Need Help with alignment in JTextField

I am having problem with text alignment in JTextField.
I'm populating JTextfield with text pulled from database.
Text is too long to fit in the jtextfield and the alignment is set to the right rather than the left.
How can I set the alignment left, so that the first character of the string is shown?
I've tried setHorizontalAlignmnet(JTextField.LEFT) but no luck.
Can anyone help me in this.

Need help with aligning patterns

I’m having trouble aligning a pattern, and I think I’m missing some basic concept. I want to align a pattern to start at a particular point, but AI always seems to align it to the top left corner of the (page/artboard). I remember having this trouble in CS3, but I thought the problem had been addressed in CS5.
My pattern is 1 sqin., and I want to create a strip starting 1/2 in from the top and 1/2 in from the left hand edge of a page. According to the CS5 manual: “To adjust where all patterns in your artwork begin tiling, you can change the file’s ruler origin.” So I change the origin to (0.5in x, 0.5in y). But when I apply my pattern, it still aligns to the (0.0) origin.
For example, if this is the original pattern:
when I apply it to an area using (0.5, 0.5) as the origin, it gets applied like this:
I’ve looked through my preferences and the only thing I found that might affect this was the “Transform Pattern Tiles” parameter, but changing this didn’t have any effect.
What am I doing wrong? I can work around the problem in a couple of ways, but I don't want to go through extra steps if I don't have to.

Here is your problem:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
int tal1 = Integer.parseInt(t1.getText().trim()); // add the trim()
int tal2 = Integer.parseInt(t2.getText().trim()); // add the trim()
if(e.getSource() == b1){
    if(t1.getText().equals("") || t2.getText().equals(""))
      JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Mata in tal!");
    else{
      l3.setText("Resultat ");
      l4.setText(" " + (tal1+tal2));
}... Better ...
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) throws NumberFormatException {
String tala = t1.getText().trim();
String talb = t2.getText().trim();
if ( tala == null || "".equals(tala) || talb == null || "".equals(talb) ) {
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Mata in tal!");
    return();
int tal1 = Integer.parseInt(tala);
int tal2 = Integer.parseInt(talb);
if(e.getSource() == b1){
    l3.setText("Resultat ");
    l4.setText(" " + (tal1+tal2));
else if(e.getSource() == b2){
    int sub = tal1-tal2;
    l4.setText(" " + (sub));
else if(e.getSource() == b3){
    int multi = tal1*tal2;

Need help with my addressbook program

hi,
i need help with my program here. this one should works as:
- saves user input into a txt file
- displays name of the saved person on the jlist whenever i run the program
- displays info about the person when clicked via textboxes given by reading the txt file where the user inputs are
- should scroll when the list exceeds the listbox

}the only problem now is about how it should display the right info about the person whenever i click its name on the list.. something about file reading or something, i just cant figure it out.
and also about how to make it scroll once it exceeds the list.. i cant make it work, maybe something about wrong declaration..
thanks in advance..

Like said before, do one thing at a time. At startup, something like:
//put all the content in a list
ArrayList<String> lines = new ArrayList<String>();
while(String line=rand.readLine()!=null) {
    lines.add(line);
}If you follow the good advice to create a class to encapsulate the entries, you could populate a list of such entries like this:
static final int ENTRY_SIZE = 3;//you have 3 fields now, better to have a constant if that changes
ArrayList<Entry> entries = new ArrayList<Entry>();
for(int i=0; i<lines.size(); i+=ENTRY_SIZE) {
    Entry entry = new Entry(lines.get(i), lines.get(i+1), lines.get(i+2);
    entries.add(newEntry);
}You could also do both of the above in one run, but I think you will understand better what's happening if you do one thing at a time.
If you don't want to put the entries in an encapsulating class, you can still access this without looping:
int listStartIdx = <desired_entry_index>*ENTRY_SIZE;
String att1 = lines.get(listStartIdx).substring(1);
String att2 = lines.get(listStartIdx+1).substring(1);
String att3 = lines.get(listStartIdx+2).substring(1);

*5: Need help with this. what should my xslt look like to get the desired output???????????????*
any help or direction will be very much appreciated. Thank you_

I have below suggestions:
1. Please use code option given in message editor toolbar for posting any formatted content like XML, Java code snippet etc.
2. replace & in your source XML with _& a m p ;_ (Without spaces, I have put spaces to make it visible here).
3. I have modified your XSLT according output XML you have given. I am not sure what you want to do with some elements like <b>, <font>, <var> etc. change below XSLT as you require for these elements.
Modified XSLT:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
        <xsl:output method="xml"/>

Need Help with a getText method

Gday all,
I need help with a getText method, i need to extract text from a JTextField. Although this text then needs to converted to a double so that i can multiply a number that i have already specified. As you may of guessed that the text i need to extract already will be in a double format.e.g 0.1 or 0.0000004 etc
Thanks for your help
ps heres what i have already done its not very good though
ToBeConverted.getText();
( need help here)
double amount = (and here)
total = (amount*.621371192);
Converted.setText("= " + total);

Double.parseDouble( textField.getText() );

Need help with a recordset

I need some help with a recordset that selects a series of
vehicle makes that then show models when a make is selected. The
problem is when I select the make it shows a list of models like it
should, some of the make lists have five models and some have ten
or more. What I need help with is how to limit the list to just the
models and not include the "null" values. This makes my drop down
list have large empty spaces at the end of the options listed. The
query is as follows:
SELECT *
FROM saa.vehicle_make
WHERE make = '#FORM.select_make#'
Question # 2:
What can I add to this recordset so that I can search on just
the make alone without the model included. The submit includes both
of the make and model lists so that makes it tough to break up.
Here is the recordset:
SELECT make
FROM saa.vehicle_make
ORDER BY make ASC
Thanks
Shane

Sorry I guess I wasn't being clear. The lists work fine with
the present recordsets but I was trying to clean them up just a
little. I am using a table in mysql instead of an array for ease of
maintenance due to the high number of makes and models I am working
with.
For question number one I was looking for sql that allows me
to only show the models in the table for each make no matter how
many are in the row. Currently when I use the existing recordset I
get a long list of blank spaces as it is returning the "null"
fields also. I would like it to just show the models and stop at
the first null field.
For the second question I wanted to be able to submit the
form with just the make listed if someone wanted to see all Hondas
lets say. Not I have to select the make also so it limits the
return.
Thanks for all of the input
Shane

Need Help With D&D Program

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post questions on this forum but I can't find anywhere to talk to helpful people about programming.
I'm making a dnd interface for JComponents. So far I've made a simple program that has a Component that can be lifted from a container and braught to the glass pane then later moved to anywhere on the screen and dropped into the container below it. Here's where my problems come:
1) Rite now my 'Movable Component' is a JPanel which is just colored in. I want to either take a Graphic2d from a JComponent/Component and draw it on the JPanel or change the JPanel to the component I want to paint and disable the component.
The problem with getting the Graphics2d is that if the component isn't on the screen it doesn't make a graphic object. I tried messing with the ui delicate and overriding parental methods for paintComponent, repaint, and that repaintChildren(forget name) but I haven't had luck getting a good graphics object. I was thinking of, at the beginning of running the program, putting 1 of each component onto the screen for a second then removing it but I'd rather not. I'd also like to change the graphics dynamicly if someone stretches the component there dropping and what not.
The problem with disabling is that it changes some of the visual features of Components. I want to be able to update the Component myself to change how it looks and I don't want disabling to gray out components.
I mainly just dont want the components to do any of there normal fuctions. This is for a page builder, by the way.
Another problem I'm having is that mouseMotionListener is allowing me to select 2 components that are on top of one another when there edges are near each other. I don't know if theres a fix to this other than changing the Java Class.
My next problem is a drop layout manager, but I'm doing pretty good with that rite now. It'll problem just move components out of the way of the falling component.
One last thing I need help with is that I don't want the object that's being carried to go across the menu bar and certain areas. When I'm having the object being carried I have it braught up to the glass pane which allows it to move anywhere. Does anyone have any idea how I could prevent the component from being over the menu bars and other objects? I might have to make 1 panel is the movable area that can then be broken down into the 'component bank', 'building page' and whatever else I'm gonna need.
This is all just test code to get together for when I make the real program but I need to make sure it'll be possible without a lot of hacking of code.
Sorry for the length. Thanks for any help you can give.

The trick to making viewable components that have no behaviour, is to render them onto an image of some sort (eg a BufferedImage). You can then display the Image on a JLabel that can be dragged around the desktop.
Here is a piece of code that does the component rendering for you. This particular example uses a fixed component size, but you can modify that as you choose of course...public class JComponentImage
     private static GraphicsConfiguration gConfig;
     private static Dimension compSize = new Dimension(80, 22);
     private static Image image = null;
     public static Image getImage(Class objectClass)
          if (gConfig == null)
               GraphicsEnvironment gEnv = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
               GraphicsDevice gDevice = gEnv.getDefaultScreenDevice();
               gConfig = gDevice.getDefaultConfiguration();
          image = gConfig.createCompatibleImage(compSize.width, compSize.height);
          JComponent jc = (JComponent) ObjectFactory.instantiate(objectClass);
          jc.setSize(compSize);
          Graphics g = image.getGraphics();
          g.setColor(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
          g.fillRect(0, 0, compSize.width, compSize.height);
          g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
          jc.paint(g);
          return image;
}And here is the class that makes the dragable JLabel using the class above...public class Dragable extends JLabel
     private static DragSource dragSource = DragSource.getDefaultDragSource();
     private static DragGestureListener dgl = new DragMoveGestureListener();
     private static TransferHandler th = new ObjectTransferHandler();
     private Class compClass;
     private Image image;
     Dragable(Class compClass)
          this.compClass = compClass;
          image = JComponentImage.getImage(compClass);
          setIcon(new ImageIcon(image));
          setTransferHandler(th);
          dragSource.createDefaultDragGestureRecognizer(this,
                                                      DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY,
                                                      dgl);
     public Class getCompClass()
          return compClass;
}Oh and here is ObjectFactory which simply instantiates Objects of a given class and sets their text to their classname (very crudely)...public class ObjectFactory
     public static Object instantiate(Class objectClass)
          Object o = null;
          try
               o = objectClass.newInstance();
          catch (Exception e)
               System.out.println("ObjectFactory#instantiate: " + e);
          String name = objectClass.getName();
          int lastDot = name.lastIndexOf('.');
          name = name.substring(lastDot + 1);
          if (o instanceof JLabel)
               ((JLabel)o).setText(name);
          if (o instanceof JButton)
               ((JButton)o).setText(name);
          if (o instanceof JTextComponent)
               ((JTextComponent)o).setText(name);
          return o;
}Two more classes required by this codepublic class ObjectTransferHandler extends TransferHandler {
     private static DataFlavor df;
      * Constructor for ObjectTransferHandler.
     public ObjectTransferHandler() {
          super();
          try {
               df = new DataFlavor(DataFlavor.javaJVMLocalObjectMimeType);
          } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
               Debug.trace(e.toString());
     public Transferable createTransferable(JComponent jC) {
          Transferable t = null;
          try {
               t = new ObjectTransferable(((Dragable) jC).getCompClass());
          } catch (Exception e) {
               Debug.trace(e.toString());
          return t;
     public int getSourceActions(JComponent c) {
          return DnDConstants.ACTION_MOVE;
     public boolean canImport(JComponent comp, DataFlavor[] flavors) {
          if (!(comp instanceof Dragable) && flavors[0].equals(df))
               return true;
          return false;
     public boolean importData(JComponent comp, Transferable t) {
          JComponent c = null;
          try {
               c = (JComponent) t.getTransferData(df);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               Debug.trace(e.toString());
          comp.add(c);
          comp.validate();
          return true;
public class ObjectTransferable implements Transferable {
     private static DataFlavor df = null;
     private Class objectClass;
     ObjectTransferable(Class objectClass) {
          try {
               df = new DataFlavor(DataFlavor.javaJVMLocalObjectMimeType);
          } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
               System.out.println("ObjectTransferable: " + e);
          this.objectClass = objectClass;
      * @see java.awt.datatransfer.Transferable#getTransferDataFlavors()
     public DataFlavor[] getTransferDataFlavors() {
          return new DataFlavor[] { df };
      * @see java.awt.datatransfer.Transferable#isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor)
     public boolean isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor testDF) {
          return testDF.equals(df);
      * @see java.awt.datatransfer.Transferable#getTransferData(DataFlavor)
     public Object getTransferData(DataFlavor arg0)
          throws UnsupportedFlavorException, IOException {
          return ObjectFactory.instantiate(objectClass);
}And of course the test class:public class DragAndDropTest extends JFrame
     JPanel leftPanel = new JPanel();
     JPanel rightPanel = new JPanel();
     Container contentPane = getContentPane();
     Dragable dragableJLabel;
     Dragable dragableJButton;
     Dragable dragableJTextField;
     Dragable dragableJTextArea;
      * Constructor DragAndDropTest.
      * @param title
     public DragAndDropTest(String title)
          super(title);
          dragableJLabel = new Dragable(JLabel.class);
          dragableJButton = new Dragable(JButton.class);
          dragableJTextField = new Dragable(JTextField.class);
          dragableJTextArea = new Dragable(JTextArea.class);
          leftPanel.setBorder(new EtchedBorder());
          BoxLayout boxLay = new BoxLayout(leftPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS);
          leftPanel.setLayout(boxLay);
          leftPanel.add(dragableJLabel);
          leftPanel.add(dragableJButton);
          leftPanel.add(dragableJTextField);
          leftPanel.add(dragableJTextArea);
          rightPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500,500));
          rightPanel.setBorder(new EtchedBorder());
          rightPanel.setTransferHandler(new ObjectTransferHandler());
          contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          contentPane.add(leftPanel, "West");
          contentPane.add(rightPanel, "Center");
     public static void main(String[] args)
          JFrame frame = new DragAndDropTest("Drag and Drop Test");
          frame.pack();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.setVisible(true);
}I wrote this code some time ago, so it won't be perfect but hopefully will give you some good ideas.

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")
Thank You,

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

Need help in alignment a form

Hello,
I am new in writing HTML code. I need help to align my Form
and it's text.
Please view my code and please show me how to align all the
square boxes (the square box is where the user type the text
input). Currently I have 2 boxes but they are not aligned. The
below is my code:
<FORM name="input" method="get" >
PROJECTROOT: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT SIZE=50 NAME=proj_root>
<br>
FRONTEND: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT SIZE=50 NAME=frontend>
<br>>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=Submit onclick="save()">
<BR>
</FORM>
Would you please help.
Thank you very much
Goober35

<form name="input" method="get" action=""> 
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"
width="300">
<tr>
<td><label for="proj_root">PROJECTROOT:
</label></td>
<td><input type="text" size="50" name="proj_root"
id="proj_root"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="frontend">FRONTEND:
</label></td>
<td><input type="text" size="50" name="frontend"
id="frontend"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit"
name="submit"
id="submit" value="Submit" onclick="save()"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
(your form needs an action attribute value)

Need help with trim and null function

Hi all,
I need help with a query. I use the trim function to get the first three characters of a string. How do I write my query so if a null value occurs in combination with my trim to say 'Null' in my results?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. What am I doing wrong?
SELECT trim(SUBSTR(AL1.user_data_text,1,3)),NVL
(AL1.user_data_text,'XX')
FROM Table
I want the XX to appear in the same column as the
trim.The main thing you're doing wrong is not formatting your code. The solution may become obvious if you do.
What you're saying is:
SELECT trim ( SUBSTR (AL1.user_data_text, 1, 3))
,       NVL ( AL1.user_data_text, 'XX' )
FROM    Tablewhich makes it clear that you're SELECTing two columns, when you only want to have one.
If you want that column to be exactly like the first column you're currently SELECTing, except that when that column is NULL you want it to be 'XX', then you have to apply NVL to that column, like this:
SELECT NVL ( trim ( SUBSTR (AL1.user_data_text, 1, 3))
            , 'XX'
FROM    Table
