Study Notes
Swing Components
- Swing is a part of Java Foundation Classes (JFC)
- Used to create window-based applications
- Built on top of AWT (Abstract Windowing Toolkit)
- Platform-independent and lightweight components
javax.swing
package provides swing API classes- Examples:
JButton
,JTextField
,JRadioButton
,JComboBox
,JCheckBox
,JTabbedPane
,JScrollPane
,Jtree
,JTable
,JProgressBar
AWT vs Swing
- AWT components are platform-dependent while Swing components are platform-independent
- AWT components are heavyweight while Swing components are lightweight
- AWT doesn't support pluggable look and feel; Swing supports pluggable look and feel
- AWT provides fewer components compared to Swing; Swing has more powerful components (e.g., tables, lists, scroll panes, color choosers, tabbed panes)
- AWT doesn't follow MVC (Model-View-Controller) design pattern; Swing follows MVC
MVC Architecture
- Swing follows a loosely based MVC architecture
- Model: Represents component data
- View: Represents the visual representation of the component's data
- Controller: Takes user input from the view and modifies the component's data.
- Swing components have a separate Model element, while the View and Controller are combined in the UI elements
Swing Features
- Lightweight: Independent of native OS APIs; rendered using Java code
- Rich controls: Includes more advanced controls (e.g., trees, tabbed panes, sliders)
- Highly Customizable: Visual appearance independent of internal representation
- Pluggable look-and-feel: Application look and feel can be changed at runtime based on available values
JApplet
- Represents a Swing applet
- Subclass of the Applet class
- Used for creating applets that use Swing components
- Components are added to the content pane
ImageIcon
- Implements the Icon interface for painting images in Swing
- Constructor:
ImageIcon(String filename)
,ImageIcon(URL location)
- Methods:
getIconHeight()
,getIconWidth()
,getImage()
,paintIcon()
,setImage()
JLabel
- Displays text, images, or both
- Constructors:
JLabel()
,JLabel(String)
,JLabel(Icon)
,JLabel(String, Icon, horizontalAlignment)
JCheckBox
- A graphical control used to create a checkbox
- Changes its state between "on" or "off"
- Inherits the JToggleButton class
JButton
- An implementation of a push button
- Generates an event when pressed
- Can have text or images
JRadioButton
- Used to create radio buttons
- Allows selecting one from multiple options
JComboBox
- Creates dropdown (combo) boxes
- Used to select options from a list
- Constructors:
JComboBox()
,JComboBox(Object[] items)
,JComboBox(Vector<?> items)
- Methods:
addItem()
,removeItem()
,removeAllItems()
,setEditable()
,addActionListener()
,addItemListener()
JScrollPane
- Makes portions of a larger component scrollable
- Constructors:
JScrollPane()
,JScrollPane(Component)
,JScrollPane(Component, int, int)
- Constants for scroll bar policies:
VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED
,HORIZONTAL SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS
, etc
JTree
- Displays hierarchical data in a tree structure
- Inherits
JComponent
- Uses
DefaultMutableTreeNode
for creating nodes and representing hierarchical relationships.
JTabbedPane
- Used to switch between components using tabs
- Contains
add()
method for adding components to tabs
JTable
- Displays data in a tabular (row/column) format
JProgressBar
- Displays the progress of a task in a progress bar
- Constructors include
JProgressBar()
and various constructors based on maximum or minimum values and orientation.
JSeparator
- Creates dividers in a layout
- Constructor:
JSeparator()
,JSeparator(int orientation)
(for vertical dividers)
