GUI Labels and Buttons

[Peter Shipway]

Hey yo,

Aparently I have been doing text-based java for a bit too long and im rusty on the GUI side, im making a really simple archery game with the target on the top of the window and the shots, score and restart button on the bottom. I have the target done fine but I just cant remeber how to atucally add labels and buttons :S. Below is my code so far:

  
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
 
public class Archey extends JFrame{
    JButton restart;
    JLabel label1, label2, shotsLabel, scoreLabel;
    JPanel panel;
    int score = 0;
    int shots = 0;
    
    public static void main(String[] args){
        Archey app = new Archey();
        app.setSize(310,500);
        app.setTitle("Archery, v.1.0");
        app.setVisible(true);
        app.addWindowListener(
            new WindowAdapter() {
                public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                    System.exit(0);
                }
            }
        );
        app.paintTarget();
    }
 
    public void paintTarget(){
        Container pane = getContentPane();
        pane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        pane.validate();
        Graphics g = getGraphics();
        g.setColor(Color.white);
        g.fillRect(5,30,300,300);
        g.setColor(Color.black);
        g.drawRect(5,30,300,300);
        g.setColor(Color.gray);
        g.fillOval(150-60,150-60,60*2,60*2);
        g.setColor(Color.green);
        g.fillOval(150-40,150-40,40*2,40*2);
        g.setColor(Color.red);
        g.fillOval(150-20,150-20,20*2,20*2);
    }
 
    public void setPanel(){
        label1     = new JLabel("Shots:");
        label2     = new JLabel("Score: ");
        shotsLabel = new JLabel(new Integer(shots).toString());
        scoreLabel = new JLabel(new Integer(score).toString());
        restart    = new JButton("Restart");
        restart.addActionListener(
            new ActionListener () {
                public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e) {
                    shots = 0;
                    score = 0;
                }
            }
        );
    
    }
}

I feel like a complete idiot because I just cant remember what to do, i know it has something to do with creating a panel but other than that im lost, any help would be greatly apreciated.

Hey yo,

Thanks for that, I have another problem now however How do i add the Content pane to the atucal window? As i dont think its possible to add the shapes to a content pane (or not the way im doing it) here is my new code:

  
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
public class Archey extends JFrame{
    JButton restart;
    JLabel label1, label2, shotsLabel, scoreLabel;
    JPanel panel;
    int score = 0;
    int shots = 0;
    
    public static void main(String[] args){
        Archey app = new Archey();
        app.setSize(310,500);
        app.setTitle("Archery, v.1.0");
        app.setVisible(true);
        app.addWindowListener(
            new WindowAdapter() {
                public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                    System.exit(0);
                }
            }
        );
        app.paintTarget();
    }
 

    public void paintTarget(){
        Graphics g = getGraphics();
        g.setColor(Color.white);
        g.fillRect(5,30,300,300);
        g.setColor(Color.black);
        g.drawRect(5,30,300,300);
        g.setColor(Color.gray);
        g.fillOval(150-60,150-60,60*2,60*2);
        g.setColor(Color.green);
        g.fillOval(150-40,150-40,40*2,40*2);
        g.setColor(Color.red);
        g.fillOval(150-20,150-20,20*2,20*2);
    }
 
    public void info(){
        Container pane = getContentPane();
        pane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        pane.add(label1     = new JLabel("Shots:"));
        pane.add(label2     = new JLabel("Score:"));
        pane.add(shotsLabel = new JLabel(new Integer(shots).toString()));
        pane.add(scoreLabel = new JLabel(new Integer(score).toString()));
    }
}

Again any help would be great

[Michael Dunn]

see if this makes any more sense

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
class Archery extends JFrame
{
  int shots = 0, score = 0;
  JLabel label1 = new JLabel("Shots: "), label2 = new JLabel("Score: ");
  JLabel shotsLabel = new JLabel(""+shots), scoreLabel = new JLabel(""+score);
 
  public Archery()
  {
    setTitle("Archery, v.1.0");
    setLocation(300,100);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    getContentPane().add(new ArcheryPanel(),BorderLayout.CENTER);
    JPanel bottom = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,4));
    bottom.add(label1);bottom.add(shotsLabel);bottom.add(label2);bottom.add(scoreLabel);
    getContentPane().add(bottom,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    pack();
  }
  public static void main(String[] args){new Archery().setVisible(true);}
}
class ArcheryPanel extends JPanel
{
  public ArcheryPanel()
  {
    setPreferredSize(new Dimension(310,310));
  }
  public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
  {
    super.paintComponent(g);
    g.setColor(Color.white);
    g.fillRect(5,30,300,300);
    g.setColor(Color.black);
    g.drawRect(5,30,300,300);
    g.setColor(Color.gray);
    g.fillOval(150-60,150-60,60*2,60*2);
    g.setColor(Color.green);
    g.fillOval(150-40,150-40,40*2,40*2);
    g.setColor(Color.red);
    g.fillOval(150-20,150-20,20*2,20*2);
  }
}

You might get more help if you ask this question at the Swing / AWT / SWT / JFace forum. That is the place to discuss GUI programming around these parts.

p.s. Maybe an admin can just move this thread for you.
