Settings for AWT/Swing

Hi,
since I saw a lot of simmilar questions but could not find an answer to any of them, let's try a different approach.
Can anyone be so kind as to post a small source code that for example just opens a JOptionPane.showInputDialog or any other very small widget under Unix/Linux to show that JNI under Unix/Linux works with graphics. As long as I stay out of the graphics business, everything works fine, but whatever I try with Swing, I only get the frame and a rather nasty crash. (Java 1.3.1 - 1.4.2)
Important would be the compile flags for gcc used, since I think most problems arise from these.
John.

Being more specific...
These are the last lines I get when I run the program. I checked all the files and set read/write/execute rights of ALL files in the whole JRE path to user and group. So this can be ruled out.
[Dynamic-linking native method java.io.UnixFileSystem.setLastModifiedTime ... JNI]
[Dynamic-linking native method java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences.unlockFile0 ... JNI]
[Dynamic-linking native method java.lang.Shutdown.halt ... JNI]
Does anybody have a clue what to do?

Tutorial on AWT/Swing control flow

Greetings all,
Just wondering if any of you folks know of a good tutorial on AWT/Swing control flow? I'm doing some pretty complex stuff with a table whose editors call other windows and insert values into the table based on callback objects...weird stuff happening with loss of focus when the other windows come out, etc etc etc.
I have it working via a series of what I consider kludges, but I would really like to implement it cleanly, and it's looking like that's going to require understanding <ugh> <grin>
So it looks like it's time that I bit the bullet and got to grips with control flow in AWT/Swing. Is there a tutorial out there that could help me with this?
Many TIA

Let's take your word for it, but if you have the slightest doubt please consider the subject: EDT violation is a classic here.OK sure, but I really don't think I'm violating it. I avoid multi-threading like the plague, and only introduced it for my report writer because I wanted to have a little window advising the user that the report was in the process of being written.Raise your left hand and swear this report writer is not running when you experience the problem you describe! >o(
OK, this is just kidding, as per the rest of your description, it sounds reasonable now to assume that your problem is not related to EDT violation.
I'm doing some pretty complex stuff with a table whose editors call other windows and insert values into the table based on callback objects...This summary is a bit worrying, and I thought you would mention problems in the display of the table being edited. But you seem to refer to problems in other windows, or did I misunderstand?
Or do you mean, loss of focus in the editor still being edited? Can you please clarify what you do and what your problems are?
In particular, what does the other windows come out mean?OK, I was trying to be sparse with details because I didn't think they were relevant.Actually the worrying seems all the more justified, now that you have described it more extensively: I was afraid that you would raise other windows while editing, and that's the case. I know little of focus though...
I have a table in window A, one of whose columns has a custom editor which, when a cell in the column is double-clicked, registers itself with window B as a choice-listener (see later) then asks window B to come to the front. Window B, when the user performs a choice amongst the UI elements in there, fires a choice-event to its listener, i.e. the custom editor. At which point the editor saves away the chosen value (for use by getCellEditorValue()), sets the text in the cell appropriately, turns edit mode off via fireEditStopped(), and brings window A back to the front.
(...) once the custom editor asks window B to come to the front, the table in window A loses focus and when it is brought back to the front, the table's JScrollPane seems to have the focus (visually, it has the focus rectangle around it). Pressing the Tab key has no effect on focus; you have to use the mouse to focus something.I assume you have read the tutorial on using tables in Swing.
It contains an example where a custom editor is bringing up a dialog: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html#editor
AFAIK, the example does not suffer from focus problems.
What I am finding, and I reiterate this is new since I rewrote the windowing subsystem for the app (the custom editor was not changed in the rewrite), is that (...)Just what do you call "rewriting the windowing system" (just to rule out the possibility of something Ramboesque)?
I have no idea why this loss of focus is occurring, and I am at a loss to begin to figure it out. As I wrote above, I have a series of kludges which gets around the symptoms, but I would really rather figure it out and fix it.OK I admit I cannot tell what happens exactly, but:
1) instead of bringing window B to front, couldn't the editor bring up a dialog B (e.g. using JOptionPane.showXxxDialog() to bring up just the choice panel? The advantage is that it is more "synchronous", you can control when the window A's table model is updated.
2) what worries me too is that you update the model of the table being edited while you're editing one cell of it? Would it be possible, and make sense in your case, to update this model later (that is, post the model update as an invokeLater(...) call)? I don't see how seeing the table updating underneath helps the user editing its cell, but you may have your reasons.
What do you call flow control , or control flow in AWT/Swing?Basically, what I am after is something that will help me begin to understand/diagnose problems such as the above when they happen in my code. I am deeply averse to multi-threading (...) Things in my code were working, and that was enough for me.
But the above behaviour, and another weird behaviour I was having last week, which again I have solved with what I consider a kludge, and again which only began with my new windowing subsystem, have caused me to realise that it's time I really got to grips with this issue.Yes, when they say beware of threads when using Swing , nobody tells to not use threads! Just to be aware of how special Swing is with regards to threads (at least, compared to AWT, that didn't make such warning).
I would like, for example, to really deep-down understand exactly when listeners for AWT-Swing events get called. I don't really care so much when the events get put on the queue, but I do care when exactly my event handlers will be called. This will help me diagnose problems, I'm sure.Well they get called in the EDT, by some framework code that, in an infinite loop, does something along the lines of:
- pop next event from the event queue
- determine which is the target widget
- let the widget transform the event and send it to all registered listeners
Now with dialogs, things gets dimmer, because while a dialog is brought up (via a<tt>setVisible(true)</TT> call on the EDT, the EDT is indeed suspended, and a new event thread manages the events for the dialog).
I'm sorry I have no reference for that behavior, and my description is certainly blurry (and possibly wrong), but I don't think your problem is so much related to threading as I initially thought.
N.B.: Darryl's second link does features sequence diagrams that try to demonstrate what happen (in a specific example with asynchronous access, but you can derive the simpler, regular, working, from it).OK, yes I saw that diagram, I was offput by the asynchronicity but I will have another look tomorrow also. Thanks againDon't put too much hopes in there, indeed it's definitely not the kind of info I understand you're looking after.
Much luck all the same, and feel free to come back with your findings, or with more questions, about the initial subject (reference on event flow) and the specific problem (your focus issues with the editor).
I also cannot end this message without suggesting that you try to reproduce the problem with an SSCCE (http://sscce.org), that you could post here for us to try out. See this recent discussion about the multiple interests of this approach: {message:id=9587964}

Swing component for awt.canvas

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the equivalent SWING component for awt CANVAS. I need it because i need to display only Images (nothing else) on it. If anyone can tell how I can do it.

JPanel is the Swing-equivalent of java.awt.Canvas, but if you are just displaying images, you can use the JLabel class, which supports use of images as icons (see also ImageIcon class).

Size settings for swing components and resizing of a JFrame

Hi all!
I'd have the following question:
There is a JFrame, which content panel has the GridBagLayout. In some places on that layout's grid there are JScrollPanels (let's name each as "inner panel") with JTables in the view ports.
When user resizes the main JFrame, I'd like that all inner panels and corresponding tables would resize synchronously: if user enlarges the main JFrame, then the sizes of all those components should increase proportionally, when user makes the main JFrame smaller, then all the sizes should become proportionally less.
I am confused with the settings for max, min and preffered sizes for inner panels as well as for their JTables. I have read about those size attributes and tried to play with them, but I can't obtain the needed result :-/
Each inner panel has the "BOTH" value for the fill attribute in the GridBagLayout's constraints.
Might someone help me?
Thanks in advance!

Hmm...
The JPanel that contains all stuff is the JFrame's content pane...
The entire JFrame's content pane contains another panels (JScrollPanels), which are all set to fill all available space on the parent panel (JFrame's content pane) with "both" value of the "fill" attribute.
Should I put the only one JPanel on the JFrame's content pane and all other stuff at that additional JPanel...?

BackGround picture for a Swing application??

hi,
once I got a nice idea while watching some webpages. we can give a background picture for a webpage in <body> tag?
I want to do same thing for any Swing application. Currently I am working on that issue. Any suggestions are welcome!!

Multilanguage support for awt components..

hi all,
when i tried to use .setFont() method for awt componets like labels and buttons it is displayed as rectangles insted of showing the appropriate characters. actually i tried to set the font to "simsun" (unicode font for chinese). but it works fine for swing components.
how can we achieve that for awt without changing the font.properties file? or how can we insist to use the font.properties file supplied by us insted of default font.property file for that language?
can we run the application by putting our font.properties file which is meant to be used for only our application, in the current working folder insted of putting in javahome\jre\lib path?
thanks in advance..
regards
sojan

Hi Sojan,
first up, forget the notion of even tinkering with the font.properties file if you can. It's an old, outdated method of setting up the fonts that Sun doesn't even support any more. Use setFont() where you can, and die trying in the process! ;-)
One thing I would check is which font each AWT component currently thinks it has. It's easy enough to set the font system wide with Swing components, but I'm not sure if that capability extends to AWT components (I've certainly had trouble with it in various places in the past). While you've set up the Chinese font correctly, your AWT components might still be stuck with the Java default (Helvetica, or whatever it is, which is incapable of displaying Chinese), and hence displaying the rectangles because they don't know how to handle the foreign characters. You might need to set SimSun as the font for each of your AWT components individually at a worst-case scenario.
Hope that helps,
Martin Hughes

A new AWT/Swing?

I have a question for the community.
IMHO, and I am not alone, AWT/Swing have major flaws that really ought to be fixed. Probably, because the APIs themselves are seriously flawed, what is required is a replacement for Swing.
How would one go about proposing such a thing and getting Sun's support?
Specific issues:
1) A set of specific design rules should be codified, which all conforming components, layout managers, UIs, etc., should obey. Along with the rules, there should be automated tests, so that it could be confirmed whether components, layout managers, UIs, etc., work correctly.
Currently, Swing and 3rd party components often do not work well together, for reasons such as
a) Highly irrational behavior of layout managers. Currently, none of the AWT/Swing layout managers behave in a reasonable way under all circumstances, with the possible exception of BorderLayout. Also, layout managers use constraints in inconsistent ways, and they are ill-suited to control by GUI builders.
b) Failure to use minimumSize, preferredSize, and size consistently.
c) Inconsistent use of UIs. What is the division of responsibility between the UI, layout managers, L&F, and the main class(es)?
2) Software design rules. For example, there is currently at least one Swing class that alters its behavior depending on which container it is placed in. That violates basic principles of OO development. Perusing the AWT/Swing source code, you will find plenty of objectional coding practices. It seems that the pressure to maintain backwards compatibility has been a real impediment to "doing things right".
3) Performance. AWT/Swing are notorious for various performance problems, including
a) Non-linear CPU cost associated with building certain graphical data structures (combo-boxes, for one).
b) Layout managers that call getMinimumSize or getPreferredSize on child components multiple times. Currently, the layout managers are the CPU bottleneck in many AWT/Swing GUIs.
c) Some text components are almost unbelievably slow. Try scrolling a lot of text through a JTextArea and you will be disappointed.
d) The current validation logic is extremely complex, inefficient, and undocumented. I count approximately 15 basic API methods that affect how and when components are repainted. I defy ANYONE to explain how it all works. The typical result is that repaints occur FAR more often than is necessary.
A lot of optimization is required to fix these problems. That means automating tests, profiling, removing extra repaints, CPU bottlenecks, etc.
4) Excessive complexity of the APIs. For example, it seems that building practical tables and trees is harder than it should be. The APIs are complex and documentation obscure or lacking in detail. Also, the separation between model and view is often tainted. It shouldn't be necessary to do so much conversion between model and view indices, for example. A basic set of model classes should be shared by all components that use underlying data models. These model classes should support standard functionality such as filtering, sorting, etc.
5) No portable remote operation. Yes, I am familiar with SAWT (slow and buggy), and the possibility of using X11 remotely when the Java application is run on a *nix platform (slow over a high-latency network such as the Internet and unusable on Windows systems). There does not seem to be a usable, universal solution.
Yes, I am familiar with SWT. However, for a variety of reasons, I believe that the AWT approach is superior. SWT is more platform dependent and it has the X11 reverse-object-orientation in which child classes know about their parents. I have done some performance testing, which suggests that
1) SWT layout managers are faster than their corresponding AWT/Swing managers
2) Most other graphics, including 2D graphics, are faster in AWT/Swing than SWT.
I am sure that SWT encapsulates some good ideas. However, it seems that if the efficiency of validation and layouts could be improved, then AWT/Swing performance would be excellent, while maintaining OO and platform-independent characteristics.
Possibly, these issues could be worked out piecemeal. For example, a new, rational set of layout managers could be developed entirely independently.
Other issues, such as defining how UIs, L&F, and component classes should be architected, are going to be more problematic. Creating order in the current chaos will be difficult.
Any ideas?

As for proposing such a thing, you can always become a member of the Java Community Process Program (it's free for individual members): http://www.jcp.org/en/home/index. As a member you can post a Java Specification Request with your suggestions. If you want to operate on a smaller scale you can report bugs to the bug database.
As for getting Sun's support....well, good luck! :-)

Difference between AWT,Swing and swt

Hello,
I am giving a seminar about swing in which I need to point out differences between AWT,Swing and SWT(Software Widget Tool).
I have two questions:
1)I read that-A heavyweight component is one that is associated with its own native screen resource (commonly known as a peer). A lightweight component is one that "borrows" the screen resource of an ancestor-which makes it lighter.Can anybody explain What native screen resource is and how it is borrowed?
2)I read that SWT uses native widgets and how can it be better than swing?If it is in what way?

Use Swing for new projects. AWT is the rendering layer underneath Swing in many cases, and AWT provides utility things like Graphics. SWT is an alternative to Swing which used more native rendering, but actually with Java 6, Swing is using a lot of native rendering.
Fire up NetBeans and use Matisse. Build an application. Run it under Windows, and then under Linux, and then realize how great it is.

Hello All...
Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
Thanks!

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

HT4864 I am getting a triangle with an exclamation point next to my inbox...it says: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account "MobileMe" or try again. The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in

I can send but cannot recieve email
This is the messege I am gewtting:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “MobileMe” or try again.
The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
The server returned the error: Service temporarily unavailable

Also if I go to system preferences accounts and re-enter the password it fixes the glitch sometimes.

ITunes looses photo sync settings for Apple TV (1st gen.)

Since the update to the new Photo app on my Mac, iTunes forgets the photo sync settings for my Apple TV (1st. generation, 160 GB HDD).
Every time I open the photo section of the Apple TV sync settings, all the options are turned off. Then I mark a couple of albums and sync the Apple TV >> all album appear on the Apple TV.
But after closing and re-opening iTunes in the photo settings everything is unmarked again. So on every following sync the photos on the Apple TV are easily erased :-( Resync them to the Apple TV takes hours (>30'000 photos!).
All the other sync settings in iTunes remain intact.
Environment:
- MacBook Pro Retina 15" with the latest SW (Mac OS, iTunes, Photo App, etc.)
- Apple TV 1st gen 160 GB HDD

Restarting iTunes resolves the issue in the majority of cases, if it doesn't my second guess would be your security software.
What really seems strange here is that there have been no updates since well before Xmas, so after initially setting it up, the first update would have brought you right up to the most recent (and indeed the very last) .
Agh, how silly of me, I see it's iTunes you have updated.
If that's about all you've changed, you might want to try reinstalling iTunes and bonjour.

Different rich text/plain text settings for different accounts?

I use Mail for both my work email (MS Exchange) and my personal email (webmail/IMAP). Many of my coworkers use Outlook's rich text formatting options, so I need to have my work emails go out as rich text. However I'd like to have my personal emails go out as plain text.
I can set Mail to create new messages in plain text, but to reply in the same format of the original message. That takes care of everything EXCEPT when I compose a new message using my work address... in that case it goes out as plain text, and my coworkers complain that they can't use formatting, because their copies of Outlook are in turn configured to reply in the same format as the original message.
So ideally what I'd like is to have two different formatting settings for my two different accounts. Anyone know how this might be done? Any plugins, etc., that might accomplish this?

Since you are running Jaguar, Jaguar and Panther Mail do not support composing in HTML and this includes when forwarding a message received that was composed in HTML.
Since Jaguar and Panther Mail do not support composing or forwarding HTML, you can't embed images or photos in the message body anyway.
RTF with Tiger Mail is really HTML and although Tiger Mail does not include an HTML composer/editor, you can copy/paste HTML format from a web page and forward HTML received.
Images/photos and single page PDF attachments are revealed as inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default which cannot be turned off. This applies to received and sent messages which is not the same as being embedded. Embedded requires HTML and an embedded attachment is not a true attachment. All Mail.app versions render HTML received but you cannot attach a photo or image as embedded with Jaguar or Panther Mail so it doesn't matter if you use RTF or Plain Text in regards to photo/image or single page PDF attachments which appear as inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default regardless.
When you use Plain Text for message composition, the receiving mail client renders the text in whatever font the reader chooses.
IMO, everyone should use Plain Text for message composition. Messages would be boring to some but the majority if not all problems experienced with email would be eliminated if HTML was banned from message composition.

I just got my iPad, I have an iPod. When I go to put apps on my new ipad it says my apple ID Is disabled. I have reset the passwords. Somehow I have two id's? I've gone into settings for apps signed out and back in with the new p.w. I can't think of what else to do to get the disabled block off. Any ideas?? Thanks
