<h1>Lecture for November 13</h1>
|
|
<h2>File IO (Cont.)</h2>
|
|
<p>Last class we talked about reading from files, we can also write to files.</p>
|
|
<h3>Import necessary libraries</h3>
|
|
<p>First you must import all of the necessary libraries</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-java">// To read
|
|
import java.util.Scanner;
|
|
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
|
|
// To Write
|
|
import java.io.FileReader;
|
|
import java.io.PrintWriter;
|
|
// For Exception Handling
|
|
import java.io.IOException;</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Then in your main, declare a <code>FileOutputStream</code> and <code>PrintWriter</code></p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-java">FileOutputStream file;
|
|
PrintWriter print;</code></pre>
|
|
<h3>Try-Catch-Finally</h3>
|
|
<p>Create a try block to open a file for writing</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-java">try {
|
|
// If the file doesn't exist, it'll create it
|
|
file = new FileOutputStream("output.txt");
|
|
print = new PrintWriter(file);
|
|
} catch (IOException except) {
|
|
// Prints out the error message
|
|
System.out.println("File error " + except.getMessage());
|
|
} </code></pre>
|
|
<p>Adding a finally block allows the program to clean up before it closes</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-java"> try {
|
|
file = new FileOutputStream("output.txt");
|
|
print = new PrintWriter(file);
|
|
} catch (IOException except) {
|
|
System.out.println("File error " + except.getMessage());
|
|
} finally { // It starts here!
|
|
delete file;
|
|
delete print;
|
|
file.close();
|
|
return;
|
|
}</code></pre>
|
|
<h3>Write to the file :)</h3>
|
|
<p>Then you can write the to file!</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-java">// Do you notice the following methods?
|
|
print.println("Your number is");
|
|
print.print("My name is..\n");
|
|
print.printf("%s %d", "Hello ", 5);
|
|
print.flush(); //Clears the output stream
|
|
file.close(); //Closes the file
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Extra Note: Disk fragmentation is a way of cleaning up memory that isn't being used by any of the code on your computer. </p>
|
|
<h2>Swing Graphics</h2>
|
|
<h3>Importing Necessary Libraries</h3>
|
|
<p>You need to import all the necessary libraries first</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-java">import javax.swing.*;
|
|
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
|
|
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;</code></pre>
|
|
<h3>Changing the class header</h3>
|
|
<p>Your class file needs to extend <code>JFrame</code> that way it can use a bunch of the already existent code written for Swing applications</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-java">public class firstGUi extends JFrame {
|
|
//....</code></pre>
|
|
<h3>Swing Components</h3>
|
|
<p>Java Swing makes use of what is called Swing Components. These are basic building blocks of GUI items you can add to the screen. For example, a checkbox, a radio button, text field. These are all swing components.</p>
|
|
<p>I wrote a blog post back in the summer which is an overview of them. You can check it out here: <a href="https://brandonrozek.com/2017/06/java-swing-components/">https://brandonrozek.com/2017/06/java-swing-components/</a></p>
|
|
<p>Inside your <code>firstGUI</code> class, declare some Swing components you would like to use in the program</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-java">public class firstGUI extends JFrame {
|
|
JButton button1;
|
|
JTextArea area;
|
|
JTextField text;
|
|
// ....
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<h3>Constructor</h3>
|
|
<p>You need to create a constructor for this class that way you can initiate all of the swing component values.</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-java">// ...
|
|
JButton button1;
|
|
JTextArea area;
|
|
JTextField text;
|
|
|
|
// Begin Constructor
|
|
firstGUI() {
|
|
// Define the components
|
|
JLabel name = new JLabel("Enter in your name:");
|
|
text = new JTextField("Jennifer", 20); // 20 characters long, default value: Jennifer
|
|
area = new JTextArea(10, 10); //Width and Height is 10 characters big
|
|
JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(area); //Adds a scroll bar for the text area
|
|
button1 = new JButton("Press Me");
|
|
|
|
// Set the Layout
|
|
// FlowLayout organizes each of the components top to bottom, left to right
|
|
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
|
|
|
|
// Add the components to the screen
|
|
add(name);
|
|
add(text);
|
|
add(sp); // never add the textarea when surrounded by a ScrollPane
|
|
add(button1);
|
|
}</code></pre>
|
|
<h3>New Main Method</h3>
|
|
<p>Finally, you need to create the Main method which will initiate it all</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-java">public static void main(String[] args) {
|
|
firstGUI myFrame = new firstGUI();
|
|
|
|
// End the program when the 'x' button (not keyboard) is pressed
|
|
myFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
|
|
|
|
myFrame.setTitle("My title"); // Titles the window
|
|
myFrame.pack(); // Packs it all into the frame
|
|
myFrame.setVisible(true); // Makes the frame appear on the screen
|
|
}</code></pre>
|
|
<h3>Making it interactive</h3>
|
|
<p>You need to change your class header to the following</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-java">public class firstGUI extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
|
|
// ...</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Then in your class, add the following method</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-java">@Override public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
|
|
// Do stuff as a result of an event here
|
|
area.append("You Pressed the Button");
|
|
}</code></pre>
|
|
<p>To make it actually activate as a result of an event. You need to attach it to a swing component.</p>
|
|
<p>For example, I want the code in <code>actionPerformed</code> to activate in result of a button press.</p>
|
|
<p>Add the following line to your code in the constructor.</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-java">//...
|
|
button1 = new JButton("Press Me");
|
|
button1.addActionListener(this); // New Code
|
|
//....</code></pre>
|
|
<h3>Identifying Button Pressed</h3>
|
|
<p>How do you know which button was pressed in the <code>actionPerformed</code> method?</p>
|
|
<p>You can use <code>event.getSource()</code> to find out.</p>
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-java">@Override public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
|
|
if (event.getSource() == button1) { // Replace button1 with appropriate variable name
|
|
// Do things as a result of a specific button being pressed
|
|
}
|
|
}</code></pre>
|
|
<h3>Summary</h3>
|
|
<p>To use Swing, do the following steps</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Import Libraries</li>
|
|
<li>Declare J___ variables</li>
|
|
<li>New the J___ variables</li>
|
|
<li>Add the J___ variables to the frame</li>
|
|
<li>Add the <code>ActionListener</code> to the components you wish to monitor</li>
|
|
</ol>
