This chapter discusses graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and object-oriented design in Java programming. It covers basic GUI components like JFrame, JLabel, JTextField and JButton. It explains how events and listeners work in GUI applications and provides examples of designing classes and methods for a temperature converter program and a candy machine program. The chapter summary emphasizes the key concepts like creating windows with JFrame, using labels, text fields and buttons to build the GUI, handling events with listeners, and applying object-oriented principles to problem solving.

21. class Jbutton (continued) Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e

22. Handling an Event Action event: event created when JButton is clicked Event listener: object that receives message when JButton is clicked In Java, you must register the listener Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e

23. Handling an Event (continued) class ActionListener Handles action event Part of package java.awt.Event The class ActionListener is a special type of class (interface) Must contain actionPerformed method Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e

24. Rectangle Program: Sample Run Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e

25. Programming Example: Temperature Conversion Input: temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius Output: temperature in Celsius if input is Fahrenheit; temperature in Fahrenheit if input is Celsius Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e

26. Programming Example: Temperature Conversion (continued) Solution Create the appropriate JLabels , JTextFields , JButtons Add them to the created content pane Calculate the appropriate conversions when the buttons are clicked and an event is triggered Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e

27. Sample Run for TempConversion Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e

28. Object-Oriented Design Simplified methodology 1. Write down detailed description of problem 2. Identify all (relevant) nouns and verbs 3. From list of nouns, select objects 4. Identify data components of each object 5. From list of verbs, select operations Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e

29. Object-Oriented Design Example 1 Problem statement Write a program to input the length and width of a rectangle, and calculate and print the perimeter and area of the rectangle Nouns Length, width, rectangle, perimeter, area Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e

30. class Rectangle with Data Members and Operations Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e

31. Object-Oriented Design Example 2 An inoperable candy machine has a cash register and four dispensers to hold and release items sold by the machine The machine sells: candies, chips, gum, and cookies Write a program for this candy machine so that it can be put into operation Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e

32. Object-Oriented Design Example 2 (continued) The program should do the following: Show the customer the different products sold by the candy machine Let the customer make the selection Show the customer the cost of the item selected Accept money from the customer Return change Release the item ; that is, make the sale Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e

33. Object-Oriented Design Example 2 (continued) Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e

35. Implementing Classes and Operations Algorithms are used to implement operations Construct and implement your own methods Classes Integer , Double , Character , Long , Float Known as wrapper classes Provided so that values of primitive data types can be treated as objects Have limitations (cannot change value stored in objects) Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e

36. The class Integer Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e

37. The class Integer (continued) Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e

40. The class Integer (continued) Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e int x; Integer num; num = 25; For the most part, this statement is similar to the statement: num = new Integer(25); The expression: num = 25; is referred to as autoboxing of the int type

41. The class Integer (continued) Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e int x; Integer num; The statement: x = num; This statement is equivalent to the statement: x = num.intValue(); This statement is referred to as auto-unboxing of the int type

42. The class Integer (continued) Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e To compare the values of two Integer objects, you can use the method compareTo If you want to compare the values of two Integer objects only for equality, then you can use the method equals

46. Chapter Summary (continued) Action listener must have method called actionPerformed class : collection of data members and methods associated with those members Object-oriented design (OOD) Starts with a problem statement Identifies classes required with nouns in problem statement Identifies methods required with verbs in problem specification Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design, 5e
