[SOLVED] KeyListeners in JavaApplets

[Unome]

So I've decided to continue on my gun applet. I've gotten the stick figure to move his pistol up to a certain angle and fire bullets off that angle. Now what I want to do is replace the if statements that I used to fire the gun (it was a simple loop once a certain angle was reached) to a key listener of when I hit the spacebar and replace the if statement that moves the gun up or down, with keylisteners to the arrow keys.

So here is what I am looking to find.

1. How do I make a KEY listener like the one I described
2. What are the names for the up arrow, down arrow, and spacebar keys?
3. Given the bellow code how do I do this?

Thanks in advance!!!1

There was a posting here in the last few weeks that showed how to get key strokes. I think it used Key Bindings. Do a search on that.

Hmm I see Key bindings use JComponent. Does that mean I will need to switch my Java Applet to a Java Component? Just wondering so I can begin thinking

Perhaps. Your best option may be to have a class that contains and can return a JComponent that can then be placed in a JApplet's contentPane. This will increase the flexibility of your program making it easy to place in a JApplet or JFrame at will. Also, I'm not a big fan of subclassing components unless one is changing the innate behavior of that component.

[Unome]

I'm researching key bindings but am having a very difficult time finding an example of them... I need to see some of the code of how key bindings are used to really understand how to use them. I'm looking at the description, but it doesn't even give me the import statements for the clases I need. I'll accept any information on Key Bindings, or on Key listeners or how you use them. Please help

[Norm]

Do a Search for InputMap and ActionMap. I think there are code examples on this forum.

[Unome]

I looked up what you told me and learned a little more...

I know now the following:

upArrow = 38(keycode)
downArrow = 40(keycode)
spacebar = 32(keycode)

I also learned that you can add keyListneres to text fields and I believe buttons. I know how to add my key listener but not a button. I think if I make a default button or an invisible button and use my keylistner on it, I can make this work. Any suggestions hints ideas? help lol

[Fubarable]

again, not keylisteners but use keybindings. Don't use "magic numbers" for your keycodes, use the constants of the KeyEvent class.

[Fubarable]

Here's a good link that shows a bit on KeyListeners in action: Swing - Detecting two keys at once

[hardwired]

1. How do I make a KEY listener like the one I described
You can do this with a KeyListener but it is more work and there can be subtle focus issues to deal with. Key binding is the preferred way for this.
2. What are the names for the up arrow, down arrow, and spacebar keys?
Look these up in the Field Summary section of the KeyEvent class api. You specify the "up" key with the int KeyEvent.VK_UP.
I see Key bindings use JComponent. Does that mean I will need to switch my Java Applet to a Java Component?
No. You can bind keys to the applets JRootPane (which extends JComponent) - see JRootPane class api for overview and details. Or you can bind them to a child JComponent extension, eg, a JPanel used for drawing/graphics. Focus issues can be a factor in your choice; rootpane binding keeps things simple.
I need to see some of the code of how key bindings are used to really understand how to use them.
Fair enough.
I'm looking at the description, but it doesn't even give me the import statements for the clases I need.
Learning to use the javadocs is a key to freedom in writing java code.

Thankyou SO much hardwired.. your a great programmer. Now I just got to apply it to the thread :) I should be able to handle it... you gave me a running start

[Unome]

Thanks for solving my question!

[hardwired]

How do I make it run despite holding a key or not?
Fire up a new Thread to start an animation along a line from beginning to end, viz, boundry of component.
There are a lot of ways you could put something like this together.
Here's an idea to get started:

public class KeyFire extends JApplet {
    ...
    KeyFireRunner keyFireRunner;

    public void init() {
        ...
        keyFireRunner = new KeyFireRunner(keyFirePanel);
        ...
    }

    private AbstractAction rightAction = new AbstractAction() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            keyFirePanel.fire();
            keyFireRunner.start();
        }
    };

    ...
}

class KeyFirePanel extends JPanel {
    ...
    Line2D.Double lineOfFire = new Line2D.Double();
    Ellipse2D.Double ball = new Ellipse2D.Double(0,0,10,10);
    ...

    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        ...
        if(firing) {
            g2.setPaint(Color.pink);
            g2.draw(lineOfFire);  // optional
            g2.setPaint(Color.red);
            g2.fill(ball);
        }
    }

    public void fire() {
        // Calculate beginning and end (end is offscreen)
        // of the line of travel for projectile ("ball").
        lineOfFire.setLine(x1, y1, x2, y2);
        ball.setFrameFromCenter(x1, y1, x1+ball.width/2, y1+ball.height/2);
        // Set other variables as needed, including
        firing = true;
        repaint();
    }

    public boolean step() {
        // Increment (member variable) distance along line
        // for next position of projectile.
        // Calculate next position.
        ball.setFrameFromCenter(x, y, x+ball.width/2, y+ball.height/2);
        firing = test_if_projectile_is_still_in_bounds
        repaint();
        return firing;
    }
}

class KeyFireRunner implements Runnable {
    ...

    public void run() {
        while(running) {
            try {
                Thread.sleep(delay);
            } catch(InterruptedException e) {
                running = false;
            }
            boolean more = keyFirePanel.step();
            if(!more) {
                stop();
            }
        }
    }

    // Methods to start and stop this thread.
}

[Unome]

mmk I've ran around some trouble when trying to add the thread to the code, and I have no clue why. I'm probobally leaving out some important thing. I feel bad bugging you guys so much... My java teacher doesn't really know how to program, so its independent study so you guys are all I got :confused:.

When I started working to put the thread within the code I realized a problem immediately, and I've been trying to work around it but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. There are three errors I'll mark um in red bold.

The first error says "The Constructor jeyFireRunner(keyFirePanel)" cannot be resolved

The second error says "The method "start" is undefined"

the third error says "KeyFirePanel cannot be resolved" Whats the reason for these errors? do you know?

[hardwired]

The first error says "The Constructor jeyFireRunner(keyFirePanel)" cannot be resolved
The compiler cannot find (resolve) a constructor in the KeyFireRunner class that has the signature:

KeyFireRunner(KeyFirePanel kfp)

You have to add a constructor to the class that will take a KeyFirePanel argument, ie, that has a single parameter of type KeyFirePanel.

The second error says "The method "start" is undefined"
You will have to add a start method to the KeyFireRunner class. This is the method you call to start a new thread in/of this class:

thread = new Thread(this);
thread.start();

where "thread" is a member variable (which you will need to declare).

the third error says "KeyFirePanel cannot be resolved" Whats the reason for these errors? do you know?
You will need to have a member variable "keyFirePanel" which you initialize in the constructor:

class KeyFireRunner implements Runnable {
    KeyFirePanel keyFirePanel;  // member variable has class scope

    public KeyFireRunner(KeyFirePanel kfp) {
        // Assign value of argument "kfp"
        // to member variable "keyFirePanel".
        // This initializes the member variable.
        keyFirePanel = kfp;
    }

I'm getting this error message:

"Exception in thread "Thread-9" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: KeyFirePanel.step()V
at KeyFireRunner.run(Gunmaster2.java:166)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)"

What do I need to fix in my code to make this thing work right?

Is it possible that all of the class files were NOT compiled at the same source level? Ie there are old versions of class files being used.

[Unome]

Hmm... I'm nots sure about that... I tweaked some things... and now I'm getting a BUTLOAD OF ERRORS...
