Error! "filename" is not abstract and does not override abstract method...

[hasani6leap]

I'm trying to create a simple GUI with swing I get compilation error..
"Tempconverter is not absract and does not override absract method actionPerformed (java.awt.event.ActionEvent) in (java.awt.event.ActionListener).

This is my code


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

public class Tempconverter extends JFrame implements ActionListener{

//actionlistener is in event sub package
JTextField celcius;
JButton convert;
JTextField farenhite;





Tempconverter(){

celcius =new JTextField (15);
farenhite=new JTextField (15);
convert=new JButton("convert");

//Insert Layout manager to arrange the componetes
setLayout(new FlowLayout());

//if the 'convert' button is pushed the button informs the same object
//this is the reference to the same object
convert.ActionListener(this);
//adding components to the pane
getContentPane().add(celcius);
getContentPane().add(convert);
getContentPane().add(farenhite);

}


public void actionPerfomed(ActionEvent ev){

int value=Integer.parseInt(celcius.getText());
int far=(value*9/5)+32;
farenhite.setText(Integer.toString(far));
}


public static void main( String args[]){

Tempconverter tc=new Tempconverter();
tc.setSize(500,500);
tc.setVisible(true);


}
}
Thankx

If that's truly a copy of your code then your problem is a simple typo

you wrote:

public void actionPerfomed(ActionEvent ev){

it should be:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ev){

i.e. you missed the second 'r' in action Performed

You must override the method it's telling you to override. And as jelly pointed out, that's why(simple mistake - we all make them).

Hello hasani6leap.

Every programmer has made a typo once. In my opinion, if you type less you make less typing mistakes. Today, a programmer does not have to type out everything. Many IDEs provide shortcuts by giving you a list of methods, code snippets and more to complete code for you. For example, NetBeans can create method definitions for methods that you still need to implement, if you press ctrl+space and choose the correct method. (shown with "-implement") Try looking into this. It might help.

I pasted all the code in your post to a single java-file. I tried to run your code where the typo is fixed. However, I got the following error message:

Code:

Filename.java:24: cannot find symbol
symbol  : method ActionListener(Filename)
location: class javax.swing.JButton
        convert.ActionListener(this);
               ^
1 error

What does this error message mean?

1) He likely has a typo and it should have read:

Code:

convert.addActionListener(this);

2) What the heck are you doing answering threads that are months old? Hasan has likely moved on to more relevant issues. I suggest that you do the same.
