Swing Class Hierarchy
3
Swing Components
4
Swing Conatiners JFrame – top-level window to store components
5
Swing Conatiners JPanel – container; can be embedded in JFrame
6
Layouts FlowLayout arranges elements in a row elements centered by default within container GridLayout subdivides container into cells of identical sizes components take up all available space of a cell BorderLayout subdivides container into 5 areas: N, S, E, W, Center
7
Layouts 3x3 GridLayout4x1 GridLayoutBorderLayout FlowLayout used to place the 3 panels in the Jframe.
8
Grid Layout 3x3 GridLayout4x1 GridLayoutBorderLayout GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(3, 3); panel.setLayout(layout); button1 = new JButton( "1" ); panel.add( button1 ); button2 = new JButton( "2" ); panel.add( button2 ); button3 = new JButton( "3" ); panel.add( button3 ); button4 = new JButton( "4" ); panel.add( button4 );............... Components are stretched to occupy the whole panel area.
9
Border Layout 3x3 GridLayout4x1 GridLayoutBorderLayout BorderLayout layout = new BorderLayout(); panel.setLayout(layout); button1 = new JButton( "North" ); panel.add( button1, BorderLayout.NORTH ); button2 = new JButton( "South" ); panel.add( button2, BorderLayout.SOUTH ); button3 = new JButton( "East" ); panel.add( button3, BorderLayout.EAST ); button4 = new JButton( "West" ); panel.add( button4, BorderLayout.WEST ); button5 = new JButton( "Center" ); panel.add( button5, BorderLayout.CENTER ); Center area gets most of the space. The other areas are given only as much as they need. Not all areas need to be occupied.
10
Listeners Process events from components, containers ActionListener (JButton, Timer, JComboBox) ChangeListener (JSlider) MouseListener, MouseMotionListener (JPanel, JFrame) Listeners are interfaces; must implement ALL specified methods ActionListener: void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) ChangeListener: void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) MouseListener: void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) MouseMotionListener: void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
11
Adapter classes Convenience classes server as intermediaries between the available interfaces and the user-defined (listener) classes that implement the interfaces make it possible to implement only the methods of interest

File IO
16
Text File Output PrintWriter used for writing to file; same methods as in System.out As if output is written to the screen with the extra steps of opening a file, closing the file, and catching exceptions try { PrintWriter output = new PrintWriter("output-file.txt"); output.println("Hello"); output.printl(42); output.println(3.1459); output.close(); } catch (Exception e) { // report error }
17
Text File Input Scanner used for reading from file; same as in CS111 As if input is received from the keyboard with the extra steps of opening a file, closing the file, and catching exceptions Reading stops as soon as appropriate token found; otherwise fails try { Scanner input = new Scanner(new File("input-file.txt")); String word = input.next(); int answer = input.nextInt(); double pi = input.nextDouble(); input.close(); } catch (Exception e) { // report error } Need to know the file format Whitespaces are ignored
18
Serialization Mechanism for making exact copies of objects For simple classes enough to declare implements Serializable Application – saving / reading actual objects from a file
19
Saving with Serialization ObjectOutputStream and method writeObject(obj) try { FileOutputStream file = new FileOutputStream("pets.ser"); ObjectOutputStream output = new ObjectOutputStream(file); output.write(petsList.size()); for (Pet pet : petsList) { output.writeObject(pet); } output.close(); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Could not write to file. " + e); }
20
ObjectInputStream and method readObject() try { FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream("pets.ser"); ObjectInputStream output = new ObjectInputStream(file); int count = input.readInt(); for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) { Pet pet = input.readObject(); } output.close(); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Could not read from file. " + e); } Reading with Serialization
21
Exceptions
22
Mechanism for handling unexpected RUN-TIME conditions (errors) Force the programmer to handle error conditions Allow for separating the logic of the code from error-handling Sometimes no other option to report the value: constructor minElement, maxElement Example – see FileIO
23
Exceptions Can create our own type of exception (should inherit from Exception) class EmptyArrayException extends Exception { public void EmptyArrayException() { super(); } public void EmptyArrayException(String message) { super(message); }
24
Exceptions Example of our own Exception --- throw/throws int minElement(int[] numbers) throws EmptyArrayException { // empty array --- throw an exception if (numbers.length == 0) { throw EmptyArrayException(“Empty array given”); } // //... compute smallest element... // }
25
extends vs. implements class vs. interface multiple inheritance
26
Interfaces An interface specifies a collection of methods An interface does not have data members or code for methods A class that implements the interface must provide code (implementation) for all methods listed in the interface interface RemoteControllable { public void play(); public void stop(); public void ffwd(); } class VCR implements RemoteControllable { // must provide code for all methods in RemoteControllable } class DVD implements RemoteControllable { // must provide code for all methods in RemoteControllable }
27
Multiple Inheritance String name; //species void setName(String n) {......... } String name; // pet’s name void setName(String n) {......... } Class MammalClass Pet Class Cat
28
Multiple Inheritance String name; //species void setName(String n) {......... } String name; // pet’s name void setName(String n) {......... } Class MammalClass Pet Which name is inherited? Which setName() is inherited? Class Cat
29
Complex rules required to disambiguate in multiple inheritance Java does not support multiple inheritance; C++ does Multiple Inheritance String name; //species void setName(String n) {......... } String name; // pet’s name void setName(String n) {......... } Class MammalClass Pet Which name is inherited? Which setName() is inherited? Class Cat
30
What if we still want a Cat to behave like a Mammal and Pet interface Mammal { // all methods (behaviors) common to mammals // no code is specified, just the behavior names (methods) } class Pet { // description of generic pet } class Cat extends Pet implements Mammal { // has all behaviors of a Pet – could override some // must implement all behaviors of Mammal } Multiple Inheritance
31
Can now use Cat objects anywhere Mammal behaviors required or where Pet objects are required public void hunt(Mammal predator, Mammal prey) { // do something; could send a Cat as // either prey or predator } public void doTricks(Pet pet) { // do something; could send a Cat for pet } Multiple Inheritance
32
A Java class can only extend from one other class (single inheritance) A Java class can implement multiple interfaces – can ambiguity arise? Multiple Interfaces Implementation
33
A Java class can only extend from one other class (single inheritance) A Java class can implement multiple interfaces – no ambiguity since an interface cannot have data members an interface cannot have code (implementation) for methods Multiple Interfaces Implementation
