Push Button Java Application with a DialogMessage Display

In my second semester of university I worked on Java Object-Oriented Design, particularly focusing on this component of Object-Oriented programming.

The purpose of this project was to develop a push-button Java application so that it displays a Displaymessage box with some type of a question, or an explanation about some topic or an event.

The first component of the code is importing certain features so that the code does print buttons.

as you can see above a list of names for classes. We have a class try.java and we also have action.class which represents our action listener that we will use as a tool to create buttons and responsive components.

The next piece of code below shows the list of names of our buttons used in this application. Every button has a name so like b1, b2, b3 and etc.

Next image shows how we construct a layout that will contain all these buttons. An every time a word 'new' is in place, that means that button is a new button in the layout as you see in the example down below. input

In this image of our code we want to create a text label, so that it allows the user to input the name, and that the label name is also there next to it.

Here as you can see we set up the name of our frame where our Button will be located.

we also want to set up a size for the layout as 1400 and 450.,/p>

tHE NEXT IMAGE OF OUR CODE SHOWS HOW WE SET UP 2 OBJECTS.

was you can see each object represented with a statement as a response such as 'good' or 'not so good./p>

The next image shows how we incorporated statement with our new buttons

Click here to see the image.

As you see every statement is somewhat different and is assigned to that new button, so when you click on that button it print not only the name of the button but its statement./p>

These next images showcase declarations and how we incorporated statements within our new buttons

As you see every statement is somewhat different and is assigned to that new button, so when you click on that button it print not only the name of the button but its statement./p>

If you look closer you can see how every button is located within another button, meaning that when you click on one button it will open another button, and for every question there will be an explanation before an answer. So like 3 buttons in a sequential order. One after another.

ActionListeners are very important assignments when we are dealing with button declaration. So in this part of code we are adding all the action listeners to each assigned button, so that it perform an action once we call Action() method.

Color setting is crucial when making the appearance look organized and powerful.

As you see the above image shows how we incorporated different colors to our buttons, so that it's not the same color every time we open a different button. Variety is very important. And certainly we want it to be visible./p>

HERE ARE MORE IMAGES of OUR CODE on a set up of our foreground colors.

nEXT YOU SEE IMAGES OF OU GridConstraints:

These constraints are positioning of our buttons on the grid layout. As was mentioned earlier, the structure is crucial, but knowing how to set up the right coordinates for our buttons is crucial. With this method we are able to organize our buttons in a consecutive order.../p>

Creating Errors and solutions to those errors can provide further actions on how to move on after that error is displayed.

In the above image we have created few errors that we want our display box to show to the user, but some of these errors won't close even when you click OK/p>

Here is how we used looping with if/else to create a condition after another condition. So i order for the next button to open we need to click on the previous button, and this is how we have structured showMessageDialog and the rootPane to display all the buttons in a consecutive order. not at the same time, but one button at a time..

tHIS IS HOW LOOPING IS HELPFUL WHEN using it to manage buttons within other buttons./p>

We end our code application with the the { public static void main (String[] args }

the purpose is to call upon our function and method which is Actions();

With this statement and request for action we will run the whole application with an opening to our grid and layout. Where we'll see all of our buttons listed.

Let's run the application and see the output of our code:
