Need Help on this one please

I'm a newbie so I hope I can explain my problem satisfactory. My problem at hand is that I have, lets say a (JFrame) main class that does most of the work, within this class I instantiated another class that extends JFrame and pass it a Vector. Within in this new JFrame the user can choose among multiple checkboxes which will be used to sort the Vector. Also, there are two buttons, one to close out without doing anything and the another to sort the array with the users choices. My problem is, how do I pass the sorted vector back to another method within the main class to be used? Thank you for your help in advance

Typically when you create an application it will contain a single JFrame. This is your main window and usually contains a menu, toolbar, etc. When you need additional information you would typically show a dialog. For example in Internet Explorer when you click on Tools / Internet Options you get a dialog which allows you to customize some options
Also, when the user presses the Sort button how will that call the one method
in the main JFrame I need to process the sorted vectorWhen you click the sort button you will have code that creates and displays the JDialog. Make this dialog "modal" so that execution in the main frame will be blocked until the dialog is closed. Then when the dialog closes code will continue executing after your dialog.setVisible(true), line of code in your action performed method.
The memory for the Vector is allocated in your JFrame when you create the Vector. Your main frame passes the Vector as a parameter to the JDialog. When the Vector is sorted your main frame stills has a reference to the Vector

    i have an array of integers, how do i get the unique instances of the integers in that array and save it in another array.
    i.e.
    array of integers:
    parent = {8, 7, 6, 8, 7, 7, 7, 7};result:
    roots[0] = 8
    roots[1] = 7
    roots[2] = 6i already finished the part in countin the number of unique instances in the array.

    i have an array of integers, how do i get the unique
    instances of the integers in that array and save it
    in another array.The best solution probably is to us a HashSet as has been suggested but there's another way you may consider if the integer range is limited.
    Say the integers are from 0 to 999. Then you create a boolean array of size 1000. Initially all elements are false. Then you loop through the integer array and use the integers to set the corresponding elements in the boolean array to true. Finally you loop through the boolean array and check which integers were present in the integer array.
    The above is the most efficient solution in many cases. It can easily be modified to count the number of times each integer is present.

  • Startup Screen Pixelated - I really need help on this one.

    15" Macbook Pro - Spring 2011
    My startup screen sometimes would be pixelated with the Apple logo and then would go to grey screen and do nothing... then I would be forced to shut down and power it up again. On two occasions, the bootup would have stripes on it. See photo.
    And then the occasional lockup while working on something would happen and I was forced to power it down. This would happen periodically and not every day.
    So... I had this problem a couple of months ago (for several months) and the Apple store kept my Macbook Pro for a few days and said there were reported no problems. They were clueless as to why I had the above screen show. They said... maybe it is a bad installation of the OS and that it got corrupted.
    So a couple of months later and I am now I am having the same issues again. But this time, I had bought another HD and installed Mountain Lion on it... and I have it connected via USB. I had used it several times before last night when I held the option key down to choose my startup disk to be the new HD via USB. Then I get this pixelated screen again, but this time it was at the startup disk screen. See Photo.
    It's like you have a car problem and you take it in to the shop only for it to not malfunction... I really need some guidance on this one. My AppleCare warranty just expired (was valid during my visit to the Apple Store)... And I am not a happy camper... I always use macs... and I teach everyone who has them how to use them.
    So to be clear... This is the same internal HD that I had when I took it to the Apple Store. (Lion)
    I installed Mountain Lion on a new HD connected via USB and have worked off of it for a few days with no problems, choosing it as a startup disk.
    Last night booting with the option key held down I get this pixelated screen, whereas before it was never pixelated holding the option key down.
    So I have a couple of questions:
    Is the Boot Screen above run by the motherboard or the HD? If it is the MB, then I need to talk with Apple again.
    Does anyone have any clue what is happening?I have reset my PRAM and switched out my RAM.
    If this screen is run by the same HD in the laptop, then maybe I just need to take it out....?
    I would appreciate any genius expertise. I am a little frustrated that I am having this problem and cannot narrow it down. I use my laptop extensively for presentation, graphics, and teaching and now I am afraid of it.

    Your 10.7 EFI may be corrupted.
    The way a Mac works is EFI is updated via Software Update, it's written to the OS X partiiton, then gets loaded into the hidden EFI partition and read/used upon the second boot.
    So it takes two reboots to load EFI and goes into the EPROM boot memory.
    My terminolgy might be inaccurate as I didn't take a Apple course for certification, but I understand a little about the boot stage from my Linux on Mac experience.
    If your 10.7 EFI is corrupted on one drive, and you've got a 10.8 clean EFI on another, then it takes two reboots from the same drive to clear and use it's EFI into boot memory.
    So if you've booted 10.7, then option booted to use 10.8, it could be the corrupted 10.7 EFI still in memory.
    The way to fix the corrupted 10.7 EFI partition is a total wipe and format of the entire drive to catch the hidden EFI parition, then install 10.7 fresh and update.
    Of course Apple made this difficult with Recovery Partition which won't allow a complete drive erase.
    However you can do this
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/08/lion-recovery-disk-assistant-tool-makes-external- lion-boot-recovery-drives/
    There is also a way to install EFI firmware from a cd, however I don't know where it goes, reboot the 10.7 drive twice anyway
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL77
    Since your out of warrantly, you might want ot just go ahead and repalce the internal drive and see if that fixes the problem.

  • I really need help on this one.

    Hello:
    When I first purchased my iPod nano a little over two years ago, I was able to download my itunes which amounted to about 400 songs. The capacity of this ipod is 4Gb. I restored it and downloaded 46 songs. It shows that I have only 1.5 Gb left. This doesn't make sense to me because it is much less than what I had before. Even with 400 songs, I had about 1.5 Gb left when it was new. It seems to me something is wrong with the ipod as it doesn't seem to be compressing. Anyone have any ideas about this? Is there a program that I am able to download to solve this issue? Thank you for any help you can give.
    Best regards,
    Mel or zzmel

    Thanks for your response. I don't know what the bit rate is. When I first got the nano, I was able to download in compressed format. For some reason I am unable to do that now and the few songs I have eats up a lot of memory. I have the latest iTunes and I tried to look into the options to see if there was anything that indicated compression. I could not find it. I have tried resetting the nano and cleared everything out. I again tried to transfer my library and the indicator showed that I have used about 1.5Gb and leaves me about 1.7Gb. I only have 42 songs on my nano. I wont even have 100 songs which will use all the memory or 3.7Gb. I must be doing something wrong and that is why I am seeking help. This never used to be this way. Thanks for your response.

  • REALLY need help on this one... befw11s4 w/ Xbox 360

    My system 2 PCs hard wired. 2 Printers wireless.  Running XP.  Also have Directv DVR and Xox 360.  Everything used to function correctly. Now DVR and XBox wont connect to BEFWS11 V2.  I have reset everything and started from scratch.  I have also disconnected everything from the LAN expect PC1 and Xbox.  The router appears to give it and IP address (shows up in DHCP table and on Xbox)  BUT  1- when I ping the address from my PC no response.  2 - when I run the test from XBox is says it gets IP address but can't see my computer.  I see very similar behavior from the DVR.  I did not change anything drastic that I am aware of.  I am at a loss - any experts out there.  I have turned off firewalls - no help.  This used to work and now does not.  On the Xbox I can't get either media sharing or Live to work.  I can get ping responses from 2 PCs and 2 printers on the netwrok, but not Xbox...
    I am stmped - any help out there?
    krammer

    Try assigning Ip addresses manually to the devices and check if you are able to communicate or not.

  • Another Videora Post- I just need help with this one problem, please!

    I am guessing that the best way to convert your videos to an iPod compatible format is Videora. It works lovely, except for one glitch. I notice that the audio is noticeably off when I play the video. Any solution on how to fix this? I would really appreciate it if anyone helped me out on this
      Windows XP  

    It is on both, I am thinking.. I tried it with a movie avi file, and it always comes out off.

  • Please I really need help with this one.

    Ok I have this problem where I hook my ipod up and it works fine connects and is recognized. However, when i start trying to move music to it or transfer information using it like a jump drive it suddenly disconnects. At this point it is no longer recognized by my computer unless I restart my computer. In device manager it shows up as an unknown device and when i check the status of it, it says no device drivers installed for this device. What could be the problem here?

  • Need help filling this object please!!!

    I need to fill shape 1 with a solid color. Shape 2 is what the object looks like when selected. Shape 3 is what happens when I try to fill it with color. I need it to stay within the boundaries shown on shape 1. Please help, I'm relatively new to Illustrator and cannot seem to find out what it is that is happening. I'm working in Illustrator CC.

    jbizzle,
    However I needed to redraw the object, and instead of lines I had to use rounded rectangles to create it.
    Can you reuse the outer shape that looks like part of an ellipse?
    If you can, you can start by recreating the top one as follows (Smart Guides are your friends):
    1) Select and copy the upper/outer elliptic shape to the front (Ctrl+C+F), then lock the original full shape;
    2) With the Line Segment Tool ClickDrag between the end Anchor Points of 1) (Smart Guides say anchor when you are there), then drag over the H value in the Transform palette and Ctrl+C to copy it;
    3) Click with the Ellipse Tool on the Artboard and insert the value divided by 2 for W and H, then cut it at the top and bottom Anchor Point, then delete the right half;
    4) Move the half circle on top of the lower left half circle shape as closely as possible, then select both the half circle and the outer ellipse, click the outer ellipse again and in the Align palette click Vertical Align Bottom;
    4) Create a copy of the half circle and move it up by its height, then ShiftDrag it to fit the upper right half circle shape as closely as possible;
    Now you should have the curved parts in place, and you only need the straight parts;
    5) With the Direct Selection Tool Click each pair of Anchor Points to be connected by straight segments and Ctrl+J to join them;
    Now you should have one clean path to fill. After that, you can rotate and move a copy.

  • Possibly corrupt prefs.js file. Need help with this file please.

    I've been having a problem with sending/receiving text messages in Yahoo Messenger and I think I've narrowed it to the prefs.js file in Firefox. I'm using Firefox 3.6.25 on Windows XP sp3. The Yahoo Messenger window would not open when the appropriate mobile phone link was clicked. I uninstalled/reinstalled flash without change. I cleared cache, etc., without change. I created a new Firefox profile and I was able to get the Yahoo Messenger window to open. When I copied the prefs.js file from the old profile to the new profile, I encountered the problem again. I opened the prefs.js file with wordpad and noticed that editing should occur in about:config in the currently running Firefox browser. I briefly compared the two about:config tabs from the working profile and the non-working profile. They were significantly different. How do I make a copy of one so that I can paste it into wordpad and make the editing of the other one easier? Where can I find information about the individual parameters and their settings?

    Hi,
    Please see [[http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries this.]
    [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config]
    You can try to '''Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults:''' and '''Make Changes and Restart''' in the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Firefox Safe Mode] start screen which would also hopefully solve the issue. You can also try to manually '''Reset''' to defaults the modified entries by right-clicking on the bold entries (user set) in about:config. Clicking on the '''Status''' column header would sort the entries between user set (modified) and the defaults.
    An easy way would be to create a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile] and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile?s=profile&r=1&e=sph&as=s copy/transfer the needed personal data] from the old profile and start using the new profile. You can then delete or troubleshoot the old proile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder another location (profile folder)] separate from its [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory folders/files]. A new profile would have the default Firefox settings in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window Options] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config], and usually would also be empty of '''Extensions''' and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' > '''Add-ons''', and their settings.

  • Really need help with this one!!

    hi all im posting here in the hope that some one can show me some light at the end of the tunnel as to my bb problem as its starting to get depressing now!
    long story short ive had bt bb for 4 weeks now and im paying for 8mg as thats the fastest my area can provide but my transfer speed is locked at 2mg maximum. countless phone calls later they said its a throughput issue and they will put a request in to reset my profile and everything will be fine. as i thought it didnt work. lots of phone calls later they said i had to wait 10 days after the request is put in for my speed to increase. waited 12 days and still nothing! more phone calls later they eventually sent an engineer round who said himself he cant see why my downloads are locked at 2 mg when after his own tests he said the line should be giving me at the very least a stable 6.5mg so he proceeded to put a request in of his own to a bt computer thats codenamed "rambo" to increase the speed to my house. he said i should see results after 4 hrs but in some rare cases its taken 72 hrs to kick in. so i ended up waiting 4 days and still **bleep** all. im so so sick of bt and all the **bleep** they are feeding me as they keep telling me every single time they say there gonna fix it that this time it will 100% fix my problem and it never does. really feel im being ripped off cos im paying for the top package in my area and im not getting anything anywhere near what i should be. can anyone please help with my problem it would be very much apreciated.
