HELP with Phone Applet

Hi
I am making a NokiaPhone applet in Jbuilder. I want the phone applet to look like the actual phone. I have a menu Button just like we have on the phone keypad. I want that when the user clicks on the menu button the menu should show up in the textarea that i have made. I want menu items like phonebook, games, clock to show up. I dunno how to display that in the text area one below the other. Can somebody please help???
Thanx
Sugar

Maybe something like this:
menuArray = { "phonebook"," games", "clock" };
for( int j = 0; j < menuArray.length; j++ ){
textArea.setText( menuArray[j] + "\n" );
}

  • Need help with advanced applet

    I need help with designing an applet as follows. Can someone give me a basic layout of code and material so i can fill in the rest or at leats give me some hints so i can get started since i am like no good at applets.
    Design and implement an applet that graphically displays the processing
    of a selection sort. Use bars of various heights to represent
    the values being sorted. Display the set of bars after each swap. Put
    a delay in the processing of the sort to give the human observer a
    chance to see how the order of the values changes.
    heres a website that does something similar

    My example given before should work on different machines, try to export the server key and import it into the
    client keystore. Export the client key and import in the server keystore if you want the server to authenticate
    the client.

    Check the method getSSLSocketFactory in the applet, that will open a keystore for you.

  • Help with java applets

    Ok i know i haven't read the applet tutorial or had much experience with applets but just hear me out and see if you can help me.
    BACKGROUND
    Ok...so i have previously viewed an applet on windows viewing an html file on my computer. I am trying to view just the most simple applet (helloworld) on linux. I'm using Ubuntu linux, the latest version as of February 23, 2006.I created an applet file and an html file in the same directory with the html file having an <applet> tag in it linking to the HelloWorldApp. I have tried viewing the html file and the java applet won't load. Everything other than the applet worked and I'm just stuck.
    So my plea is would somebody please just paste the bare minimum html file and applet file that you can see an applet with? I want to learn about applets and will do the tutorial but I would really like to just see one.
    Please help,
    A frustrated applet noob
    p.s.
    According to java.com I have installed JRE 5.0 and i have compiled a java application so I'm pretty sure I have successfully installed JDK 5.0.

    Bob, what web browser are you using?
    Make sure that the browser supports Java applets.
    If you want just to debug your applet try appletviewer utility
    from JDK first.

  • Help with simple applet - dragging box

    Hi I need help with a simple applet concept.
    I have a picture drawn in the background, but I need to draw a square and resize it when I drag.
    So with the picture in the background I click, drag the mouse, and it draws a rectangle from the starting point to where the mouse is while the mouse is clicked.
    The only problem is I can't figure out how to do this without redrawing the whole picture. If I don't repaint, it just keeps stretching around rectangles and leaving them there.
    I don't really need exact code, just an idea on how to do this without repainting the background every time the mouse is moved (because the picture in the background is complicated to draw and takes like a second).
    Thanks
    [nvm, found out about xormode]

    ..the picture in the background is complicated to draw and takes like a second).Paint the 'picture in the background' to a BufferedImage, then when it comes to paint()/paintComponent(), draw the BI to the Graphics object (clipped, if necessary (1)), then draw the rectangle to the Graphics object. This would be further optimised at time of rendering, by drawing both the 'picture in the background' BI and rectangle to a second BI, and finally writing that 2nd BI to the Graphics object.
    1) There are potentially other improvements that can be made, particularly with clipping, but I suspect if you try as I suggested, the rendering will be very quick and responsive. I have 40 FPS sound trace animations that do a great deal more on each call to paintComponent(), before bursting the final BI to screen.

  • Help with phone line in new home

    I hope someone can help me.
    I have moved into a new rental flat. There is a telephone socket and the phone still works. I was able to get the number by calling my mobile.
    However, how do I find out who this is connected to?   Although it is not in my name someone is either going to get a bill at somepoint or a company will be out of pocket.
    If I cannot find out who it is connected to, how do I trasnfer it?
    I also, only want to get internet access, but if I am required to set up a new telephone, can I only do this with BT? Some years ago I got stung by setting up a phone acount with BT and getting my internet through another provider a day later who transferred the phone line and I ended up having to pay BT a full years contract.  How do I avoid this?
    Very grateful for assistance.

    sky use 150 as well so they may well answer the call?

  • Need help with Java applet, might need NetBeans URL

    I posted the below question. It was never answered, only I was told to post to the NetBeans help forum. Yet I don't see any such forum on this site. Can someone tell me where the NetBeans help forum is located (URL).
    Here is my original question:
    I have some Java source code from a book that I want to compile. The name of the file is HashTest.java. In order to compile and run this Java program I created a project in the NetBeans IDE named javaapplication16, and I created a class named HashTest. Once the project was created, I cut and pasted the below source code into my java file that was default created for HashTest.java.
    Now I can compile and build the project with no errors, but when I try and run it, I get a dialog box that says the following below (Ignore the [...])
    [..................Dialog Box......................................]
    Hash Test class wasn't found in JavaApplication16 project
    Select the main class:
    <No main classes found>
    [..................Dialog Box......................................]
    Does anyone know what the problem is here? Why won't the project run?

  • Help with refreshing applet

    If I recompile my applet and try to restart it in Netscape the changes do not take hold. I've tried refreshing and emptying the cache and even setting the cache to 0, but it won't run the new version of the program. The only way I can get it to work is to quit Netscape entirely, restart it, and start the Java program again. Why is this? And is there a way to get around this?
    And there is a a second related problem I have. My applet calls a CGI program and recieves html text in reply. This HTML text I display in a JEditorPane. The first time I run the program it displays it nicely, but everytime after that it displays the HTML commands mixed in with the text, i.e. "<TABLE><TR><TD>text" instead of a table.
    Does anyone know what causes this or how to prevent it?

    Thanks for the help again. I read the API myself and tried adding the new line, but it had no affect. I tried this:
    ResultsDisplay.getEditorKit().createDefaultDocument();
    ResultsDisplay.setContentType("text/html");               
    ResultsDisplay.setText(inputStore.toString());and even this:
    ResultsDisplay = new javax.swing.JEditorPane();
    ResultsDisplay.getEditorKit().createDefaultDocument();
    ResultsDisplay.setContentType("text/html");
    ResultsDisplay.setText(inputStore.toString());But neither solution fixed it.

  • Need help with an applet that will only run as an application

    I am working on a slide show applet. The problem is that is won't run as an applet. I added a quite standard main method to stick the applet in a JFrame and this worked. I believe that the problem lies in how I am trying to open the files.
    here are two of the methods that I believe contain part of the problem
         private void showImage( String image_name )
              image_file = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage( image_name );
              display_image.loadImage( image_file );
              repaint();
         private void setFileFolder( String folder )
              file_finder = new File( folder );
              file_results = file_finder.list();
         }image_file is an object of class Image, display_image is an object of class ImageComponent (extends JComponent to draw an image), and file_finder and file_results are both objects of class File
    I would greatly appreciate it if some one would help me with this.
    The full source can be found at http://www.geocities.com/enchantedforest/3688/ImSP.zip

    Ok. I got the image loading to work.
    Now how do I fix the second method shown in my first post? It is needed to find all of the images in one specific folder so that the slide show can run.

    Hi,
    First advice imagereadingapplet -> ImageReadingApplet (Java name convention).
    Second image file name is hard coded so you don't have to set param for the applet (Best would be not to hard code this name).
    Finally maybe the most interesting, It seems that image kollam.gif is not at root folder.
    I don't really know netbeans but your image must be in bin folder, the same as imagereadingapplet.class.

  • Help with phone decisions

    I am new in this forum and you guys may have discussed this already, but I am so confused and have received so many conflicted answers, including from the Skype customer service that didn't really understand my question, that I got a migraine. I am therefore asking for your indulgence and would greatly appreciate your help.
    Here is my current situation: I make many calls abroad to tons of different countries. I've had a VOIP landline with lingo.com for the past 5 years. I am very happy with them, they are cheap, and they covered my needs. I didn't see the need to have a cell phone, except from cases of emergency or for travel, in which case, I have a "dumb" phone with AT&T Go Phone, which costs me $100 a year for 50 days of talk, i.e. charging $2 for one day use. So far, I've been supremely happy with these choices because my phone bill came to $600 a year tops, not to mention that if I ever called foreign cell phones, Lingo would charge me automatically without me having to buy credit.
    Now recently I discovered that it wouldn't be a bad idea if I were more mobile and also had internet on the go because I sometimes need it and, when I travel, it's not a great idea to always look for a McDonalds to stop and use their free wi-fi. Additionally, my home internet sometimes goes offline, and I don't like not having a phone or rely on the prepaid cellphone, whose battery I may or may not have charged, or which may or may not have credit. I am therefore considering the following configuration:
    1) I cancel Lingo. COMPLETELY. I don't have a landline any more. The End.
    2) I get a Samsung Galaxy S4 through T-Mobile for $50 a month (including 500 MB data) or $60 a month (including an additional 2 GB of data).
    3) I get a Skype Unlimited World subscription for $147 a year (I think) AND a Skype number. I can use the Skype number for international calls and I presume it will ring on my cell phone if someone calls me without a problem. 
    My question now is this: I happen to like the idea of my existing cordless phone at home with its four headsets. I would therefore like to retain those and NOT buy new phones or rely on my cell alone. I therefore don't want to buy a Skype dedicated cordless phone from the Skype website. I heard that there are adapters out there that convert traditional cordless phones that people use for landlines into Skype phones.
    Is this true? Do you know which one is good? Will there be any issues using it? Above all, do I need to have a landline in order to use a cordless phone with Skype? As I said, I want to cancer my existing Lingo landline, so all I want to keep is Skype and of course my new cell phone.
    Again, I would be most grateful for any help you may offer me because I am going crazy with all conflicting answers and for some reason some people don't seem to understand my questions. Thanks.

    I have not had a landline for years.  I started with a dedicated PC with a USB Skype adapter (my backup) and moved to a Freetalk Connect Me.  The Connect Me device is an all-in-one replacement that allows me to be signed into Skype and use my home phone.  I tied this into my house phone wiring and have my Panasonic wireless DECT 6.0 basestation plugged into one of the jacks.  Some people use a dedicated Skype account for their phone whereas I just have the one account.  When someone rings me all my computers ring as well as my house phone.  I did have one Freetalk Connect Me fail on me (in 1.5 years)  but the replacement is much cheaper than buying a dedicated cordless phone.  Some people have claimed the phone quality is terrible.  I have been pleased with the quality overall, and the speakerphone option on my handset resolves issues when I dial into other VOIP systems that are low volume.
    So basically you need:
    A Skype ATA adapter like the Freetalk Connect Me ($60) which needs a traditional Skype ID
    The Unlimited World Plan ($14 a month = $168 a year unless there is a 1 year plan promo for cheaper)
    A Skype online number  ($30 a year if you have a subscription, so buy the subscription first)
    You existing phone handset and Internet.
    I still have a cell phone for emergencies and other uses.  Be aware once  you commit to a phone number you can't change it until the online number subscription is up.  You can however add another phone number to the account for the same price.  So it may be best to chose a number that is local for most your contacts or family members no matter where you are.  
    Make sure the Unlimited World Plan works for you.  Most of the subscriptions do not include mobiles and special numbers in all countries.   Those calls will require credit and raise your Skype costs considerably (like 30 cents+ a minute, etc.).  You can set your Skype credit to auto-charge if you are looking for a method of auto-payment for non-covered calls .   So while it doesn't bill you for the call specifically, it bills you (indirectly) for a block of Skype credit.  It can be real hard to impossible to get refunded/partially refunded for services so you can always pay by the month/3 months to test the service out longer than a free trial, but it will be more expensive.  If you do try a free trial or if you are using a subscription, you can cancel it at anytime to avoid getting billed the following month.  Your service would continue until that month of service ends.  All the unlimited plans have a fair usage policy so in that sense they are limited.  Generally this means the average user won't reach the limit and those that do tend to be using the account for something other than personal use.

  • Help with phone recognizing new number

    I switched my phone number to another line on my plan and cancelled the previous line.  The CSR told me that everything worked fine, and if I powered my phone off and back on my phone would be updated with the new number.  Well I hung up with her, powered my phone off and on, and under my phone number in settings it still says the old number. So I logged in online and my phone shows its with the number I switched it to so that's correct.  I even powered it off and took the sim card out and put it back in and it stil wont recoginze the new number. Now I can't call the CSR back for help because it's the only phone I have and it says I'm roaming.  Please help! Thanks

  • Need help with phone repair service.

    Hi,
    I accidentally dropped my Nokia Lumia 520 mobile phone, it was functioning normally at first but then it just stopped working after a few days. The AllPhones store that I purchased the phone from had closed down, and the closest AllPhones to me also closed down.
    My phone's 1-Year Warranty has not ended yet, is there another way that I can get the phone repaired under its warranty?
    Regards,
    Anne

    Hi, AnneFatma.
    Welcome to the forum.
    What do you exactly mean when you say, "it just stopped working"? Does that mean, the phone is no longer turning on? Before sending it in, you can check these easy fixes first: http://www.nokia.com/us-en/support/product/lumia520/troubleshooter/ . 
    Note: The link is intended for the US. Otherwise, tell us your location so we can give you the correct link. 
    If the above troubleshooting steps did not work, you can look for the nearest Nokia Care Points located in your area using the links that were given by @farby.
    Note: If you can, back up your files to avoid data loss. It's also worth reading the: NOKIA MANUFACTURER’S LIMITED WARRANTY FOR NOKIA WITH WINDOWS PHONE to know which are and which are not covered by the warranty.
    Hope this helps.

  • Help with phone sync

    I am obviously completely stupid as for the second time I have been trying to sync my phone so I can keep my calendar on the computer and can not do it.  In fact I have been trying for the past few hours.
    I have uploaded the ovi store and have received the text and it says that I am only partly synced and that I need to go into my phone and select to connect with ovi.com- but when I go into the devices available I only have mobiles.
    What am I doing wrong- surely it can't be that hard- any help appreciated!

    Hi, assuming you have an Ovi account, go to Ovi.com and sign in (on your PC) go to contact or calendar on the tool bar at the top and select, then set your device, then choose send settings, keep computer browser open, and you will get a txt messagefrom Ovi with sync settings, use the pass key from Ovi to open txt, Now ON PHONE go to settings-connectivity- and in your synchronise/data transfer options choose change sync profile, you will have Ovi.com as a choice now so choose it and sync, Just make sure you only have Contacts, Calendar and Notes ticked and then sync. These Items will now all be available in 'the cloud' and you can sync, restore even if you don't have the info on your pc.
    Hope this helps, you will probably get better instructions when you visit Ovi.com !
    Good Luck
