What is an Array?

When we say Array it is an arrangement of numbers, pictures or objects

that are formatted into rows and columns according to the type that are going
to use. Basically in programming, it is a collection of items or data that is
stored in a contiguous memory location, which is also known as database
systems. The purpose of an array is to simply store pieces of data of the same
type together.
When we talk about Arrays in terms of computer programming. This can
help you to locate and identify where we stored each piece of data, or element
by simply adding an offset to each value.

Each value in an array is called an element, and each element is accessed

by its numerical index. Always remember as shown in the illustration above
indexes always starts with 0. For example the 7th element is on index 6.
Another example the 10th element will be therefore our last index which is 9.
Since the Array length of our example is 10 our indexes will be 0 to 9.

How do we declare an Array?

Same as what we learned before in declaration variable type, an array can

be declared in two components. The two are what called Array with Value and
Array without Value.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |Introduction to Array 6

Example:

Array with Value:

Datatype identifier [ ] = {val1,val2,val3,val4,val5};

String name [ ] = {“Joey”, “Ross”, “Chandler”, “Monica”, “Phoebe”};

Array without Value:

Datatype identifier [ ] = new datatype sized[ ];

String name [ ] = new String [5];

You can declare different type of Arrays.

Example:

byte[ ] exampleByte;
short[ ] exampleShort;

long[ ] exampleLong;
float[ ] exampleFloat;

double[ ] exampleDouble;
boolean[ ] exampleBoolean;

char[ ] exampleChar;
int[ ] exampleInt;

We can also place the brackets after the array's name:

Example:
int exampleInt[];
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |Introduction to Array 7

Accessing Array Elements

Let’s have an example first of an Array with Value.

An element is accessed by indexing the array name. This is done by placing

the index of the element within square brackets after the name of the array.

As an example we want to get the Element value “Chandler” so we need to

find its index number. Can you guess the index number of the Element Value
Chandler? Yes, that’s correct! It is Index 2 now we need to access it right now
by simply getting the Data type Identifier followed by the index number.

Example:

Identifier [index];
name [2];

//0 1 2 3 4 5
String name[] = {"Joey","Ross","Chandler","Monica", "Phoebe","Rachel"};

System.out.println(name[2]);
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |Introduction to Array 8

We can also use for loop & for each loop to access all our arrays elements.

Example 1:

int num[] = {10,20,30,40,50};

for(int i = 0; i<num.length; i++)

System.out.println("Element at index "+ i + " : " +num[i]+" ");

Example 2:
int num[] = new int [5];
num[0]= 10;
num[1]= 20;
num[2]= 30;
num[3]= 40;
num[4]= 50;

for(int i = 0; i<num.length; i++)

System.out.println("Element at index "+ i + " : " +num[i]+" ");

Example 3:

char[] vowels = {'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'};

// iterating through an array using the for-each loop

for (char item: vowels) {
System.out.println(item);
}

Introduction
One-Dimensional Array from the name itself one-dimensional array
we know that this means it must deal with only one parameter. Entities of
similar types can be stored together using one-dimensional arrays. It can store
primitive data types (int, float, char, etc.) or objects.

When we say Array it is a group of variables which we also called

elements or components which contains values that have the same type. We
can say that Arrays are objects, that’s why it is considered reference types.
So we think of an array as actually a reference to an array object in
memory.

The elements of an array can be either primitive types or reference types.

To refer to a particular element in an array, we can specify the name of the
reference to the array and the position number of the element in the array. The
position number of the element is called index or also known as subscript.

How do we declare an Array?

A one-dimensional array can be visualized as a single row or a column of array elements that are
represented by a variable name and whose elements are accessed by index values.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |Introduction to Array 5

Declaration of one-dimensional array

So, let's see how we can declare a one-dimensional array in Java.

Datatype Identifier[ ];

Or
Datatype[] Identifier;

Remember an Array declaration has two components:

Data-type: This determines the data type of each element present in the array. (Char,int float,
objects etc.).

Identifier: It is the name of the reference variable.

[ ]: It is called subscript

Example:
int exampleInt[ ];
long exampleLong[ ] ;
float exampleFloat[ ] ;
char exampleChar[ ] ;

Now let’s learn how to create an actual one dimensional array.

Declare with Values

datatype identifier[]= {val1, val2, val3, val4, val5, val6}
int varNum[]= {1,2,-5,8,32};

Declare without Values

Datatype identifier []= new datatypesize[]
int varNum[] = new int[5];
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |Introduction to Array 6

Memory Representation after construction

The new int[10] initializes and creates an object referenced as number and assigns memory to the
object in heap segment.

By default, the new operator initializes the elements in the array to zero (for numeric types), false
(for Boolean).
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |Introduction to Array 7

One-Dimensional Array Examples

Example 1: Standard Method

int numVal[] = { 1, 2, 8, -10, 28,36 }; // initializing array

for (int i = 0; i < numVal.length; i++) {
System.out.println(numVal [i] + " "); // printing array elements
}

Example 2: Using Scanner

Remember in our previous lessons that Scanner is used to get user input and it is found in the
java.util packages.

public static void main(String args[]) {

// creating object of Scanner class
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter length of Array: ");

int numLength = scan.nextInt();

int[] numElement = new int[numLength];

System.out.println("Enter the elements of the Array");
for (int i = 0; i < numLength; i++) {
// taking array input
numElement [i] = scan.nextInt();
}

System.out.println("One dimensional array elements are:");

for (int i = 0; i < numLength; i++) {
// printing array elements
System.out.print(numElement [i] + " ");
}
}
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |Introduction to Array 8

Example 3: Using String

public static void main(String args[]) {

String[] array = { "Learning", "One-dimensional array", "in
java" };

System.out.println("String array elements are:");

for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {

System.out.println(array[i]);
}
}

Example 4:
public static void main(String[] args) {

int array[] = { 87,68,94,30};

int total = 0;

for(int counter = 0; counter < array.length;

counter++)
total += array[counter];
System.out.println(total);
}

Example 5: Using math random

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] array = new int[5];

for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {

array[i] = (int)(Math.random() * 100);
}

System.out.println(Arrays.toString(array));

}
}
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |Introduction to Array 9

Example 6:

public static void main(String args[]) {

int arraySample1[] = new int[10];
int arraySample2[] = {3, 5, 7, 1, 8, 99, 44, -10};
int arraySample3[] = {4, 3, 2, 1};

System.out.println("length of a1 is " + arraySample1.length);

System.out.println("length of a2 is " + arraySample2.length);
System.out.println("length of a3 is " + arraySample3.length);
}
}
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |Introduction to Array 10

Activity 2

Task: Write a program that will find the number based on your selected Array Length. The
program should do the following:
• The program can read at least 100 numbers.
• The program can determine the average length of an Array.
• The program finds the number of the items greater than the average.
• The program can enter an output.

Example:

SUMMARY

An array is a collection of similar types of elements stored at contiguous

locations. It can store primitive data types (int, char, float, etc.) or objects.

One-dimensional array or single dimensional array must deal with values of

only one data type. One dimensional arrays can also store multiple objects of
the same class.

An array in java is an object of a dynamically generated class that can be

initialized and created using the new operator.

Array in java is index-based, the first element of the array is stored at the 0th
index, the second element at the 1st index, and so on.

One dimensional arrays in Java are static in size. This means, once created,
the size of one dimensional arrays cannot be changed.

Introduction
A 2D array in Java is fundamentally an array of arrays. It is a data structure
that enables the storage of information in a grid-like format with rows and
columns. Row and column indexes uniquely identify each constituent in the
2D array.
To designate a 2D array in Java, you must specify the data type and
dimensions of the array's elements. Here is the basic syntax:.

How do we declare an Array?

For example, let's say we want to create a 2D array to store integers with 3 rows and 4 columns.
We can declare and initialize it like this:

With this declaration, a three-by-four-element array with the name myArray is created. Initially,
the array will have the default values for each element, which in this case are integer values of 0.

Another example on how to declare a 2D Array:

With this we declare a 5 by 5 element array with the name sampleArray is created. We call this
as array with declaration.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |Introduction to Array 5

Examples of Two Dimensional Array

Once again 2D arrays are created in rows and columns and each of them represents its indexes.

Example:

In our first example we call num[0][0] which has the value of 1 and num[0][1] which has the
value of 2.

Therefore we will have an output of Array num[0][0] value: 1

And Array num[0][1] value: 2.

PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |Introduction to Array 6

Example 2:

To iterate through a 2D array in Java we can use a for loop where in we can set the condition
base on the size of the array.

Or we can also use .length wherein it gets the size of our array.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |Introduction to Array 7

Example 3:

We can also set manually our table in 2D Array example:

Example loop when it comes to array:

Activity 2

Task: Imagine you are organizing a seating arrangement for a dinner party. You have a 2D
array representing the available seats, where each element represents a seat. The
value 0 represents an empty seat, and 1 represents an occupied seat. Your task is to
find an empty seat for a late-arriving guest. How would you approach this problem
using a 2D array and Java?
 PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |Introduction to Array 10

SUMMARY

In Java, a 2D array is a data structure that allows you to store elements in a

grid-like format with rows and columns. It is essentially an array of arrays.

To declare and initialize a 2D array, you need to specify the data type of the
elements and the dimensions of the array using square brackets. For
example, int[][] array = new int[3][4]; creates a 2D array with 3 rows and 4
columns.

You can access and modify elements in a 2D array using the row and column
indices. The indices are zero-based, meaning the first row or column has an
index of 0. For example, int element = array[1][2]; retrieves the value at the
second row and third column.

2D arrays can also be jagged arrays, where each row can have a different
number of columns. This allows for flexibility in representing irregular data
structures.

What is Jagged Array In Java?

A jagged array in Java is a collection of arrays where each array may contain a
varied number of elements. A two-dimensional array, in contrast, requires all
rows and columns to have the same length.

Jagged arrays are also known as "ragged arrays" or "irregular arrays". They can
be created by specifying the size of each array in the declaration. For example,
a jagged array with three rows can have the first row with three elements, the
second with two elements, and the third with four elements.

• They are also called as “Ragged arrays”

PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |COMPUTER PROGRAMMING 2 5

• In Java, it is an array of arrays where each element is an array

separately. Each element of this particular form of multidimensional
array has the special ability to have a range of sizes.

Array Recap:
• Arrays in Java are collections of similar types of elements. They are
objects, and the elements are stored in contiguous memory locations.
• Indexing of Java starts from 0 and goes up to the length of the array
minus 1 (0 to length-1).
• Arrays are stored in the heap memory.
• We have two types of Array. (Single Dimensional Array &
Multidimensional Array).

Declaration and Initialization of Jagged Array

<Data-Type> identifier [ ][ ] = new <Data-Type>[n][];

identifier[0]=new <Data-Type> [n1];

identifier[1]=new <Data-Type> [n2];

identifier[2]=new <Data-Type> [n3];

Example Syntax #1:

int arraySample[][] = new int[][]{

new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4 },

new int[] { 4, 5},

new int[] { 6, 7, 8},

};
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |COMPUTER PROGRAMMING 2 6

Example Syntax #2:

int arraySample[][] ={
new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4 },

new int[] { 4, 5},

new int[] { 6, 7, 8},

};

Example Syntax #3:

Significance of Jagged Array

Jagged arrays make storage easy as it provides a variable number of columns.

The performance of a program can be improved as here we don't need to store unwanted elements
and have flexibility over the number of elements in the row.
Jagged arrays have a greater speed than multidimensional arrays and single-dimensional arrays as
traversal is faster in jagged arrays.

WHAT IS JAVA SWING?

Window-based apps are made using Java Swing, a component of Java

Foundation Classes (JFC). The Java Swing is totally developed in Java, and it
is based on the foundation of the AWT API, which stands for Abstract
Windowing Toolkit.
Compared AWT, Java Swing offers superior platform-independent and
lightweight components.

The Swing component set was originally created because the basic
AWT components that came with the original version of the Java libraries were
insufficient for real-world, forms-based applications. All the basic components
were there, but the existing set was too small and far too restrictive. For
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |COMPUTER PROGRAMMING 2 5

instance, you couldn’t even put an image on a button. To alleviate this situation,
the Swing component set offers replacements for each of the AWT
components. The Swing components support all the capabilities of the original
set and offer a whole lot more besides. As such, you should never need to deal
with any of the basic Abstract Windowing Toolkit component.
The javax.swing package offers classes for java swing API such as
JTextArea, JTextField, JButton, JRadioButton, JMenu, JColorChooser,
JCheckbox,etc.

Java Swing is used to develop Graphical User Applications (GUI),

desktop-based applications. Swing is built solely in Java and built on top of the
AWT (abstract windowing toolkit). Swing has benefits over AWT, including
that:
• Its components are lightweight and more powerful (tables, lists,
color choosers, etc.).
• It's platform-independent vs. AWT's dependence.
• It supports a better look and feel that can plug into anything.
• Here is the class hierarchy for Swing:

Figure 1 - Java Swing Class Hierarchy

from Bryce S. https://study.com/academy/lesson/java-swing-definition-classes-
methods.html

Notice that the Component class is the class that the Swing classes
inherit from. Because of the functions of the object-oriented programming, you
can call methods from the Component class in a JLabel, a JTable, or JFrame.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |COMPUTER PROGRAMMING 2 6

Every components in the java swing such as the JLabel,, JList, JButton,
are from the JComponent class which can be included to the container class.
The containers are the windows that are like the frame and messageboxes or
dialog boxes. The basic swing components are known as the basic building
blocks of any Graphical User Interface (GUI) application.

What is Graphical User Interface (GUI) in Java?

GUI (Graphical User Interface) in Java is a visual experience builder
for developing Java applications. It is mostly made of graphical components
like the windows, labels, buttons etc. through which user can interact with the
application. GUI has an important role to develop an easy interfaces for the
Java applications and different applications.

Installing and Using Eclipse IDE and WindowBuilder plugin

Eclipse is an integrated development environment (IDE) for the Java

programming language as well as other programming languages like C/C++,
Python, PERL, Ruby, etc.

The Eclipse platform, which serves as the basis for the Eclipse IDE, is made up
of plug-ins and may be expanded by adding new plug-ins. The Eclipse platform
was created using Java, and it may be used to create integrated development
environments, rich application programs, and other tools. Every programming
for which a plug-in is available can be used as an IDE with Eclipse.

Requirement for Building a java swing application using the Window

builder:
Install the Eclipse IDE in your device (Laptop/Desktop).

Note : To install the Eclipse IDE, click or copy the following web site
provided below and follow the instructions for installation.
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |COMPUTER PROGRAMMING 2 7

When Eclipse launches for the first time, it asks you where the workspace
folder is located. The workspace folder will house all of your data. Either
accept the default or select a different place.

Parts of the Eclipse IDE :

The main components of an eclipse window that are visible are:

• Views
• Editors (all appear in one editor area)
• Menu Bar
• Toolbar

What is Window Builder Plugin?

A robust and user-friendly bi-directional Java GUI builder is called
WindowBuilder. It is quite simple to construct Java GUI apps with
WindowBuilder, which is made up of SWT Designer and Swing Designer,
without having to spend a lot of time writing code. Create basic forms and
sophisticated windows using the WYSIWYG visual designer; the Java code
will be created for you. Drag-and-drop controls can be added quickly, event
handlers can be added to your controls, the properties of your controls can be
changed using a property editor, your app can be made multinational, and much
more.

Installing the Window Builder plugin In Eclipse IDE

Step 1: Once downloaded, open the Eclipse IDE and make sure all projects are
saved and closed

Step 2: On the Menu bar, select the Help menu, click the "Install new Software"
> “Add” > “Archive” button and locate your downloaded Window Builder

Java Swing Examples

Simple Java Swing Example

A frame can be made in one of two ways:

• By constructing a Frame class object (association)

• By adding to the Frame class (inheritance)
Let's look at a straightforward swing demonstration where we create a single
button and add it to the JFrame object inside the main() function.

1) Run Eclipse IDE. Select File > New > Java Project from the menu.
2) Type the Project Name (SampleJavaProject) and leave the rest as default
values. Click Finish button at the bottom part of the window.
3) A dialog box will appear asking for module creation. In this lesson, we
will not create a module so just click “Don’t Create” button.
4) From the Project Explorer (usually at the left side of the Eclipse
window), right click on your project, in this case, SampleJavaProject >
New > Class.
5) Next step is to enter values for the creation of our Class that will contain
the main() method which serves as an entry point of our program for
execution. From the dialog box, type the name of the class (frameMain)
and put a check in public static void main(String[] args) so that the
main() method of our program will be automatically generated by
Eclipse IDE. Click the Finish button.
6) The Editor Area will automatically display the code for the class we
created (frameMain) with a given code structure for the class with its
default main() method. In the Project Explorer, you will see
frameMain.java, the java file of the class we created, saved under the
SampleJavaProject we previously created.
7) Type the following code and run the program by clicking the Run button
(CTRL+F11) in the Eclipse toolbar and observe what will happen.
8) A frame (window) with a button will appear on user’s screen upon
running the program if and only if the program does not return an error.

JFrame in Java

A window is shown on the screen by a top-level container known as

JFrame. A frame is essentially a foundational window that supports various
elements, such the menu bar, panels, labels, text fields, buttons, etc. Almost all
other Swing apps are launched via the JFrame window.

The user interface is constructed on an object called the frame. Every

application that we create extends the JFrame object, giving it all the properties
of a frame. The creation of Java GUI apps depends on it. Due to the fact that it
"holds" other controls, the frame is a container object. One characteristic of a
container object is that all controls will become invisible if the visible attribute
is set to false.
Frame Properties

title Frame window Title

font Font name, style, size.

background Frame background color.

foreground Color of text or graphics

x Distance from left of screen to left edge of

frame, in pixels.

y Distance from top of screen to top edge of

frame, in pixels.

width Width of frame in pixels.

height Height of frame in pixels.

resizable Boolean value indicating if frame is fixed

size or resizable

visible If false, hides the frame (and all its controls).

How to create a JFrame via Code?

Import the following code on the top of your program:

import javax.swing.JTextFrame;

There are numerous constructors in the JFrame class that are used to
build new JFrames. You can make a JFrame using the following techniques:

CONSTUCTOR DESCRIPTION

JFrame(): By doing this, an invisible frame

can be created.

JFrame(String A frame with a title.

Title):

JFrame(Graphics creates a frame with a blank title

Configuration gc): and the screen's graphic settings

You must now provide the frame’s size and the location after
establishing the JFrame. Let's look at some possible solutions.

Java JFrame Example

1. Run Eclipse IDE. Select File > New > Java Project from the menu.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 7

2. Type the Project Name (FrameExampleProject) and leave the rest as

default values. Click Finish button at the bottom part of the window.
3. From the Project Explorer (usually at the left side of the Eclipse
window), right click on your project, in this case,
FrameExampleProject > New > Other...
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 8

4. Next step is to create our form by selecting JFrame. JFrame works like
the main window where components like panels, textfields, and buttons
are added to create a GUI. After selecting JFrame, click Next button.

5. Type the name of the JFrame. In our example, we set its name to
frameMain. Click Finish button.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 9

6. Click Design to view the JFrame and other components in the Palette.
The Design view is only available if WindowBuilder component is
installed.

Your digital drawing board is the Design View. You may change layout
settings, direct edit labels, add or delete components, and view the overall
development of your design. You may modify a component's properties in
the Property Pane by selecting it in the Design View. Moreover, this will
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 10

make the component's selection handles active. The layout properties of the
chosen control and, for some layout managers, the layout properties of
related controls, may both be changed using selection handles. The
Property Pane offers access to all the properties that may be modified in the
Design View. Row and column headers may be discernible in the header
section, depending on the layout manager in use.

7. Click contentPane in the Components window. Set the value of the

Layout property to Absolute Layout. Absolute layout will allow us to
easily set and manage the location and size of the components to put
inside our frame. Setting the layout of the contentPane (a JPanel
component on top of the JFrame) to Absolute Layout will give us the
code:

Note that when you create a JFrame object, the WindowBuilder will
automatically create a JPanel object and set its name to contentPane by default.
A JPanel is a container that allows the programmer to store component
(buttons, textfields, etc.). A class of the java.swing package that extends the
Java AWT library is the JPanel. It is renowned for being the most
straightforward type of container when developing lightweight window apps.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 11

Labels, buttons, and other panels are among the many components that are
included, and they can be combined. Most importantly, it is depicted as a
window without a title bar or border. As a result, it is essentially the most basic
container, using Flow Layout as the default layout.

In the Structure window, you can see the items which have been added
in the application window. If you click on any item, you can see the properties
of that item in the Properties window. Now if you save your changes and go to
the Source tab you will see that Eclipse has updated the source code to reflect
the changes.
The Component Tree shows the hierarchical relationship between all
of the components in the Design View. Each component in the tree shows is
icon (with potential decorators), its variable name and text label. Components
may be represented as local variables or fields, and variable names must be
unique within the scope in which the component is defined. Icon decorators are
use.
The Property Pane displays properties and events of the selected
components and provides editable text fields, lists and other controls to allow
you to edit properties and events. Select the control in the Component Tree or
on the Design View to display its properties in the Property Pane. Once visible
in the Property Pane, these values can be edited. When multiple controls are
selected, all of their shared properties are listed in the Property Pane. If not all
the selected controls have the same value for a property, the property editor in
the Property Pane will be blank.
8. Now we have created a JFrame that will be the container of our
components for our GUI.
Keep in mind that whenever we change property values of components
which are already in our JFrame, WindowBuilder is responsible for updating
its source code. At the same time, always check what specific component from
the Component Tree is selected (highlighted) whenever you change property
values to avoid confusion.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 12

JButton in Java

The class used to build a button in a JavaSE program is called JButton.

When a user clicks, hovers over, or otherwise interacts with a button, use
JButton to transmit actions to your application.
It is most likely the most popular Java GUI control. It is used to start,
stop, or interrupt a certain process.

How to create a JButton?

Java JButton Example

PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 14

Java JButton Example from the Design View

1. From the previous discussion on how to create a JFrame with its same
settings and code, click the JButton component from the Palette >
Components Category then click inside the contentPane. This will
enable the programmer to add a JButton to the contentPane (JPanel).
Note that when you add a control from the Palette to the contentPane,
the WindowBuilder will automatically provide the corresponding code
to create the added control.

2. While the JButton is selected, observe the hierarchy of components in

the Components Tree. It shows that the JButton’s variable name is
btnNewButton, same as what is displayed in the Properties Pane, and is
inside the contentPane which is a JPanel, that is why the JButton is
indented below the contentPane.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 15

3. Now Let us try to modify some properties of the JButton we created

using the Property Pane. While the JButton is selected (either through
the Components Tree or the Application View), go to the Property Pane
and scroll down to find the text property. Change the value from “New
button” to “Click Me”. Notice that in the Application View, the
JButton’s text is also changed. And by doing so, WindowBuilder
automatically modifies and generate the code for every changes you
made in a given component. The way to see the changes in the code is
to click the Source View Button beside the Design View Button.

4. Run the program by clicking the Run Menu or press CTRL+F11.

PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 16

Your output should be like the above given screenshot. If you notice,
clicking the button does not do anything since we did not capture the click
event from the user. The way we can respond to user actions is through an
ActionListener that listens to user’s actions or events.

Event Handling in Java

The mechanism known as "event handling" determines how an event will

proceed and what actions should be taken in its wake. For example, click on
button, dragging mouse etc.

Source - An item where the event takes place is its source. The source
must tell the event's handler of what happened, according to the source.
Listener - Event handler is another name for it. It is the listener's
responsibility to respond to an occurrence. The listener is an object from
the perspective of Java implementation. The listener watches for an
event before responding. When the event has been received, the listener
processes it before returning.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 17

Java Event Classes and Listener Interfaces

In order to perform Event Handling, you need to register the component with
the listener.

Java Event handling by an Anonymous Class

WindowBuilder allows programmers to easily generate code for

attaching ActionListener to listen to components’ events. Considering the
example project (ButtonExampleProject), let us modify the code so that upon
clicking the button, a DialogBox will appear using the JOptionPane Class.
Remember that this example will not discuss more about JOptionPane Class we
will have a separate discussion for this topic.

1. To add an ActionListener in the JButton (btnNewButton), go to the

Design View, select btnNewButton, either through the Components
Tree or the Application View, Right click on the button, select Add
event handler > action > actionPerformed
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 18

2. By doing so, WindowBuilder will generate a code for an Anonymous

Class under the JButton definition. Notice that in the generated code,
there is a method actionPerformed. This will be the place for us to
attach some valid Java code to respond to user’s action which is respond
to the Click Event.

3. We will try to respond to user’s action by showing a DialogBox with a

custom message using a JOptionPane Class. In our example, the
showMessageDialog() method of the JOptionPane Class accepts 2
parameters, the first one will be the parentComponent which is the
contentPane (JPanel) as the reference of the DialogBox for it to appear,
the second is the message which accepts a valid String (enclosed in
double quotes). Remember that any valid Java Statement you will put
inside the actionPerformed() method will always execute every time the
user clicks the JButton.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 19

4. Run the program using the Run Menu or by pressing CTRL+F11. The
output should be like this when you clicked the JButton.

JLabel in Java
The JLabel, which is the most basic true Swing component, is the first
to be carefully examined. The JLabel can perform a lot more tasks than the
AWT Label, which it replaces.

Text that cannot be edited directly by the user is shown using a JLabel.
A JLabel's text can be altered in reaction to events.

JLabel Methods

How to create a JLabel?

Import the following code on the top of your program:
import javax.swing.JLabel;

JLabel Example with ActionListener

The idea behind this example to display the contents of two JLabels,
lblName for displaying “JUAN DELA CRUZ” and lblCourse for displaying
“BS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY”. We need to use a JLabel method
named setText() which accepts a String as a parameter that sets the text to be
displayed in the JLabel. We will add a JButton that will capture the Click Event
of the user and we will put the code for setting the text of the JLabels inside the
JButton’s actioPerformed() method.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 21

JTextField in Java

A JTextField is used to show a single line of data that is either initialized

at frame creation, input by the user at runtime, or assigned by code. Text that is
being shown can be changed.

Constructors

JTextField() A constructor that generates a new

TextField

JTextField(String text) A constructor that generates a

blank text field with the given
string as its first value.

JTextField(int columns) A constructor that generates a

blank text field with the specified
columns

JTextField(String text, int A constructor that generates a

columns) blank text field with the provided
string and specified columns.

Methods

setColumns(int n) It sets the number of the columns

of the text field.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 22

setFont(Font f) It sets the font of text displayed in

the text field.

addActionListener(ActionListener It sets an ActionListener to the text

l) field.

int getColumns() It gets the number of the columns

in the textfield.

How to create a JTextField?

Import the following code on the top of your program:
import javax.swing.JTextField;

Java JTextField Example 1

The idea behind this example is to allow the user to type values for first
name and last name in the JTextFields. After entering values, the combined
values of the text entered by the user will be displayed in a JLabel following
Last Name, First Name Format upon clicking the JButton. Additionally, since
we need to capture the user’s Click Event, we will use an ActionListener for
the JButton.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 23

The above code for the JButton’s actionPerformed() method has the following
logic:

1) Get the text entered by the user from txtFirstName using the JTextField
method named getText() which returns a String (the text entered by the
user) and store temporarily in a String variable named firstName.

2) Get the text entered by the user from txtLastName using the JTextField
method named getText() which returns a String (the text entered by the
user) and store temporarily in a String variable named lastName.
3) Combine the contents of String variables lastName and firstName using +
operator to join the Strings with a “, “ in between to produce the
LastName, FirstName format and store temporarily in a String variable
named fullName.

4) Display the content of the String variable fullName in lblFullName using the
JLabel’s setText() method which accepts a String value as a parameter.

SUMMARY

Java Swing is used to develop Graphical User Applications (GUI), desktop-

based applications. Swing is built solely in Java and built on top of the AWT
(abstract windowing toolkit).

GUI (Graphical User Interface) in Java is a visual experience builder for

developing Java applications. It is mostly made of graphical components like
the windows, labels, buttons etc. through which user can interact with the
application. GUI has an important role to develop an easy interfaces for the
Java applications and different applications.

JTextArea in Java

JTextField's text field control can only show a single line of text. The
JTextArea is a similar control that supports several lines of text (in a single
font). This control, like the JTextField, can be used to show data that has been
initialized when the frame is built, input by a user during run-time, or assigned
by code. The text that displays can be modified.

JTextArea() It makes a new text box that is

empty.
JTextArea(String s) It generates a new text area with
the specified initial text.
JTextArea(int row, int column) It generates a new text area with
the specified number of rows and
columns is created.
JTextArea(String s, int row, int column) It generates a new text area with
the specified number of rows, and
columns, and initial text.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 5

How to create a JTextArea?

Import the following code on the top of your program:

import javax.swing.JTextArea;

Java JTextArea Example 1

PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 6

In the given example, notice that the JTextArea component was not able to
provide vertical and horizontal scrolling by default which makes the text as
highlighted below appears to be cut.

To solve the problem, we need to use a container component that will provide
the automatic vertical and horizontal scrolling within the JTextArea that will
be explained by the next example.

Java JTextArea Example 2

This example shows how to use a JTextArea component in a Swing Application

which allows a user to enter multiple lines of text with automatic vertical and
horizontal scrolling using a JScrollPane Component. Since JScrollPane is a
Container Component like JPanel, we need to first put a JScrollPane
Component in our previous example and put the JTextArea component inside
the JScrollPane specifically, in the Viewport region of the JScrollPane.

1) Select the JScrollPane Component from the Containers Category of

the Swing Designer’s Pallete.

2) Drag and release the JScrollPane Component inside the application’s

frame following the setBounds property values given in the
specification window. Since we will not programmatically modify the
JScrollPane component, it is not required to change the variable
property of the JSrollPane. We can leave the JScrollPane’s properties
to default values.

3) After placing the JScrollPane component inside the applications, frame,

you should see something like this:
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 7

The scrollPane (JScrollPane) as shown in the Components Tree should be

inside the contentPane (JPanel).

4) Now select JTextArea from the Components Category of the Swing

Designer’s Pallete and place it inside (ViewPort Region) of the
JScrollPane we created.

5) Placing the JTextArea Component inside the Viewport Region of the

JScrollPane will automatically provide vertical and horizontal scrolling
for the JTextArea. Run the program and observe what happens.

Java JTextArea Example 3

PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 8

This example demonstrates the use of a JTextArea method names void

append(String S) which is used to append the text within the method’s
parameter to the end of the JTextArea’s content. In order to not allow the user
to enter text directly to the JTextArea we will change the value of its enabled
property through the properties window to false (true by default). We will just
use a JTextField and a JButton for entering text in the JTextArea.

At the same time, in the sample execution, the first word entered in txtHobby
(JTextField) is the word “Read”. Clicking the ADD button appends the text
from the txtHobby (JTextField) to txtAHobbies.(JTextArea). This is through
adding an ActionListener in the JButton since we need to capture the user’s
click event and then adding the code for appending the text in the txtAHobbies.

We have a small issue from the given example. That is, every time we will
append a new text in txtAHobbies (JTextArea), the text will just appear at the
end of the text existing in txtAHobbies. What if we want to always append a
new text beginning with a new line to make it more presentable? The answer
 PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 9

is to add a “\n” or a new line character at the end of the text entered in txtHobby
(JTextField).

JPasswordField in Java
A text component designed just for entering passwords is the object of
a JPasswordField class. One line of text may be edited with it. It comes from
the class JTextField.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 10

JPasswordField() A new JPasswordField is created with a

default document, a blank beginning text
string, and a column width of 0.

JPasswordField(int It constructs a brand-new JPasswordField

columns) that is blank and has the number of
columns.

JPasswordField(String It starts a new JPasswordField with the

text) given coded text.

JPasswordField(String text, It constructs a new JPasswordField and

int columns) initialized with the provided text and
columns.

Methods of JPasswordField

char getEchoChar() The character used for echoing in

JPasswordField is returned.
setEchoChar(char c) It configures JPasswordField's echo
character.
String getPassword() It returns the text from
JPasswordField.
String getText() This function gives the
JPasswordField's password as a
string that was input. With Java 2
platform v1.2, the getPassword()
method has taken its position as the
deprecated alternative to this
method.

How to create a JPasswordField?

JOptionPane in Java
A class called JOptionPane is used to create dialog boxes. JOptionPane
is a component of Java Swing, which is used to develop applications using
windows. JOptionPane is a Java Swing component that focused only on dialog
boxes. Any sort of dialog box may be used, including input, message, and
 PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 13

confirm dialog boxes. These dialog windows can be used to provide the user
information or to ask for input.

JOptionPane() It creates a JOptionPane object with

a pre-written default text message.
JOptionPane(Object message, int messageType)
It creates a JOptionPane object that
e(Object message, int messageType) will show a message with the
provided message type and user
interface-delivered default choices.
JOptionPane(Obj message) It creates a JOptionPane object that
will show a message using the User
Interface's default choices and the
plain-message message type.
JOptionPane(Object message, int It creates a JOptionPane object that
messageType, int option type) displays a message with the supplied
message type and options.
It displays a message together with
the icon, message type, and option
type that have been set.

Methods
showInputDialog It requests input from the user.

showMessageDialog The user sees a dialog window with

a message in it.
show confirm dialog A confirmation question, such as
yes/no/cancel, is asked to the user.
showOptionDialog It consists of the three things
mentioned above.

How to create a JOptionPane?

SUMMARY

Just one line of text may be displayed in the text field control of JTextField. A
comparable control that accommodates many lines of text is the JTextArea (in
a single font). You can change the wording that appears on screen.

The object of a JPasswordField class is a text field intended just for password
entry. It allows for editing of one line of text. It is derived from the JTextField
class.

It makes it easier to create dialog boxes because JOptionPane is a component

of Java Swing. It offers common dialog boxes including the message dialog
box, input dialog box, and confirm dialog box.

JCheckbox in Java

The JCheckBox class in JAVA may be used as a toggle to switch off or

on any feature. This class essentially produced a checkbox with two options:
on and off.
JCheckBox has two options: chosen and deselected. It informs the user
of its status. JCheckBox is a checkbox implementation. JCheckBox inherits the
class of JToggleButton.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 5

Methods

addActionListener(ItemListener l): adds item listener to the component

itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) abstract function executed when the
state of the object to which listener is
assigned changes
getItem() : Gives the component-specific object
connected to the item whose status
changed back.
getStateChange() : returns the item's new state.
SELECTED and DESELECTED are
the two states that the ItemEvent
class defines.
getSource() : returns the element from which the
item event was fired.

How to create a JCheckbox?

Import the following code on the top of your program:

import javax.swing.JCheckbox;
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 6

Example 1
This example shows how to use a JCheckBox component in a Swing
Application which allows a user to check or uncheck the JCheckBoxes

In the given example, notice that the even without the code for the click
event in the JCheckBoxes, the program was able to show the appearance of
checking and unchecking the JCheckBoxes. Event Listener is not needed by
default if you want to show the process of toggling the JCheckBoxes

Example 2

This example shows how to use a JCheckBox component in a Swing

Application which allows a user to check or uncheck the JCheckBoxes.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 7

ItemListeners are added in two JCheckBoxes to listen to item events for us to

get the state (1 = checked, 2 = unchecked) of the JCheckBoxes whenever the
user clicks the JCheckBoxes. We added a JLabel component named “lblResult”
to display the status of the JCheckBoxes.

By adding an ItemListener in each JCheckBoxes, we are able to get

their state as what is defined inside the default itemStateChanged(ItemEvent
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 8

e) method. The “e” from the method parameter allows us to access the
getStateChange() method of the ItemEvent Class which returns 1 if the status
of the JCheckBox is checked, 2 if unchecked. By using a ternary operator (?),
we are able to conditionally check the value returned by the getStateChange()
method and return the Strings “Checked” and “Uncheked” in one single line
including the lblResult.setText() method.

Example 3

This example shows how to use multiple JCheckBox components in a

Swing Application which allows a user to check or uncheck the JCheckBoxes.
The idea is to show in a Message Dialog all selected checkboxes upon clicking
the SHOW Button.

JRadioButton in Java

A radio button is made using the JRadioButton class. It is employed to

select one alternative from a variety of possibilities. It is frequently utilized in
test or quiz systems.

Typically, a set of radio buttons is made to provide the user alternatives,

but only one option may be chosen at once.

JRadioButton() creates a radio button with no text.

JRadioButton(String s) creates a radio button with the

provided text

JRadioButton(String s, boolean selected) Creates a radio button with the

provided text and selected state.

Methods

void setText(String s) It is used to set specified text on button.

String getText() It is used to return the text of the button.

void setEnabled(boolean b) It is used to enable or disable the button.

void setIcon(Icon b) It is used to set the specified Icon on the button.

Icon getIcon() It is used to get the Icon of the button.

void setMnemonic(int a) It is used to set the mnemonic on the button.

void It is used to add the action listener to this object.

addActionListener(ActionListener

How to create a JRadioButton?

Import the following code on the top of your program:

import javax.swing.JRadioButton;
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 11

Example

This example shows how to use a JRadioButton component in a Swing Application which allows
a user to select or unselect the JRadioButtons. A ButtonGroup class is used so that only one single
radio button can be selected at a time and this is the difference of JRadioButton from JCheckBox
components. If in case you will need to create more than one radio button group for selection, lets
us say, one button group for the SEX selection, another for CIVIL STATUS selection, then two
separate ButtonGroup objects will needed.
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |YOUR COURSE TITLE HERE 12

Make sure that the javax.swing.ButtonGroup is imported on top of the code to avoid errors in
creating a new ButtonGroup object.

WHAT IS JComboBox?

JComboBox is one of the advanced component GUI controls available

in Swing API. You can create combo boxes in Java and this displays a popup
menu which allows the user to select a value from a drop-down list and a text
field. If the text-field section of the control is editable, the user can update a
value that was taken from the drop-down list or put a new value in the field.

If you make the combo box editable, then the combo box includes an
editable field into which the user can type a value depending on the choice of
the programmer.

Note: Every declaration in our JComboBox, we defined Object as the type of

data to be used by the items defined inside the cboCountries which means that
the items are all considered Object Types.

This example shows how to use a JComboBox component in a Swing

Application which allows a user to select among the list of items available in
the JComboBox. This time, we will use the constructor of the JComboBox
which accepts an array of objects as its parameter. In our case, we will define
an Array of Strings for the list of countries as the parameter of the
JComboBox(Object[] items) constructor. The output of the program code given
will be the same as with Example 1.

Java JComboBox Program Code:

Note: This example simplifies the way on how to put items inside the
JComboBox. We first define an Array of Strings named countries that
will hold the items for {“USA”, “PH”, “AUS”, “CAN”, “IND”}. By
doing this, we can easily identify each item through index values
(starting from 0). And by simply adding the Array of Strings to the
constructor of the JComboBox, it will be automatically available for
selection upon running the program.

Java JComboBox Example 3: 10

This example shows how to use some JComboBox

component methods to retrieve the index of the item (starts with 0)
and the item itself being selected by the user to be displayed in a
MessageDialog upon clicking a SHOW button.

Sample output upon clicking the JComboBox:

cboCountries

First MessageDialog to be displayed shows the

currently selected item.

Second MessageDialog to be displayed shows the

index number of the item currently selected. In this
example, 2 is the index number shown since AUS is
the 3rd item in the Array of Strings (refer to the
code).

Third MessageDialog to be displayed shows the

item currently selected using the getItemAt(index)
method used to retrieve an item in the list by
specifying a valid index number.

Note: You can also change the previous code for identifying the 10
currently selected item by using the getSelectedIndex() method
instead of using the getSelectedItem() method. The use of the
getSelectedIndex() method is much safer because he condition will
be based on the index number of the currently selected item therefore
eliminating the comparison of Strings in the if condition. Consider
the updated code below:

Note: The setSelectedIndex() method is used to set the

currently selected item based on a valid index. By default, without
setting the index, 0 is the selected index which sets the first item in
the list as the default item shown in the JComboBox. Try to change
the selected index to -1.

Then the output will be,

By setting the selected index to -1, no item will be displayed in the

JComboBox by default.

WHAT IS JList?

A component of the class JList shows a list of objects and

allows the user to select one or more of them. The list's contents are
maintained by a different model called ListModel.

JList class declaration

This is the declaration for javax.swing.JList class .

The following are the commonly used constructors of the JList:

JList Examples

Java JList Example 1:

This example shows how to use a JList component in a Swing

Application which allows a user to select among the list of items
available in the JList. In this example, item selection is single
selection so that users are not allowed to select multiple items at the
same time. Additionally, selecting an item will not trigger any
command in the program it will just show the highlighted item as the
currently selected item from the list. Adding of items is done through
the program code, one line of code per item using a ListModel that
will maintain the contents of the JList. Unlike the JComboBox Class,
JList Class does not have built-in methods to directly add items in the
list. Instead, we need to use a DefaultListModel Object that will
serve as data storage reference of our JList. In order to use the
DefaultListModel in the program, you need to import its
corresponding class library at the top of your code as shown below:

import javax.swing.DefaultListModel;

Java JList Program Code:

Note: Add the given lines of code to provide functionality for the

the ListModel used to retrieve an element in the model using a valid
index position. Since in this example we need to retrieve the currently
selected (highlighted) item from the JList, we get the index of the
currently selected item in the JList using the getSelectedIndex()
method which returns the valid index of the currently selected item
PAMANTASAN NG CABUYAO |COMPUTER PROGRAMMING 2

in the JList (returns 2 since “Orange” is the the 3rd position within 10
the list).

Java JList Example 3:

This example demonstrates how to dynamically add new

items in the JList using an addElement() method of the ListModel. A
TextField will be used to accept input from the user and every time
the user inputs new item, the JLabel for displaying the number of
items in the ListModel will also be updated. And to allow horizontal
and vertical scrolling, we will add a JScrollPane as the container
element of the JList added through the JScrollPane’s ViewPort.

WHAT IS JScrollBar?

A horizontal and vertical scrollbar can be made with JScrollBar. A

component like JPanel or a top-level container like JFrame can both accept the
addition of a JScrollBar and it is a compact component that extends the
JComponent class.

We are only given a non-functional scrollbar that does not

automatically scroll across the display when we create an object of type
JScrollBar.

JScrollBar class declaration

This is the declaration for javax.swing.JScrollBar class.

The following are the commonly used constructors of the JScrollBar:

JScrollBar Examples

Java JScrollBar Example 1:

This example shows how to use a JScrollBar component in a Swing

Application which allows a user to increase or decrease the values of both
horizontal and vertical scrollbar. An addAdjustmentListener() is used to listen
to user actions every time the user adjusts the scrollbars. By using an
adjustmentValueChanged() of the addAdjustmentListener(), we will be able to
show in two separate JLabels the values of the scrollbars.

WHAT IS JTable?

The JTable is used to display and edit regular two-dimensional tables

of cells. The JTable has many facilities that make it possible to customize its
rendering and editing but provides defaults for these features so that simple
tables can be set up easily.

The JTable class is a part of Java Swing Package and is generally used
to display or edit two-dimensional data that is having both rows and columns.
It is similar to a spreadsheet. This arranges data in a tabular form.

The JTable class is used to display data in tabular form. It is composed

of rows and columns.

Java JTable Example 1:

The example shows how to use a JTable component in a Swing

Application which displays a 6 x 4 table (6 rows and 4 columns) containing
data for columns such as ID, LAST NAME, FIRST NAME and COURSE. The
use of the constructor of the JTable which accepts a two-dimensional array for
the rows that will represent the data, and a one-dimensional array for the
columns that will represent the column names is used in this example. At the
same time, a JScrollPane will be used to provide vertical and horizontal scroll
functionality to the table as well as to make the column headers appear at the
top of the table. Additionally, the number of rows in the table is displayed in a
JLabel below the table.

WHAT IS JScrollPane?

A JscrollPane is used to make scrollable view of a component. When

screen size is limited, we use a scroll pane to display a large component or a
component whose size can change dynamically.

The following are the commonly used constructors of the JScrollPane:

SUMMARY

The JTable is used to display and edit regular two-dimensional tables of cells.
The JTable has many facilities that make it possible to customize its rendering
and editing but provides defaults for these features so that simple tables can
be set up easily.

A JScrollPane manages a viewport, optional vertical and horizontal scroll

bars, and optional row and column heading viewports. You can find task-
oriented documentation of JScrollPane in How to Use Scroll Panes, a section
in The Java Tutorial. Note that JScrollPane does not support heavyweight
components.

WHAT IS Java JMenuBar, JMenu and JMenuItem?

The JMenuBar class is used to display menubar on the window or

frame. It may have several menus.

The object of JMenu class is a pull-down menu component which is

displayed from the menu bar. It inherits the JMenuItem class.

The object of JMenuItem class adds a simple labeled menu item. The
items used in a menu must belong to the JMenuItem or any of its subclass.

This is the JMenuBar class declaration:

Note: Notice that in the given example, the JMenuBar object served as a 10
container for the JMenu for Account then the JMenu Account served as the
menu to be clicked so that the drop down of JMenuItem objects for Log In, Log
Out and Exit will appear an be available as choices for the user to select. A
JSeparator object is included to demonstrate its use which is to separate
JMenuItem objects within a JMenu. Additionally, the frameMain is loaded as
a maximized window.

Java JMenuBar, JMenu and JMenuItem Object Example 2:

This example shows how to make a simple Swing Application with a

JMenuBar, JMenu and a JMenuItem object. A separate JFrame for Log In
interface is included and will only appear once the user clicks the JMenuItem
for Log In. Additionally, JMenuItem for Log Out is disabled by default so that
a user can only select among Log In or Exit JMenuItem once the frameMain is
loaded. After successful Log in (by entering “admin” as default username and
password), the JMenuItem for Log In will be disabled, while the JMenuItem
for Log Out will be enabled and vice-versa. The use of public static for
JMenuItem objects is required to make it accessible in other forms specifically,
inside the frameLogIn so that we can change the value for their enabled
properties inside the frameLogin. A confirmation will be asked when the user
selects the JMenuItem for Exit as well as when the user clicks the default
CLOSE Button of the frameMain.

creating a simple splash screen of your Java Swing Application. Two frames
are needed in order to make a splash screen. The frameMain class will execute
the application by first creating and showing the frameSplashScreen object on
user’s screen. After loading the JProgressBar from 0 to 100 percent, the
frameMain object will be shown on user’s screen while disposing the
frameSplashScreen object. Additionally, a GIF loading image is set as an icon

?
A single line input field serves as the object of the JSpinner class and
enables the user to choose a number or object value from an ordered list. This
object can be type manually in a legal data going into text field of the class.
The JSpinner is ideal object because it does not need a drop-down list
and has an element of an upward and a downward arrow.

WHAT IS JDialog?

When using JDialog(), a modeless dialog without a title or a defined

Frame owner is created. The primary goal of this class is to expand it with new
elements and can be altered to suit user requirements. This is in contrast to
JFrame in which it does not have the maximize and minimize buttons.

This is the JDialog class declaration

This is the JDialog Commonly used Constructors

Java JDialog Example 1:

This example shows how use and implement a Custom JDialog Class
by inheriting the JDialog Class. A frameMain Class object (inherits the JFrame
Class) is used as the main window with a JButton object that will open the
object of the Custom Dialog Class to be created. The Custom JDialog object
will be set as a MODAL of the frameMain Class object so that the user will not
be allowed to interact with the main window except when the user already
closes the Custom JDialog object.

WHAT IS JToggleButton?

To describe buttons that can be toggled ON and OFF, you can use a
JToggleButton, which is an extension of AbstractButton. The toggle button
toggles between being pressed and being unpressed when the user presses it.

This is the JToggleButton Nested Classes

JToggleButton Examples

Java JToggleButton Example 1:

This example shows how use and implement a JToggleButton object

that will change the text displayed to “ON” when selected, “OFF” if not
selected. “OFF” is the text displayed by default which means by running the
program, the JToggleButton object is not selected. An Item Listener is used to
determine the current state of the JToggleButton.

Sample output upon loading FRAME MAIN, the JToggleButton is not selected, that
is why “OFF” is the text displayed:

SUMMARY 10

A horizontal progress bar with the supplied minimum and maximum value is
created using JProgressBar.
A component of the class JSpinner allows the user to choose a number or
object value from an ordered sequence via an input field.
JSlider is used to allow the user to visually select a value by turning a knob
within a defined range.
To show tree-structured or hierarchical data, you can use the JTree class.
By simply clicking on one of the tabs, JTabbedPane gives the user the freedom
to navigate between various groupings of components he wants to see.
In order to create a window-based application, this serves as a top-level
container on which various lightweight JAVA swing components can be
added.
Toggle buttons, which may be turned on or off, are made using the
JToggleButton class.
