JSpinner DateEditor problem

Hi,
I have a problem with the JSpinner. When I set a SpinnerDateModel into it, and not define the "full"(eg. MM/dd/yyyy HH: mm a) date format string, then the JSpinner or DateEditor reset the undefined part of time.
eg.
-If I not define in the date format string the date part "MM/dd/yyyy" then the JSpinner or the DateEditor is reset the date value of JSpinner to 1970,1,1
-If I not define in the date format string the time part "HH: mm a" then the JSpinner or the DateEditor is reset the time value of JSpinner to 12:00 AM
What can I do for not reset the not defined/showed/ part of the time?
thx.

The problem is in the format. The format supplied by the standard API does exactly what you described. The alternative is to create your own format or (better) your own formatter.
I ended up creating my own DateSpinner which is not too difficult.
Cheers,
Didier

Jspinner weird problem

Hi all,
I have this weird problem with Jspinners when I try to run this code. When I run it, the second spinner shows the date (while the first one only shows the time) and they are both larger than they are supposed to be (try resizing after it shows up)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Change TimeZone in JSpinner.DateEditor?

I'm trying to figure out how to set the TimeZone associated with a JSpinner.DateEditor. Looks like in 1.4.1 the local TimeZone only is used. In my app I need to use other time zones. I've been through the docs and the source code, but this functionality doesn't seem to be present. Anyone got any hints?

Reversing JSpinner / JSpinner.DateEditor

Hi,
I have implemented a JSpinner.DateEditor model with code similar to the following:
SpinnerDateModel startSDM;
startSDM = new SpinnerDateModel();
startSDM.setValue(new Date());
JSpinner startSpinner = new JSpinner(startSDM);
startSpinner.setEditor(new JSpinner.DateEditor( startSpinner, dateFormat));
startSpinner.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
// some unrelevant code...
myPanel.add(startSpinner);
startSpinner.setBounds(90, 30, 100, 20);It works fine. However, I feel that it would be more natural for the down arrow to increase the date, not the up arrow. Is there any way this can be easily achieved?
David.

override the metods getNextValue() and getPreviousValue()
of your SpinnerDateModel.
eg.
public Object getPrevionsValue(){
super.getNextValue();
/and vvI think you can override them directli in this line:
startSDM = new SpinnerDateModel();

JSpinner model problem

Hello,
I have an application which let you insert data of a music album. All this data goes into a database. One of the possible fields is the length of the album.
I thought about using a JSpinner and using a SpinnerDateModel but this gives me some problems.
To make it easy for the user i would like to enter the time in following format: mm:ss. But the problem here is that the minutes only goes to 59. But it should not be limited to 59, to make it the same as the time indicated on your music player. For example: 75minutes:24seconds.
Is this possible with a SpinnerDateModel? Or should I use something else?
Thx

If you need further help then you need to create a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.

JSpinner Using Problem

Hey guys, I'm new to the JAVA programming world and i have a little problem...
I read the API of the JSpinnerNumberModel but i don't know, using NetBeans, how to set the "only positivie values range" for the JSpinner...
I know is a noob question but i hope someone will help me...Thanks!!

According to this posting the OP has the answer:

JSpinner stateChanged Problem!!!!

Hello,
I have an Application where i am using one Jspinner and Jlist. From Jlist i am changing maximum value for the Jspinner. Here occures problem, When any Value changed in Jspinner it's call the method stateChanged().
But in method stateChanged i am doing another things, which doesnot gives me correct result.
Is there any way to prevent from the problem.Just want to know is ther any way that, when i change the maximum value from The jlist, it does not invoke method stateChange().
thank'x in Advance.

I use the setEnabled(boolean) method to achive this. Assume we have a JSpinner js, I need three lines of code js.setEnabled(false); //switch off firing of events
js.getModel().setValue(new Integer(whatever));
js.setEnabled(true); //switch on firing of eventsThis works for most classes that extend JComponent (JSlider, etc).

JSpinner problems with alignment of text

I experience problems with the alignment of the text within the spinner. I read a few topics on this forum. Many answers point to the solution of grabbing the JFormattedTextField from the spinner and call the setHorizontalAlignment(int) method. Seems hat doesn't work for me.
Here is the code I wrote:
SpinnerDateModel dateModel = new SpinnerDateModel();
JSpinner dateSpinner = new JSpinner(dateModel);
JSpinner.DateEditor dateEditor = (JSpinner.DateEditor)dateSpinner.getEditor();
JFormattedTextField tf = dateEditor.getTextField();
tf.setHorizontalAlignment(JFormattedTextField.RIGHT);
maybe I am missing something. Please help!
Thank You in advance.

I'm not sure if this is the solution, but the getTextField() Method should be called on a JSpinner, rather than a SpinnerDateModel. I took this Method from the Swing Tutorial and made it static, so i could use it anywhere:
public static JFormattedTextField getTextField(JSpinner spinner) {
          JComponent editor = spinner.getEditor();
          if (editor instanceof JSpinner.DefaultEditor) {
               return ((JSpinner.DefaultEditor)editor).getTextField();
          } else {
               System.err.println("Unexpected editor type: "
                                      + spinner.getEditor().getClass()
                                      + " isn't a descendant of DefaultEditor");
               return null;
     }Besides, setting an Editor for this JSpinner is not neccesary, because it is chosen automaticaly. You only need to do so if you have implemented a custom SpinnerModel.
Hope this was any help...

Problems in JSpinner

Hi,
I am trying to create timefield using JSpinner similar to TimeField in
Date/Time Properties dialog in Microsoft Windows. Here is the code i have
written
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
public class MySpinner {
JFormattedTextField tf;
public MySpinner(){
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Spinner");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(3);
final SpinnerDateModel model = new SpinnerDateModel();
JSpinner spinner = new JSpinner(model);
JSpinner.DateEditor editor = new JSpinner.DateEditor(spinner,"HH:ss:mm");
spinner.setEditor(editor);
tf =((JSpinner.DateEditor)spinner.getEditor()).getTextField();
tf.setEditable(true);
tf.setBackground(Color.white);
tf.setSelectionColor(Color.blue);
tf.setSelectedTextColor(Color.white);
DefaultFormatterFactory factory
=(DefaultFormatterFactory)tf.getFormatterFactory();
DateFormatter formatter = (DateFormatter)factory.getDefaultFormatter();
formatter.setAllowsInvalid(false);
frame.getContentPane().add(spinner, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
frame.pack();
frame.show();
public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception {
new MySpinner();
It works just fine when i use up/down keys or spinner at the right to change
the time. But when i try to
modify the time by editing the TimeField it is not behaving as expected.
I want it such that Timefield should allow user to change the time using
Spinner as well as by editing the
timefield. But it should not allow the user to enter invalid time.
Please give me your suggestions. Am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance.

Hi J�rg,
Thanks for your reply.
I wrote a standalone version simulating the problem I have and -- guess what -- it worked fine.
The only feasible difference between the two programs is that for the demo program I coded the layout and placement of the components myself, whereas with the problem code, I used IntelliJ's GUI builder, which uses its own layout manager. This must have something to do with the problem.
However, I have managed to botch a fix -- first I set the JSpinners' values to 0, THEN set them to the random numbers. Weird, but works.
Thanks again, though.
Regards.

How do I get the active field of DateEditor in JSpinner?

Hi Everybody,
I have a JSpinner which uses a DateEditor and displayes the date in "dd/MM/yyyy" format in it. I have over ridden the default behaviour of Up and Down arrow button components of it as per my requirements. Now I want to extend the functionality to change the value of the date on the basis of what is the highlighted field.
ie if the month is highlighted then the day and year need to
remain the same but month should increase.and if day is higlited it
shud follow the normal pattern and if year is highlighted the year should
move forward keeping the month and date same (no doubt after 12 months increment it is supposed to go to next year). Here is my code:

Simmi,
you need to check in SE11(data dictionary) with the specified tachnical names.
comming to selective deletion...
divide the data into segments based on the organizational values.
take the material group. check with any consultant. ask simple qustion how many material group we have?
take the case 5 mat1, mat2, mat3, mat4, mat5. Delete the values based on that. Menas that... entire infocube defined into 5 segments.
Before deleting make sure u have taken correct charecterstic. if you can give us the scenario we can let you know how can we delete the data with out effecting existing business process.
alll the best.

MaskFormatter with JSpinner and DateEditor?

Hi,
I'm trying to apply a MaskFormatter to the DateEditor on a JSpinner. We want the ability to both manually edit the fields by hand AND/OR click the up/down arrows.
The one gotcha is that when manually entering the values, we want to set a mask on the field so the user doesn't have to type in the ":" when separating the time fields. Right now, when they can delete all the text in the spinner textfield.
I've dug through the source code of JSpinner and it appears that I should be able to get the editors JFormattedTextField and set the MaskFormatter as part of the AbstractFormatFactory. But all I end up with is a blank JSpinner and I can't type in the textfield.
Below is my code:

          f.setSize(250, 70);

               Date initDate = calendar.getTime();
               calendar.add(Calendar.YEAR, -100);

               e.printStackTrace();
}If you run the code, you'll just get an empty JSpinner and you can't do anything in the textfield even though it is enabled.
I'm running JDK.1.4.2_09 on Windows XP SP2
Has anyone used a MaskFormatter with a DateEditor on a JSpinner before?

How to display the values in JSpinner in format day:HH:mm

Hi All,
I want to know how can I display the values inside a JSpinner in the format day:HH:mm. Here the value of 'day' can be anything say from 0 to 365 and HH stand for hour and mm stands for minutes.
I tried to implement it using
mSpinner.setEditor(new JSpinner.DateEditor(mSpinner, "DD:HH:mm"));
but here the values of day was not proper. Please let me know if there is any standard format or how can I configure my own editor.
Thanks,
Rohit.

Hi,
It worked well for 112 as 112 comes under April month.. i.e. it will work properly for the range 91 to 120 as the current month is April and if we start counting from january 01 then for April month , the number of day will fall under range 91 to 120.
See, it will allow you to change the values beyond the limit (i.e. less than 91 or more than 120) but the real problem is that I used this spinner in the table and when I will try to save the value of spinner , then if the value of day in beyond the limit 91 to 120 then it will automatically changing in the range between 91 to 120.
I tried to use format DD:HH:mm ...... do I need to use any other format..

but here the values of day was not proper. Define "not proper". I just tried it and it displayed
day 112 for today which seems correct.
