Browsing .png files?

[petur170]

Hi, i'm trying to make a little applet where you can load a image (via File Browsing), edit it to your liking (with a preview) and save it again. But for some reason the preview is not working. Here's most of my code (file browsing and preview image):

package DesaturateApplet;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.*;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.*;

public class ImageBrowser extends JFrame{

    //====================================================== fields
    JTextField   _fileNameTF  = new JTextField(15);
    JTextField   _wordCountTF = new JTextField(4);
    JFileChooser _fileChooser = new JFileChooser();

    //================================================= constructor
    ImageBrowser() {
    	String newline = System.getProperty("line.separator");

        _fileNameTF.setEditable(false);
        _wordCountTF.setEditable(false);

        JPanel content = new JPanel();
        content.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        content.add(new JLabel("File Name:" + newline));
        content.add(_fileNameTF);
        content.add(new JLabel(newline + "Preview:"));


        JMenuBar menubar  = new JMenuBar();
        JMenu    fileMenu = new JMenu("File");
        JMenuItem openItem = new JMenuItem("Open...");
        openItem.addActionListener(new OpenAction());

        menubar.add(fileMenu);
        fileMenu.add(openItem);

        this.setJMenuBar(menubar);
        this.setContentPane(content);
        this.setTitle("Select a Image File");
        this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        this.pack();                      // Layout components.
        this.setLocationRelativeTo(null); // Center window.
    }
    public static String fileimage;

    ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// OpenAction
    class OpenAction implements ActionListener {

		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {

            int retval = _fileChooser.showOpenDialog(ImageBrowser.this);
            if (retval == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {

                File file = _fileChooser.getSelectedFile();


                _fileNameTF.setText(file.getName());
                File filetemp = _fileChooser.getSelectedFile();
                String fileimage = filetemp.getName();
            }

        }
    }
  
    //========================================================= main
    static String path = fileimage;
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
        JFrame window = new ImageBrowser();
        window.setVisible(true);
        BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File(path));
        ImageBrowser test = new ImageBrowser(image);

        window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        window.add(new JScrollPane(test));
        window.setSize(400,400);
        window.setLocation(200,200);
        window.setVisible(true);
    }
    private static void showIcon(BufferedImage image) {
        ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(image);
        JLabel label = new JLabel(icon, JLabel.CENTER);
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, label, "icon", -1);
    }
    BufferedImage image;
    Dimension size = new Dimension();

    public ImageBrowser(BufferedImage image) {
        this.image = image;
        size.setSize(image.getWidth(), image.getHeight());
    }
    static String imgfile = fileimage;

    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        int x = (getWidth() - size.width)/2;
        int y = (getHeight() - size.height)/2;
        g.drawImage(image, x, y, this);
    }

    public Dimension getPreferredSize() { return size; }

Can you define what you mean by "browsing a png file"?

press a button, and the browser will open up, you click a .png, edit it,

In what environment are you operating?
Where is the button? How is the HTML fed to the browser display a png image. How is that image linked to an editor?

-removed- _ _

[petur170]

I use windows 7.
By browsing for .png files i mean file browsing like this:
And i think you know what .png files are :)

[Norm]

Sorry I'm C# illiterate.
Yes I'm familiar with png files.

Not sure what "browsing" an image means? Is it showing the pixel values at an x,y location?
And how a browser comes into it? Can you explain that?

[petur170]

I meant to say file browsing >.< sorry

[Norm]

There is the JFileChooser class for selecting a file.

[petur170]

Okay so i got his code
[spoiler]

package DesaturateApplet;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class ImageBrowser extends JFrame {

    JTextField   _fileNameTF  = new JTextField(15);
    JTextField   _wordCountTF = new JTextField(4);
    JFileChooser _fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
    //ImageDisplay png = new ImageDisplay(_fileNameTF);
 
    ImageBrowser() {
   
        _fileNameTF.setEditable(false);
        _wordCountTF.setEditable(false);



  
        JPanel content = new JPanel();
        content.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        content.add(new JLabel("File Name:"));
        content.add(_fileNameTF);
        content.add(new JLabel("Preview:"));
        content.add(ImageDisplay(_fileNameTF));

        JMenuBar menubar  = new JMenuBar();
        JMenu    fileMenu = new JMenu("File");
        JMenuItem openItem = new JMenuItem("Open...");
        openItem.addActionListener(new OpenAction());

       
        menubar.add(fileMenu);
        fileMenu.add(openItem);


        this.setJMenuBar(menubar);
        this.setContentPane(content);
        this.setTitle("Select a Image File");
        this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        this.pack();                   
        this.setLocationRelativeTo(null); 
    }

    class OpenAction implements ActionListener {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
      
            int retval = _fileChooser.showOpenDialog(ImageBrowser.this);
            if (retval == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
            
                File file = _fileChooser.getSelectedFile();

      
                _fileNameTF.setText(file.getName());
            }
        }
    }

    //========================================================= main
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame window = new ImageBrowser();
        window.setVisible(true);
    }
	
}

[/spoiler]
And it works, but i cant get it to display the image. Here's the small part that's supposed to display an image:

        JPanel content = new JPanel();
        content.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        content.add(new JLabel("File Name:"));
        content.add(_fileNameTF);
        content.add(new JLabel("Preview:"));
        content.add(ImageDisplay(_fileNameTF));

Thanks

What is ImageDisplay? It appears to be a method.

[petur170]

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
import java.io.*;

public class ImageDisplay extends JPanel
{

	private String path;
 

	private Image img;
 
	public ImageDisplay(String path)	 throws IOException
	{

		this.path = path;	
 
	
		img = ImageIO.read(new File(path));
 
	}
 

	public void paint(Graphics g)
	{

		if( img != null)
			g.drawImage(img,0,0, this);
	}
 
}

:)

[Norm]

it works, but

The code you posted does NOT compile.
What do you mean by "it works"?

There are lots of examples of how to display images on the forum. For example Search for ImageIO.read for some.

[petur170]

Well, i need it to display the image i loaded from the file browser

[Norm]

The code as posted does not compile! It won't execute and display anything if it doesn't first compile.

[petur170]

I'm using eclipse (you can test in eclipse)

[Norm]

That's fine. What problem are you having? Do you get errors or what happens with your code.
The code you post will NOT compile for me!!!

[petur170]

Here's the error i get:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: 
	The method ImageDisplay(JTextField) is undefined for the type ImageBrowser

	at DesaturateApplet.ImageBrowser.<init>(ImageBrowser.java:33)
	at DesaturateApplet.ImageBrowser.main(ImageBrowser.java:96)

[Norm]

The method ImageDisplay(JTextField) is undefined for the type ImageBrowser

The syntax for that statement, as I mentioned in post #9, is how you call a method.
What is the statement where the error occured supposed to do?

How long have you been trying to write a Java program? Is this your first one?

[petur170]

This is my second, My first was a simple bank account thing.

The line with the error is line 6 on the bottom code in post #10.

It is supposed to display an image right below the text "Preview:"

[Norm]

Look at the syntax of the statement. It is a method call, but there is no method with that name.
What did you expect that statement to do?

[petur170]

oohh i see. The method is in a different class. Its supposed to draw an image from a directory (string). Is there a way i can call the method from the class (ImageDisplay)
