Java Swing Programs and Questions

2.1 Introduction to Swing


Swing is a part of Java Foundation Classes (JFC) that provides a rich set of GUI components.
Swing is built on top of AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit) and is entirely written in Java.

Features of Swing:
1. Platform-independent
2. Lightweight components
3. Supports MVC architecture
4. Pluggable look and feel

Difference between AWT and Swing:


- AWT is heavyweight; Swing is lightweight.
- AWT components rely on OS; Swing components are written in Java.
- Swing provides more flexible and advanced UI components.

2.2 Swing Components


Basic Swing components include JApplet, Icons, Labels, TextFields, and ComboBoxes.

Example 1: Creating a JFrame with a JLabel:


```java
import javax.swing.*;
public class LabelExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Label Example");
JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello, Swing!");
frame.add(label);
frame.setSize(300, 200);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
```

2.3 Buttons
Swing provides various buttons like JButton, JCheckBox, and JRadioButton.
Example 2: Creating JButton and adding ActionListener:
```java
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ButtonExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Button Example");
JButton button = new JButton("Click Me");
button.addActionListener(e -> JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Button Clicked!"));
frame.add(button);
frame.setSize(300, 200);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
```

2.4 Advanced Swing Components


Swing provides advanced components like JTabbedPane, JScrollPane, JTree, JTable,
JProgressBar, and ToolTips.

Example 3: Creating JTabbedPane:


```java
import javax.swing.*;
public class TabbedPaneExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("TabbedPane Example");
JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
tabbedPane.add("Tab 1", new JLabel("This is Tab 1"));
tabbedPane.add("Tab 2", new JLabel("This is Tab 2"));
frame.add(tabbedPane);
frame.setSize(400, 300);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
```
2.5 MVC Architecture
Swing follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture, which separates UI logic (View), data
(Model), and control logic (Controller).

Example 4: Simple MVC in Swing:


```java
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

// Model
class Counter {
private int count = 0;
public int getCount() { return count; }
public void increment() { count++; }
}

// View
class CounterView extends JFrame {
JButton button = new JButton("Increment");
JLabel label = new JLabel("Count: 0");

CounterView() {
setLayout(new java.awt.FlowLayout());
add(label);
add(button);
setSize(200, 150);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}

public void updateCount(int count) {


label.setText("Count: " + count);
}
}

// Controller
class CounterController {
Counter model;
CounterView view;

CounterController(Counter model, CounterView view) {


this.model = model;
this.view = view;

view.button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
model.increment();
view.updateCount(model.getCount());
}
});
}
}

public class MVCExample {


public static void main(String[] args) {
Counter model = new Counter();
CounterView view = new CounterView();
new CounterController(model, view);
view.setVisible(true);
}
}
```
