I'm pretty sure buttonPanel and BorderLayout are part of the swing package.. yet it cant be found? ???
code for kgtolb.java:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class kgtolb extends JFrame{
private converter w = new converter();
private JLabel kgLabel = new JLabel("Kilograms");
private JLabel lbLabel = new JLabel("Pounds");
private JTextField kgField = new JTextField("0.0");
private JTextField lbField = new JTextField("0.0");
private JButton kgButton = new JButton("Convert >>>>>");
private JButton lbButton = new JButton("Convert <<<<<");
public kgtolb() {
JPanel dataPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(2,2,12,6));
dataPanel.add(kgLabel);
dataPanel.add(lbLabel);
dataPanel.add(kgField);
dataPanel.add(lbField);
JPanel buttonPane1 = new JPanel();
buttonPanel.add(kgButton);
buttonPanel.add(lbButton);
Container container = getContentPane();
container.add(dataPanel, borderLayout.CENTER);
kgButton.addActionListener(new kgListener());
lbButton.addActionListener(new lbListener());
}
private class kgListener implements ActionListener{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String input = kgField.getText();
w.setkg(Double.parseDouble(input));
double kg = w.getkg();
kgField.setText(" ",kg);
}
}
private class lbListener implements ActionListener{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String input = lbField.getText();
w.setlb(Double.parseDouble(input));
double lb = w.getlb();
lbField.setText(" ",lb);
}
}
public static void main(String[]args){
kgtolb GUI = new kgtolb();
GUI.setTitle("Pounds to Kilograms converter");
GUI.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
GUI.pack();
GUI.setVisible(true);
}
}
here is the converter.java file:
public class converter {
private double weightLB;
private double weightKG;
public converter() {
}
public void setkg(double lb)
{
double weightKG = (double)lb/2.2;
}
public void setlb(double kg)
{
double weightLB = (double)kg*2.2;
}
public double getkg(){
return weightKG;
}
public double getlb(){
return weightLB;
}
}
/*lbs / 2.2 = kilograms
*kg x 2.2 = pounds
*/
here is the build output:

5 errors
Process completed.
Although I know it may not convert right, im just looking for it to work so I can make it convert properly once I see it work.
-
BorderLayout.CENTER
-
ok, but what about the buttonPanel one?
edit: ..and the setText one also
-
Well, the setText() one is that setText() only accepts one argument, and it has to be a String. I think you want that to say setText(" "+kg) and setText(" "+lb)
As for the buttonPanel one, I'm not sure yet...it looks like it should work just fine, but for some reason it's not.
-
hmm it says setText(java.lang.String) in javax.swing.text.JTextComponent cannot be applied to (java.lang.String,double)
(minus the bold)
so that means it accepts 2 arguments. Also it worked on the code my teacher gave me when it was used in that format :s
edit: man this is the 2nd time recently ive been getting an overly weird error.. the last time my teacher actually had to analyze it on her own computer during class! :o
-
No, http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/text/JTextComponent.html#setText(java.lang.String)
That error means that you are supplying it with java.lang.String,double and that those arguments are not valid. It doesn't mean that it accepts two arguments.
If you read the error message it says setText(java.lang.String) in javax.swing.text.JTextComponent cannot be applied to (java.lang.String,double)
-
ohhhhhhh your right, it does have the + on my paper. I'll edit this to let you know if that worked
edit: that did it ;D(http://www.omnimaga.org/Themes/default/images/gpbp_arrow_up.gif)
but.. ??? that buttonPanel.. :-X
edit: what class is buttonPanel found in?
-
buttonPanel isn't a class. You defined it in your code
JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
It's an instance of the JPanel class.
-
OOOOOOOOhhhhhhh! Now I got it. Heh.. turns out I put JPanel buttonPane1 instead of buttonPanel. :P now it works. Thanks!
-
Ah, well that would certainly do it! Damn this hard-to-distinguish font! Well, I'm glad it got figured out!
-
Ok this time it just won't convert period. I tried 5 in the kilograms field to convert to pounds but it didn't work and just put '0.0' in the pounds text field :(
here is the updated code and updated converter.java file
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class kgtolb extends JFrame{
private converter w = new converter();
private JLabel kgLabel = new JLabel("Kilograms");
private JLabel lbLabel = new JLabel("Pounds");
private JTextField kgField = new JTextField("");
private JTextField lbField = new JTextField("");
private JButton kgButton = new JButton("Convert >>>>>");
private JButton lbButton = new JButton("Convert <<<<<");
public kgtolb() {
JPanel dataPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(2,2,12,6));
dataPanel.add(kgLabel);
dataPanel.add(lbLabel);
dataPanel.add(kgField);
dataPanel.add(lbField);
JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
buttonPanel.add(kgButton);
buttonPanel.add(lbButton);
Container container = getContentPane();
container.add(dataPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
container.add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
kgButton.addActionListener(new kgListener());
lbButton.addActionListener(new lbListener());
}
private class kgListener implements ActionListener{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String input = kgField.getText();
double kginput = Double.parseDouble(input);
w.setlb(kginput);
double lb = w.getlb();
lbField.setText(""+ lb);
}
}
private class lbListener implements ActionListener{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String input = lbField.getText();
double lbinput = Double.parseDouble(input);
w.setkg(lbinput);
double lb = w.getlb();
kgField.setText(""+ lb);
}
}
public static void main(String[]args){
kgtolb GUI = new kgtolb();
GUI.setTitle("Pounds to Kilograms converter");
GUI.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
GUI.pack();
GUI.setVisible(true);
}
}
converter.java
public class converter {
private double weightLB;
private double weightKG;
public converter() {
}
public void setkg(double kg)
{
double weightKG = (double)kg/2.2;
}
public void setlb(double lb)
{
double weightLB = (double)lb*2.2;
}
public double getlb(){
return weightLB;
}
public double getkg(){
return weightKG;
}
}
/*lbs / 2.2 = kilograms
*kg x 2.2 = pounds
*/
-
public class converter {
private double weightLB;
private double weightKG;
public converter() {
}
public void setkg(double kg)
{
weightKG = (double)kg/2.2;
}
public void setlb(double lb)
{
weightLB = (double)lb*2.2;
}
public double getlb(){
return weightLB;
}
public double getkg(){
return weightKG;
}
}
/*lbs / 2.2 = kilograms
*kg x 2.2 = pounds
*/
Try that
-
:s it still outputs '0.0' when you enter a number in the lb input field and convert it to kg
-
w.setkg(lbinput);
double lb = w.getlb();Should that be w.getkg()?
-
yeah, I suppose so. Thanks for helping me! :D
..now to work on my moon phases assignment :-X
-
Noooooooo problem :)
