    1. Java Swing provides GUI components that extend the Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT). It includes prebuilt components, standard dialog boxes, and improved look-and-feel capabilities. 2. Building a GUI with Swing components involves creating the components, configuring their properties, adding them to containers in a hierarchy, and adding event listeners. 3. Layout managers automatically position and resize components within containers. Common layouts include FlowLayout, GridLayout, BorderLayout, and CardLayout.

    Java Swing

    AWT to Swing
    AWT: Abstract Windowing Toolkit
    import java.awt.*

    Swing: new with Java2


    import javax.swing.* Extends AWT Tons o new improved components Standard dialog boxes, tooltips, Look-and-feel, skins Event listeners

    API:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/index.html

    Swing Set Demo


    J2sdk/demo/jfc/SwingSet2

    Many predefined GUI components

    GUI Component API


    Java: GUI component = class Properties

    Methods

    JButton

    Events

    Using a GUI Component


    1. Create it

    Instantiate object: b = new JButton(press me);


    Properties: b.text = press me; Methods: b.setText(press me); panel.add(b); [avoided in java]

    2. Configure it

    3. Add it

    4. Listen to it
    Events: Listeners

    JButton

    Anatomy of an Application GUI


    GUI Internal structure

    JFrame JPanel

    JFrame
    containers

    JPanel
    JButton

    JButton
    JLabel

    JLabel

    Using a GUI Component 2


    1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Create it Configure it Add children (if container) Add to parent (if not JFrame) Listen to it

    order important

    Build from bottom up


    Create:
    Frame Panel Components Listeners
    JLabel Listener

    JButton

    Add: (bottom up)


    listeners into components components into panel panel into frame

    JPanel

    JFrame

    Code
    JFrame f = new JFrame(title); JPanel p = new JPanel( ); JButton b = new JButton(press me); p.add(b); f.setContentPane(p); f.show(); press me // add button to panel // add panel to frame

    Application Code
    import javax.swing.*;

    class hello { public static void main(String[] args){ JFrame f = new JFrame(title); JPanel p = new JPanel(); JButton b = new JButton(press me);
    p.add(b); f.setContentPane(p); f.show(); // add button to panel // add panel to frame

    }
    }

    press me

    Layout Managers
    Automatically control placement of components in a panel Why?

    Layout Manager Heuristics


    null none, programmer sets x,y,w,h FlowLayout GridLayout

    Left to right, Top to bottom

    BorderLayout n w c s e

    CardLayout

    GridBagLayout

    One at a time

    JButton

    Combinations
    JButton JButton

    JTextArea

    Combinations
    JButton JFrame n JPanel: FlowLayout JButton

    JPanel: BorderLayout

    c JTextArea

    Code: null layout


    JFrame f = new JFrame(title); JPanel p = new JPanel( ); JButton b = new JButton(press me); b.setBounds(new Rectangle(10,10, 100,50)); p.setLayout(null); // x,y layout p.add(b); f.setContentPane(p); press me

    Code: FlowLayout
    JFrame f = JPanel p = FlowLayout JButton b1 JButton b2 new JFrame(title); new JPanel( ); L = new FlowLayout( ); = new JButton(press me); = new JButton(then me);

    p.setLayout(L); p.add(b1); p.add(b2); f.setContentPane(p); Set layout mgr before adding components

    press me then me

    Applets
    JApplet is like a JFrame Already has a panel
    Access panel with JApplet.getContentPane( )

    JApplet

    contentPane

    import javax.swing.*; JButton class hello extends JApplet { public void init(){ JButton b = new JButton(press me); getContentPane().add(b); } }

    Applet Methods
    Called by browser: init( ) - initialization start( ) - resume processing (e.g. animations) stop( ) - pause destroy( ) - cleanup paint( ) - redraw stuff (expose event)

    Application + Applet
    import javax.swing.*; class helloApp { public static void main(String[] args){ // create Frame and put my mainPanel in it JFrame f = new JFrame(title); mainPanel p = new mainPanel(); f.setContentPane(p); f.show(); } } class helloApplet extends JApplet { public void init(){ // put my mainPanel in the Applet mainPanel p = new mainPanel(); getContentPane().add(p); } } // my main GUI is in here: class mainPanel extends JPanel { mainPanel(){ setLayout(new FlowLayout()); JButton b = new JButton(press me); add(b); } }

    Command line

    Browser

    JFrame

    or

    JApplet

    JPanel
    JButton
