Create Toast Message in Java Swing
A toast message is an alert which disappears with time automatically. With JDK 7, we can create a toast message similar to an alert on android very easily. Following are the steps needed to make a toast message.Make a rounded rectangle shaped frame. Add a component listener to frame and override the componentResized() to change the shape of the frame. This method recalculates the shape of the frame correctly whenever the window size is changed.frame.addComponentListener(new ComponentAdapter() { @Override public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e) { frame.setShape(new RoundRectangle2D.Double(0, 0, frame.getWidth(), frame.getHeight(), 20, 20)); } ...
Read MoreCreate a simple calculator using Java Swing
Swing API is a set of extensible GUI Components to ease the developer's life to create JAVA based Front End/GUI Applications. It is built on top of AWT API and acts as a replacement of AWT API since it has almost every control corresponding to AWT controls.Following example showcases a simple calculator application.import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.GridBagConstraints; import java.awt.GridBagLayout; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.JTextField; public class Calculator implements ActionListener { private static JTextField inputBox; Calculator(){} public static void main(String[] args) { createWindow(); } ...
Read MoreHow to validate if JTable has an empty cell in Java?
A JTable is a subclass of JComponent class for displaying complex data structures. A JTable can follow the Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern for displaying the data in rows and columns. A JTable will generate TableModelListener, TableColumnModelListener, ListSelectionListener, CellEditorListener and RowSorterListener interfaces.We can validate whether the JTable cell is empty or not by implementing the getValueAt() method of JTable class. If we click on the "Click Here" button, it will generate an action event and display a popup message like "Field is Empty" to the user.Exampleimport java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.table.*; public class JTableEmptyValidateTest extends JFrame { ...
Read MoreHow can we filter a JTable in Java?
A JTable provides a very flexible possibility to create and display tables. The TableModel interface defines methods for objects that specify the contents of a table. The AbstractTableModel class is typically extended to provide a custom implementation of a model table. A JTable class provides the ability to edit tables using the method setCellEditor() allows an object of the TableCellEditor interface.We can filter a table using the setRowFilter() method of TableRowSorter class.Exampleimport java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.util.regex.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.table.*; public class FilterTableTest extends JFrame { private JTable table; private TableModel model; ...
Read MoreHow to implement the mouse right-click on each node of JTree in Java?
A JTree is a subclass of JComponent class that can be used to display the data with the hierarchical properties by adding nodes to nodes and keeps the concept of parent and child node. Each element in the tree becomes a node. The nodes are expandable and collapsible. We can implement the mouse right-click on each node of a JTree using the mouseReleased() method of MouseAdapter class and need to call show() method of JPopupMenu class to show the popup menu on the tree node.Exampleimport java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.tree.*; public class JTreeRightClickTest extends JFrame { ...
Read MoreHow to display "No records available" text in a JTable in Java?
A JTable is a subclass of JComponent class and it can be used to create a table with information displayed in multiple rows and columns. When a value is selected from a JTable, a TableModelEvent is generated, which is handled by implementing a TableModelListener interface.In the below program, we can display "No records available" text if the rows are not available in a JTable.Exampleimport java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.table.*; public class NoRecordTableTest extends JFrame { private JPanel panel; private JTable table; private JScrollPane scrollPane; public NoRecordTableTest() { panel = new JPanel(); panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); ...
Read MoreHow can we add different font style items to JList in Java?
A JList is a subclass of JComponent class and it can be used to display a list of objects that allows the user to select one or more items. A JList can generate a ListSelectiionListener interface and need to implement the abstract method valueChanged(). A DefaultListModel class provides a simple implementation of a list model, which can be used to manage items displayed by a JList control. We can add the items to a JList using the addElement() method of the DefaultListModel class, we can also add items with different fonts to JList using HTML tags like for bold ...
Read MoreHow can we implement transparent JDialog in Java?
A JDialog is a subclass of Dialog class and it does not hold minimize and maximize buttons at the top right corner of the window. There are two types of dialog boxes namely, modal and non-modal. The default layout for a dialog box is BorderLayout.In the below program, we can implement a transparent JDialog by customizing the AlphaContainer class and override the paintComponent() method.Exampleimport java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; public class TransparentDialog { public static void main (String[] args) { JDialog dialog = new JDialog(); dialog.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE); ...
Read MoreHow can we detect the double click events of a JTable row in Java?
A JTable is a subclass of JComponent for displaying complex data structures. A JTable can follow the Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern for displaying the data in rows and columns. A JTable can generate TableModelListener, TableColumnModelListener, ListSelectionListener, CellEditorListener and RowSorterListener interfaces. We can detect the double click events of a JTable by using a MouseAdapter class or MouseListener interface. We can set the getClickCount() value to '2' of a MouseEvent class for detecting the double click events of a JTable.Exampleimport java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.table.*; public final class DoublClickJTableRowTest extends JFrame { private JTable table; private JScrollPane scrollPane; public DoublClickJTableRowTest() { ...
Read MoreWhat is the importance of JViewport class in Java?
JViewportA JViewport class defines the basic scrolling model and it is designed to support both logical scrolling and pixel-based scrolling.The viewport's child called the view is scrolled by calling JViewport.setViewPosition() method.A JViewport class supports logical scrolling, that is a kind of scrolling in which view coordinates are not pixels.To support a logical scrolling, JViewport defines a small set of methods that can be used to define the geometry of a viewport and a view. By default, these methods just report the pixel dimensions of the viewport and view.Exampleimport java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; public class JViewportTest extends JFrame { public JViewportTest() { setTitle("JViewport Test"); ...
