    Default Mutiple classfile, JPanel nothing shows up

    I had 2 .java files and I decided it was too much stuff in two file .java so I made more class but now nothing is showing up :\


    myFrame.java
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
     
     
    public class myFrame extends JPanel implements ActionListener,KeyListener {
    	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     
    	Timer t = new Timer(5, this);
     
    	public myFrame() {
    		t.start();
    		addKeyListener(this);
    		setVisible(true);
    		setFocusable(true);
    		setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled(false);		
    	}

    Can you explain how you are executing the program? Are there any error messages?
    What happens when you start the program?

    Check that you are using the layout manager correctly so that all the components added to a container are being positioned where you want them.

    Try doing some debugging by adding a drawLine() method call to the paint() method that will be sure to be seen when it executes. Also print out the bounds of the component when the paint method is called.

    BTW You should NOT override the paint() method for Swing classes. Better to override the paintComponent() method.

    If i use paintComponent() The repaint() method doesn't work.

    The rectangle leaves footprints in the Frame

    Use paintCompoment not PaintComponent

    Sorry it was a typo... I used paintComponent and the rectangle let a footprints on his side when I moved it around

    I tryed the drawLine method and nothing appears on the screen.

    nothing appears on the screen.
    What bounds values were printed from printlns added to the paint()methods?

    Did you check the layout manager usage?

    I don't use a layout manager. I guess that my problem... in my arkanoidGame.java I do :

    JFrame frame = new JFrame();

    frame.setBounds(0,0,800,600); does it set the bounds?

    Nothing prints out

    There is a default layout manager for containers.

    If nothing prints out then the paint() methods are not being called.

    If you print the bounds of the components from their paint() methods then you can see how big they are. In some cases the width and height can be so small that you don't see them on the screen.

    What is the MyFrame class used for? It does not have an override for the paint() method but it extends JPanel so I assume it should be showing something.

    Just to be sure how do I print out those bounds? Inside the paintComponent method?

    public void paintComponent(Graphics draw2D) {
    ............
    ............
    System.out.println(..........);
    } ???

    System.out.println("<NAMEOFCLASS> bnds=" + getBounds());

    Since there are 3 classes you should label each so you know which class is being printed.

    myFrame is the frame.... extend JPanels to use

    addKeyListener(this);
    setVisible(true);
    setFocusable(true);
    setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled(false);

    So it does not display anything on the screen?

    Right nothing,

    I added : System.out.println("myFrame bounds = " + getBounds());
    on the public myFrame constructor and I got :
    myFrame bounds = java.awt.Rectangle[x=0,y=0,width=800,height=600]

    none of all other class printed anything

    Default Re: Mutiple classfile, JPanel nothing shows up

    Add a paintComponent() method with that println of the bounds to the MyFrame class and see if it is called and prints anything.

    myFrame bounds = java.awt.Rectangle[x=0,y=0,width=792,height=573] It prints it twice.

    Did you look at the layout manager part?
    If you give several components to the layout manager and tell it to put them all in the same place, only the last one added will be shown. The ones added earlier will be overlain/replaced by the later ones.

    Your code uses the default so all the components go to the same place and the last one added is the one that is left.

    Change the order that the components are added to see if the printout changes.

    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    myFrame s = new myFrame();
    ball b = new ball();
    pad p = new pad();
    frame.add(p);
    frame.add(b);
    frame.add(s);
    frame.setVisible(true);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOS E);
    frame.setSize(800,600);

    So I guess that only the frame.add(s); works in there right?...

    So I overrides the first 2?

    I changed it for :

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    myFrame s = new myFrame();
    ball b = new ball();
    pad p = new pad();
    frame.add(s);
    frame.add(p);
    frame.add(b);
    frame.setVisible(true);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOS E);
    frame.setSize(800,600);

    and the ball appeared... but the pad didn't since the ball override the pad....

    public class arkanoidGame {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    myFrame s = new myFrame();
    ball b = new ball();
    pad p = new pad();
    panel.add(s);
    panel.add(p);
    panel.add(b);
    frame.add(panel);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOS E);
    frame.setSize(800,600);
    frame.setVisible(true);
    }
    }

    I Added a panel and the bounds changed to :
    myFrame bounds = java.awt.Rectangle[x=376,y=5,width=10,height=10] Why?

    Why?
    One of the magic events caused by a layout manager. The JPanel has a different default layout manager from the JFrame.

    You need to figure out what layout you want to use for those 3 components.
    Have you seen the tutorial:
    A Visual Guide to Layout Managers (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Laying Out Components Within a Container)

    Well the ball as to go anywhere....

    The pad can stay at the bottom

    And the bricks at the top...

    3 Different Layout?

    Yes, you can use different layout managers in different containers. It all depends on what you want the GUI to look like.

    Default Re: Mutiple classfile, JPanel nothing shows up

    Ok!, I got rid of my myFrame class I think it was pretty much useless so now I got my arkanoidGame ,pad and ball Class

    I tryed the System.out.println in the addComponentsToPane and it gives me
    myFrame bounds = java.awt.Rectangle[x=0,y=0,width=0,height=0]

    So I don't really know why It's 0.......I did set the size and bounds in createAndShowGui

    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
     
     
    public class arkanoidGame extends JFrame {
    	FlowLayout layout = new FlowLayout();
     
    	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     
     
    	public arkanoidGame(String name) {	
    		super(name);
     
    	}
    	public void addComponentsToPane(final Container pane) {
     
    		final JPanel panel = new JPanel();		
    		panel.setLayout(layout);
    		panel.add(new ball());
    		panel.add(new pad());	
    		System.out.println("myFrame bounds = " + getBounds());
    	}
     
    	private static void createAndShowGui() {
    		arkanoidGame frame = new arkanoidGame("Arkanoid Game");
    		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    		frame.addComponentsToPane(frame.getContentPane());				
    		frame.pack();
    		frame.setSize(800,600);
    		frame.setBounds(0,0,800,600);	
    		frame.setFocusable(true);
    		frame.setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled(false);
    		frame.setVisible(true);		
    	}
     
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
    		try {
                //UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
                UIManager.setLookAndFeel("javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel");
            } catch (UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            } catch (InstantiationException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }
    		  UIManager.put("swing.boldMetal", Boolean.FALSE);
     
    	        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
    	            public void run() {
    	                createAndShowGui();
    	            }	
     
    	        });
    	}
    }
