Problem Reading in data from Text Field

[markious]

So I couldn't get this exercise done even though I'm so close and I know it..

Basically need to create a GUI that has two text fields (input and output) and two buttons (double and triple)

You input a number into the input text field, press double or triple and voilà it prints out the answer in the output text field.


This is my first class which builds the GUI implements the action listeners etc.

import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

public class MyCalculatorGui extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
    
    /**
     * 
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    
    
    JTextField input = new JTextField(20);
    JTextField output = new JTextField(20);
    int result = 0;
    
    public MyCalculatorGui() {
        
        super("Gui Calculator");
        
        Container c = getContentPane();
        
        JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        

        input.setText("");
        input.setEditable(true);
        
        
        
        output.setEditable(false);
        
        
        JButton doubleButton = new JButton();
        doubleButton.setText("Double");
        doubleButton.addActionListener(this);
        
        JButton tripleButton = new JButton();
        tripleButton.setText("Triple");
        tripleButton.addActionListener(this);
        
        panel.add(input);
        panel.add(doubleButton);
        panel.add(tripleButton);
        panel.add(output);
        
        
        c.add(panel);
        
        setSize(450, 400);
        setVisible(true);
        setResizable(true);
        
        
    }
    
    public void actionPreformed(ActionEvent e){
        
        if(e.getActionCommand().equals("Double")){
            String s = input.getText();
            
            int val = Integer.parseInt(s);
            
            int result = MathHelper.doubleInt(val);    
            
            output.setText(""+result);
        }
        
        else if(e.getActionCommand().equals("triple")){
            String s = input.getText();
            
            int val = Integer.parseInt(s);
            
            int result = MathHelper.tripleInt(val);    
            
            output.setText(""+result);
        }
        
        
    }

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        MyCalculatorGui MyGui = new MyCalculatorGui();

    }

        
}

And this is my second class that you pass the information obtained in the input box into, and it returns the answer

/**
 * @author Mark Walsh 
 *
 */
public class MathHelper {

    /**
     * @param doubleInt .. info to be filled in
     */
    public static int doubleInt(int inputNum) {
        return inputNum*2;

    }
    
    public static int tripleInt(int inputNum) {
        return inputNum*3;

    }

}

Now the program runs but doesn't work to how I want it too. And its really getting to me now.

I am rather new to the Swing and Awt packages

Can someone please even give me a good guidance to whats going wrong.

Cheers guys

[Fubarable]

public class MyCalculatorGui extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
    
    //....
    
    public void actionPreformed(ActionEvent e){ // ?? "Preformed"
            //....
    }
        
}

Now the program runs but doesn't work to how I want it too. And its really getting to me now.

Are you sure? Does it even compile? It shouldn't given the critical misspelling noted above.

Omg..

I feel completely and utterly stupid. lol Major fail.

Let me show you my original copy and pasted code:

import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

    JTextField input = new JTextField(20);
    JTextField output = new JTextField(20);
    int result = 0;
    
    public MyCalculatorGui() {
        
        super("Gui Calculator");
        
        Container c = getContentPane();
        
        JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        

        input.setText("");
        input.setEditable(true);
        
        
        
        output.setEditable(false);
        
        
        JButton doubleButton = new JButton();
        doubleButton.setText("Double");
        doubleButton.addActionListener(this);
        
        JButton tripleButton = new JButton();
        tripleButton.setText("Triple");
        tripleButton.addActionListener(this);
        
        panel.add(input);

        panel.add(tripleButton);
        panel.add(output);
        
        
        c.add(panel);
        
        setSize(450, 400);
        setVisible(true);
        setResizable(true);
        
        
    }
    
    public void actionPreformed(ActionEvent e){

            String s = input.getText();
            
            int val = Integer.parseInt(s);
            
            int result = MathHelper.doubleInt(val);    
            
            output.setText(""+result);
        }
        
        else if(e.getActionCommand().equals("triple")){
            String s = input.getText();
            
            int val = Integer.parseInt(s);
            
            int result = MathHelper.tripleInt(val);    
            
            output.setText(""+result);
        }
        
        
    }

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        MyCalculatorGui MyGui = new MyCalculatorGui();

    }

@Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        
    }

}

notice

@Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        
    }

Only started using Eclipse also.. Only Noticed that part after I pasted here. And me thinking I added it by accident deleted that part.


I removed that code and fixed the spelling error.. Works perfect.

:o

Talk about feeling like a complete newb :( :P
