function in an inherited class, to replace the behavior originally provided. In some cases, we might need to keep a class from being inherited from or we may need to prevent a function to be overridden. This can be achieved with the final, by prefixing the class and function with the ... Read More

Yes, we can declare the main () method as final in Java. The compiler does not throw any error.If we declare any method as final by placing the final keyword then that method becomes the final method.The main use of the final method in Java is they are not overridden.We can not override final methods in subclasses.If we are using inheritance and we need some methods not to overridden in subclasses then we need to make it final so that those methods can't be overridden by subclasses.We can access final methods in the subclass but we can not override final methods.Exampleclass BaseClass ...

To set scrollbars to never appear, use the JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER and JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER. Let’s say you created a Box with some button components. Now, create a JScrollPane:JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();Set the Viewport view as Box:scrollPane.setViewportView(box);Now, set the scrollbars to never appear:scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER); scrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);The following is an example to set scrollbars to never appear:Examplepackage my; import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Dimension; import javax.swing.Box; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JScrollPane; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String args[]) {       JFrame frame = new JFrame("Demo");       frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);       JButton button1 = new JButton("One");       JButton button2 ...

At first, we will create a slider and set it to snap to tick marks:JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 100, 40); slider.setMinorTickSpacing(10); slider.setMajorTickSpacing(20); slider.setPaintTicks(true); slider.setPaintLabels(true); slider.setSnapToTicks(true);After that, we will check whether the slider is currently snapping to tick marks. The result would be displayed in the TRUE/FALSE booleanslider.getSnapToTicks()Display the result in the Console as shown below:System.out.println("Snapping to tick marks? = "+slider.getSnapToTicks());The following is an example to determine whether the slider is currently snapping to tick marks:Examplepackage my; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Font; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.JSlider; import javax.swing.WindowConstants; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) ...

Set the following to FALSE to enable the display of hidden files −JFileChooser file = new JFileChooser(); file.setFileHidingEnabled(false);The following is an example to enable the display of hidden files in a JFileChooser −Examplepackage my; import javax.swing.JFileChooser; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       JFileChooser file = new JFileChooser();       file.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);       file.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);       file.setFileHidingEnabled(false);       int res = file.showOpenDialog(null);       if (res == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {          java.io.File f = file.getSelectedFile();          System.err.println(f.getPath());       }   ...

To customize the tooltip font, color and background, use UIManager.UIManager.put("ToolTip.background", Color.ORANGE); UIManager.put("ToolTip.foreground", Color.BLACK); UIManager.put("ToolTip.font", new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 14));Above, we have set the font with −Tooltip.fontWe have set the foreground and background color with the following above −ToolTip.foreground ToolTip.backgroundThe following is an example to customize tooltip −Examplepackage my; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Font; import java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment; import java.awt.GridLayout; import java.awt.Point; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.JPasswordField; import javax.swing.JTextField; import javax.swing.SwingConstants; import javax.swing.UIManager; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {       JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);       JFrame frame = new JFrame("Register!");       JLabel label1, label2, ...

To set the JSlider to be vertical, use the VERTICAL constant while creating the slider −JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.VERTICAL, 0, 100, 60);Now, for the inverted slider i.e. moving from top-to-bottom −slider.setInverted(true);The following is an example to set the slider vertical and move top-to-bottom −Examplepackage my; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.JSlider; import javax.swing.WindowConstants; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       JFrame frame = new JFrame("Frame with Slider");       JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.VERTICAL, 0, 100, 60);       slider.setInverted(true);       slider.setMinorTickSpacing(5);       slider.setMajorTickSpacing(20);     ...

Use the following constants for the JScrollBar to display the vertical and horizontal scrollbars always even if it is not required −scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS); scrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);The following is an example to display the vertical and horizontal scrollbars always even if it is not required −Examplepackage my; import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Dimension; import javax.swing.Box; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JScrollPane; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String args[]) {       JFrame frame = new JFrame("Demo");       frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);       JButton button1 = new JButton("Questions and Answers");       JButton button2 = new JButton("Videos");       JButton ...

Use the setHgap() method to set the horizontal gap between elements in a GridLayout. Let’s say we have a GridLaypout −GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(2, 4);Set the horizontal gap −layout.setHgap(25);The following is an example −Examplepackage my; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Dimension; import java.awt.FlowLayout; import java.awt.Font; import java.awt.GridLayout; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.JTextArea; import javax.swing.WindowConstants; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       JFrame frame = new JFrame("Sections");       JPanel panel = new JPanel();       panel.setBackground(Color.blue);       GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(2, 4);     ...

Java main() method is always static, so that compiler can call it without the creation of an object or before the creation of an object of the class.In any Java program, the main() method is the starting point from where compiler starts program execution. So, the compiler needs to call the main() method.If the main() is allowed to be non-static, then while calling the main() method JVM has to instantiate its class.While instantiating it has to call the constructor of that class, There will be ambiguity if the constructor of that class takes an argument.Static method of a class can be ...
