I'm trying to add a "green team" to an example scoring GUI I found online. For some reason, the code compiles, but it runs with only the original two teams. I've tried playing around with the sizes/locations somewhat clumsily, and since no change was observed with these modications (NO change at ALL), I admit that I must be missing some necessary property or something. Any help? Here's the code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
public class ButtonDemo_Extended3 implements ActionListener{
// Definition of global values and items that are part of the GUI.
int redScoreAmount = 0;
int blueScoreAmount = 0;
int greenScoreAmount = 0;
JPanel titlePanel, scorePanel, buttonPanel;
JLabel redLabel, blueLabel,greenLabel, redScore, blueScore, greenScore;
JButton redButton, blueButton, greenButton,resetButton;
public JPanel createContentPane (){
// We create a bottom JPanel to place everything on.
JPanel totalGUI = new JPanel();
totalGUI.setLayout(null);
// Creation of a Panel to contain the title labels
titlePanel = new JPanel();
titlePanel.setLayout(null);
titlePanel.setLocation(0, 0);
titlePanel.setSize(500, 500);
totalGUI.add(titlePanel);
redLabel = new JLabel("Red Team");
redLabel.setLocation(300, 0);
redLabel.setSize(100, 30);
redLabel.setHorizontalAlignment(0);
redLabel.setForeground(Color.red);
titlePanel.add(redLabel);
blueLabel = new JLabel("Blue Team");
blueLabel.setLocation(900, 0);
blueLabel.setSize(100, 30);
blueLabel.setHorizontalAlignment(0);
blueLabel.setForeground(Color.blue);
titlePanel.add(blueLabel);
greenLabel = new JLabel("Green Team");
greenLabel.setLocation(600, 0);
greenLabel.setSize(100, 30);
greenLabel.setHorizontalAlignment(0);
greenLabel.setForeground(Color.green);
titlePanel.add(greenLabel);
// Creation of a Panel to contain the score labels.
scorePanel = new JPanel();
scorePanel.setLayout(null);
scorePanel.setLocation(10, 40);
scorePanel.setSize(500, 30);
totalGUI.add(scorePanel);
redScore = new JLabel(""+redScoreAmount);
redScore.setLocation(0, 0);
redScore.setSize(40, 30);
redScore.setHorizontalAlignment(0);
scorePanel.add(redScore);
greenScore = new JLabel(""+greenScoreAmount);
greenScore.setLocation(60, 0);
greenScore.setSize(40, 30);
greenScore.setHorizontalAlignment(0);
scorePanel.add(greenScore);
blueScore = new JLabel(""+blueScoreAmount);
blueScore.setLocation(130, 0);
blueScore.setSize(40, 30);
blueScore.setHorizontalAlignment(0);
scorePanel.add(blueScore);
// Creation of a Panel to contain all the JButtons.
buttonPanel = new JPanel();
buttonPanel.setLayout(null);
buttonPanel.setLocation(10, 80);
buttonPanel.setSize(2600, 70);
totalGUI.add(buttonPanel);
// We create a button and manipulate it using the syntax we have
// used before. Now each button has an ActionListener which posts
// its action out when the button is pressed.
redButton = new JButton("Red Score!");
redButton.setLocation(0, 0);
redButton.setSize(30, 30);
redButton.addActionListener(this);
buttonPanel.add(redButton);
blueButton = new JButton("Blue Score!");
blueButton.setLocation(150, 0);
blueButton.setSize(30, 30);
blueButton.addActionListener(this);
buttonPanel.add(blueButton);
greenButton = new JButton("Green Score!");
greenButton.setLocation(250, 0);
greenButton.setSize(30, 30);
greenButton.addActionListener(this);
buttonPanel.add(greenButton);
resetButton = new JButton("Reset Score");
resetButton.setLocation(0, 100);
resetButton.setSize(50, 30);
resetButton.addActionListener(this);
buttonPanel.add(resetButton);
totalGUI.setOpaque(true);
return totalGUI;
}
// This is the new ActionPerformed Method.
// It catches any events with an ActionListener attached.
// Using an if statement, we can determine which button was pressed
// and change the appropriate values in our GUI.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if(e.getSource() == redButton)
{
redScoreAmount = redScoreAmount + 1;
redScore.setText(""+redScoreAmount);
}
else if(e.getSource() == blueButton)
{
blueScoreAmount = blueScoreAmount + 1;
blueScore.setText(""+blueScoreAmount);
}
else if(e.getSource() == greenButton)
{
greenScoreAmount = greenScoreAmount + 1;
greenScore.setText(""+greenScoreAmount);
}
else if(e.getSource() == resetButton)
{
redScoreAmount = 0;
blueScoreAmount = 0;
greenScoreAmount = 0;
redScore.setText(""+redScoreAmount);
blueScore.setText(""+blueScoreAmount);
greenScore.setText(""+greenScoreAmount);
}
}
private static void createAndShowGUI() {
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
JFrame frame = new JFrame("[=] JButton Scores! [=]");
//Create and set up the content pane.
ButtonDemo_Extended demo = new ButtonDemo_Extended();
frame.setContentPane(demo.createContentPane());
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(1024, 768);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread:
//creating and showing this application's GUI.
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
createAndShowGUI();
}
});
}
