InputStream TextField

[taptaptill]

Hi everyone,
I want to show a variable type InputStream in a TextField
my code :

byte [] readbuffer = new byte [20];
                            try {
                                while (inputstream.available () > 0 )
                                {
                                    int nymBytes = inputstream.read(readbuffer);
                                }
                                String tr = new String(readbuffer);
                                Traffic.setText(tr);

Traffic is a textfield;
readbuffer is a Thread;

Traffic is a textfield

If you do not write a appropriate problem description you won't get help because no one understands what actually your problem is.
IF you say: "Hey I created a textfield, but it does not show up on my screen" the solution is completely different from "I created a text field, but the text I set to be in there does not appear in it", got it?
And again: "It does not work" is NOT an adequate problem description... though it may be true in all cases... ;)

Then if you have that you should post the code that does exactly what you wrote as a problem description - completely! I do not see any containing method above, not I see the class you wrote it in. Both might be vital to understand where the problem sits.

Furtermore - "readbuffer" is not a Thread, it is an Array, you declared it to be that ... 7 lines above... so as long as I do not see what you really have as code I can't tell you what is wrong.

ya u got it right my bad !.
so what I mean by it dosn't work is it dosn't show in the textfield & this is my code :

Are you sure the last thing you get as text is not an empty string from your stream?
Why do you add "Traffic" two times to groups?
Please keep to the naming convention - variables start not with caps.

[taptaptill]

I'm sure that what I'm getting is not an empty string because i tested it without the textfield and the stream shows so I don't know why it dosn't show on the textfield.
For the add Traffic that code was generated by netbeans so I don't know why either but what i see is all the components are added twice one for the VerticalGroup & one for the HorizontalGroup.

For what's worth : in the textfield I'm getting "COM1" or "COM2" as I change the Selected Item in the JComboBox.I tryed to find the code that do that but I can't seem to find it.

[Sierra]

It would be enough if the LAST chunk you have is an empty string, no matter what before. Try placing a static text in the "setText" method and see if that works.
e.g. if the last character you get in your while loop is a linefeed you wont see anything as you read and so overwrite the buffer.

while (inputstream.available () > 0 )
{
    int nymBytes = inputstream.read(readbuffer);
}
String tr = new String(readbuffer);
System.out.println(tr);
Traffic.setText("TEST"); // Traffic.setText(tr);

[taptaptill]

So thank you for the answers, but I call the "Traffic" from another class called TrafficSerialPort because it contains all the charts (Swing) in my program.
then this line is for anyone interrested:

TrafficSerialPort.Traffic.setText(tr);

Thanks again & till next time.

Why do you add "Traffic" two times to groups?

That's how GroupLayout works. Which is why many of use don't even read the code if it's been generated by a visual designer.
