Creating An Applet

[Nickthegoatboy]

I wrote this program, and wanted to make it go into an applet or an executable file, but I don't know how. Please help!

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Program1
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        while (true){
        Scanner kbReader = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Hello Friends, I am here to put together a short story");
        System.out.println("about you and your life");
        System.out.println("   ");
        System.out.println("What is your name? (Hint: Just your first name)");
        String a = kbReader.next();
        System.out.println("  ");
        System.out.println("How old are you?");
        String b = kbReader.next();
        System.out.println("  ");
        System.out.println("Are you male or female?");
        String e = kbReader.next();
        System.out.println("  ");
        System.out.println("Do you have any pets? Y or N?");
        String c = kbReader.next();
        System.out.println("  ");
        String thisbetterwork = "thisbetterwork";
        String kool = "kool";
        String kooler = "kooler";
        if (c.equals("Y"))
        {

            String d = kbReader.next();

            yesorno = "does";

You can not use the Scanner class to read user input in an applet.

[Nickthegoatboy]

What can you use than?

[Norm]

Applets are part of the html page displayed by a browser. Add a GUI component to that display to receive user input.

BTW your posted code is not an applet.

[Nickthegoatboy]

I know it isn't! I want to make it into an applet!

[Norm]

First you need to change the program's logic to use GUI instead of the console. When that is done, Make a class that extends JPanel and add the GUI and logic to that, Then you will be able to add that new class to a class that extends JApplet or one that extends JFrame for testing or using.

[Nickthegoatboy]

How do you do that? Can you give me an example?

[Norm]

What part part you looking for?
Converting the code is not trivial.

You create your own class:

class YourClass extends JPanel {
  .... converted code here
} // end class

public class GUIClass extends JFrame {

   YourClass urCls = new YourClass();   // create an instance of your class
   add(urCls);            //  add instance of class to current GUI container

[Nickthegoatboy]

I still don't understand how I would convert my code.

[Norm]

Do you know how to write GUI code?
If so, then you need to consider how the console program interacts with a user to get input from the user and convert that scheme for getting input to one that uses GUI components like text fields or comboboxes and buttons.

[Nickthegoatboy]

I do not know how to write GUI code. That is why I am asking how I would convert my code.

[Norm]

Time to start doing some reading:
Trail: Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing (The Java™ Tutorials)

If you don't know how to write GUI, it will take you several weeks to learn enough to get started.

[DarrylBurke]

I do not know how to write GUI code. That is why I am asking how I would convert my code.

Also, you evidently don't bother to go through links posted to help you. Which is why Norm had to repeat the link I posted at #3.

[Nickthegoatboy]

Yes, you posted the link, but with no explanation unlike Norm.

[DarrylBurke]

All the explanation you need is in the linked pages.
