Sum of a Number using Swing

In this section, you will learn how to sum of a number using swing. JTextField, JButton
is a component of GUI.

Brief description of the Component used in this application :

1. JFrame is used to  creating  java standalone application, you must provide GUI for a
user. The most common way of creating a frame is, 
using single argument constructor of the JFrame class. The argument of the constructor
is the title of the window or frame.

           JFrame f = new JFrame("Calculate");

2. JTextField is a lightweight component that allows the editing of a single line of text.
JTextField has a method to establish the string 
used as the command string for the action event that gets fired. The java.awt.TextField
used the text of the field as the command string 
or the ActionEvent. JTextField will use the command string set with the
setActionCommand method if not null, otherwise it will use the
 text of the field as a compatibility with java.awt.TextField. 

     final JTextField  text1 = new JTextField(20);
   final JTextField text2 = new JTextField(20);

3. JButton with a String as a label, and then drop it in a window. Events are normally
handled just as with a Button: you attach an 
ActionListener via the addActionListener method. 

    JButton button = new JButton("Calculate");

Step: Create a file "Calculate.java" to sum of a number using Swing.

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Calculate extends JTextField {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame f = new JFrame("Calculate");
    f.getContentPane().setLayout(new BoxLayout(f.getContentPane(), 
    BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));

    final JTextField  text1 = new JTextField(20);
  

    final JTextField text2 = new JTextField(20);

    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    JButton button = new JButton("Calculate");
    panel.add(button);
    f.getContentPane().add(text1);
    f.getContentPane().add(panel);
    f.getContentPane().add(text2);
    
  ActionListener l = new ActionListener() {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
        System.out.println("Action event from a text field");
      }
    };
    text1.addActionListener(l);
  text2.addActionListener(l);
  button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
  int a=Integer.parseInt(text1.getText()); 
  int sum = 0;
  int count=1;
  while(count<=a)
  {
    sum+=count;
    count++;
  }
    text2.setText(String.valueOf(sum));
  }
    });
    f.pack();
    f.setVisible(true);
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
  }
}

Login Form in Swing

This section illustrates you how to create a Login form.

To create a Login Form, we have used two class files:

1) NextPage.java
2) LoginDemo.java

In the LoginDemo.java, we have create two text fields text1 and text2 to set the text for
username and password. A button is created to perform an action. The method
text1.getText() get the text of username and the method  text2.getText() get the text of
password which the user enters. Then we have create a condition that if the value of text1
and text2 is roseindia, the user will enter into the next page on clicking the submit button.
The NextPage.java is created to move the user to the next page. In case if the user enters
the invalid username and password , the class JOptionPane provides the MessageDialog
to shows the error message.

Here is the code of NextPage.java

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
 
class NextPage extends JFrame
{
  NextPage()
   {
     setDefaultCloseOperation(jav
ax.swing.
         
WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE)
;
     setTitle("Welcome");
       setSize(400, 200);
      }
 }

Here is the code of LoginDemo.java

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
 
class Login extends JFrame implements ActionListene
r
{
 JButton SUBMIT;
 JPanel panel;
 JLabel label1,label2;
 final JTextField  text1,text2;
  Login()
  {
    label1 = new JLabel();

Page 3 of 8
LIAT,Rajagiriy Swing Examples

    label1.setText("Username:");
    text1 = new JTextField(15);

    label2 = new JLabel();
    label2.setText("Password:");
      text2 = new JPasswordField(15);
 
    SUBMIT=new JButton("SUBMIT");
    
    panel=new JPanel(new GridLayout(3,1));
    panel.add(label1);
    panel.add(text1);
    panel.add(label2);
    panel.add(text2);
    panel.add(SUBMIT);
    add(panel,BorderLayout.CENTER);
    SUBMIT.addActionListener(this);
    setTitle("LOGIN FORM");
  }
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
  {
    String value1=text1.getText();
    String value2=text2.getText();
        if (value1.equals("roseindia") && value2.eq
uals("roseindia")) {
    NextPage page=new NextPage();
    page.setVisible(true);
    JLabel label = new JLabel("Welcome:"+value1);
        page.getContentPane().add(label);
  }
    else{
      System.out.println("enter the valid username 
and password");
      JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"Incorrect 
login or password",
            "Error",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
  }
}
}
 class LoginDemo
{
  public static void main(String arg[])
  {
    try
    {
    Login frame=new Login();
    frame.setSize(300,100);
    frame.setVisible(true);
    }
  catch(Exception e)
    {JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e.getMessa
ge());}
  }

Chess Application In Java Swing

In this section, you will learn how to create chess game in java swing.

In the given example, we have defined MouseListener, MouseMotionListener perform

two actions. This chess simulator will help you to master your chess playing skills, to
train your intellectual capacity and give you lots of entertainment.  Mouse events notify
when the user uses the mouse to interact with a component. Mouse events occur when the
cursor enters or exits a component's on screen area and when the user presses or releases
one of the mouse buttons.

Here is the Code.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;

eMotionListener {
