Troubles with Swing (repainting/revalidating)

ok this is a newbie question I will admit...
I have a JLabel that shows the String.valueOf() an integer.
I have a JButton that changes the value of the integer displayed by the JLabel.
(I do know this much works as I watched the button's action listener to the display via System.out.println().)
I want the label to update the integer display every time the button is pressed.
I tried putting a repaint() call in the button's Action Listener. Nothing happened.
I tried insantiating my own RepaintManager(), added the button to the markCompletelyDirty() list, and called paintDirtyRegions() on the button. Nothing happened.
What am I doing wrong?
Theory or implementation?
Is there an easier way to get a "real time" display of my integer?
help and/or guidence would be greatly appreciated...
I learned JAVA out of many books (mostly O'Reilly and Wrox) but they aren't really helping at the moment.

Having the label display the integer doesn't mean the label will update the value of the integer once its changed. This is because a copy of the integer has been passed to the label. No amounts of repaints will work.
To update the label you need to explicitly call the setText() method of the Label. Therefore, inside your button's ActionListener, add label.setText(...) after you update the integer.

Troubles with Swing Timers

I am trying to learn how to use javax.swing.timer. I'm simply trying to update a JLabel on an interval. The code I have looks like this:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
class GUI extends JFrame implements ActionListener
Timer clock;
JLabel label;
int numberFrames;
GUI()
     clock = new Timer(25, this);
     JLabel label = new JLabel("0");
     getContentPane().add(label, BorderLayout.NORTH);
     numberFrames = 0;
     clock.setInitialDelay(0);
     clock.setCoalesce(true);
     clock.start();
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
     numberFrames++;
     label.setText("" + numberFrames);
public class Timed
public static void main(String argv[])
     GUI window = new GUI();
     window.setSize(100,100);
     window.setVisible(true);
Unfortuantely, the ActionPerformed executes only once and throws a NullPointerException whenever it tries to update the label. I also looked at Java's site for learning how to use Swing Timers, but I didn't understand what they were doing when they put in multiple actionListeners.
Please Help.

The problem is with variable scoping:
GUI()
clock = new Timer(25, this);
JLabel label = new JLabel("0"); <<<<<<<<<<<<<DONT DECLARE A JLABEL HERE
getContentPane().add(label, BorderLayout.NORTH);
numberFrames = 0;
clock.setInitialDelay(0);
clock.setCoalesce(true);
clock.start();
The JLabel declaration in the constructor means the 'real' JLabel never get initialised, hence the NullPointerException

Resolution problems with Swing, MigLayout, and Substance.

I've got some testers trying out my application on various systems. One computer is a Dell Mini and it is giving me some trouble with resolution. I am using MigLayout as the layout manager for every JPanel and for everything. I am also using Substance L & F. I thought this would be all I need to do to keep my application resolution independent. It appears that I have too many rows. The extra rows are getting cut off.
I''ve edited my code and posted the relavent part of my code in the following post.

I have had trouble with scrollbars using netbeans 5.5.1

I have had trouble getting a vertical and horizontal scrollbar working in my GUI. I am new to programming but I have books but I find them difficult to follow because they follow the old netbeans GUI models that requires all of the code to be written for example the scrollbar has to be created and then the parameters have to be set. However with the 5.5.1 the scrollbar has already been created and the parameters of the maximum the minimum and the event have already been set.
Therefore when you follow the books they explain the whole process rather than the last part which is all that is needed. I have selected the scrollbar and then pressed the right mouse button to get the menu up where I selected Events and then Adjustments, which then displayed the following script,
" private void jScrollBar1AdjustmentValueChanged(java.awt.event.AdjustmentEvent evt) {
// TODO add your handling code here:"
I know that I have to delete the //TODO add your handling code here and then insert the event handling code. I have tried to put in a lot of different event handler codes to try to get it to work but I have had no luck. Can anybody help. I have asked a few people but they have had trouble with it too.

Please can somebody provide me with a scirpt example.
I would really appreciate it.This was not made in Netbeans but it shows you how to use scrollpanes with a viewportview and listeners.

Can I build a GUI application with SWING only without [import java.awt.*;]

I have seen several threads (in forums), books and tutorials about SWING and I see that they all mix SWING with AWT (I mean they import both Swing and AWT in their code).
The conclusion that comes out is:
It is good to learn about SWING and forget AWT as it won't be supported later. I have decided to do so, and I never include <<import java.awt.*;>> in my code.
But I see that you cannot do much without <<import java.awt.*;>>. For example this line which changes the background color:
<<frame.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.red)>>
works only with <<import java.awt.*;>>. I have seen that codes in this and other forums import awt to change the background. Why is that?
After all, I wonder, what can I do;
My question is, can I change the background (and of course do all other things listener, buttons etc) without using <<import java.awt.*;>>.
I would like to avoid using <<import java.awt.*;>> and using awt since my program will not work later.
In addition, I believe there is no point to learn awt, which later will not exist.
I know, I must have misunderstood something. I would appreceate it very much, if anyone could give me even a short answer.
Thank you in advance,
JMelsi

Since swing is a layer on top of awt, AWT will exist for as long as swing does.
If sun does ever remove AWT they will have to replace it something else swing can layer on to and you will probably only have to replace your import statements.
The main difference is the way there drawn to the screen.
You can do custom drawing on swing components but you can't on AWT.
If your using a desktop PC system it's probably best to use swing just in case you wish to do some custom drawing.
awt uses less memory than swing and is faster but swing can be extended. awt comes only as standard.
Say for example you wish to implement a JButton with a ProgressBar below the button text, this can be done with swing!

I have been having a lot of trouble with the latest itunes update and my ipod classic 80Gb i.e. being unable to sync songs, but now i have no files at all on my ipod, it is completely blank when i view it from my computer. I need help, please, anybody.

As it says above, i have been having a lot f trouble with my ipod classic and the latest itunes update, i was unable to sync songs or anything to it and have tried every conceivable 'fix' i could find. i have run an itunes diagnostic and the results are posted below. a major problem is that when i try and view my ipod through my computer it displays nothing at all on the ipod, no files or anything, this may be the problem but i have no idea how it has happened or how i could resolve it.
This ipod holds huge sentimental value and i am loathe to buy a new one! If anybody can help it is greatly appreciated, than kyou in advanced.

Searching on the web, most results I found lead to this page, where it is said that the problem is due to badly tuned overcurrent protection, and advocated that unplugging and switching off the computer for a little while gets things back into normal. This does not really work for me; the problem seems to occur more randomly, unfortunately with high probability (my camera is available after less than one boot out of ten).
I tried to ensure that the ehci-hcd module is loaded at boot with the ignore-oc option (with a file in /etc/module-load.d/), to no avail.
I also wrote a script which alternatively removes and reloads the ehci-pci driver until my device is found in lsusb. It is sometimes helpful, but usually not. And even when my device is found that way, it can only be used for a while before disappearing again.
Anyway, such a hack is unacceptable... So, my questions are:
is it indeed related to overcurrent protection ?
is there anything else I can try ?
should I file somewhere an other of the numerous bug reports about "unable to enumerate USB device" already existing ?
If of any importance, I am running linux 3.15.7, because at the time I installed my system, I couldn't get the hybrid graphic card Intel/AMD working under 3.16.

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

Trouble with OR in where clause

Hello,
I'm having trouble with execution speed. The problem seems to be with using OR in my where clause.
Here's the meat of the function where i_pledge_number is an input parm:
BEGIN
SELECT /*+ INDEX (pp) */ SUM(pp.prim_pledge_amount)
INTO return_amount
FROM
primary_pledge pp
WHERE
-- Get total if multiple allocations
pp.prim_pledge_number IN
(SELECT pc.pledge_number
FROM pledge_codes pc
WHERE pc.pledge_code_type = 'M'
AND pc.pledge_code = 'AC'
AND lpad(pc.pledge_comment,10,'0') = i_pledge_number)
-- Get total if single allocation
OR pp.prim_pledge_number = i_pledge_number;
RETURN return_amount;
END;
If I comment out either half of the OR statement (either the subquery or the pp.prim_pledge_number = i_pledge_number half) the function returns a value in .02 seconds. If I leave the OR in, it takes 2.764 seconds to execute?? Can someone please show me a better way (faster) to do this? I tried using nvl() around the subquery but couldn't get it to compile.
Thanks

These things are difficult to diagnose remotely, but here is something you can try....
SELECT */ SUM(pp.prim_pledge_amount)
INTO return_amount
FROM   primary_pledge pp
WHERE pp.prim_pledge_number IN (SELECT pc.pledge_number
                                 FROM pledge_codes pc
                                 WHERE pc.pledge_code_type = 'M'
                                 AND pc.pledge_code = 'AC'
                                 AND lpad(pc.pledge_comment,10,'0') = i_pledge_number
UNION ALL
SELECT i_pledge_number FROM dual)
   RETURN return_amount;
END;If that doesn't do anything (and it might well not) there are a large number of different ways we can recast this query. To save us further guessing please give us more details: execution plans, database version number, volumetrics.

A trouble with "LIKE" in a select statement

Hi!
I'm having trouble with "LIKE" in a select statement...
With Access I can make the following and everything works well:
SELECT name, birthday
FROM client
WHERE birthday LIKE '*/02/*';
but if try to do it in my application (it uses Access), it doesn't work - I just can't understand that!!!
In my application the "month" is always the currently month taken from the "System". Look what I'm doing...
String query1 = "SELECT name, birthday " +
          "FROM client " +
          "WHERE birthday " +
          "LIKE '*/" +
          pMonth +
          "/*' " +
          "ORDER BY birthday ASC ";
ResultSet rs = statement1.executeQuery(consulta1);
boolean moreRecords = rs.next();
The variable "moreRecords" is always "false", the query returns nothing although the table "client" has records that attend the query.
Please, anyone can help me?! It's a little bit urgent.
Thanks,
Katia.

Hi Katia,
I'll bet the problem lies with the characters you're using to escape the LIKE clause. You're using the ones that Access likes to see, but that's not necessarily what's built into the JDBC-ODBC driver class.
You can find out what the correct escape wildcard characters are from the java.sql.DatabaseMetaData.getSearchStringEscape() method. It'll tell you what to use in the LIKE clause.
I'm not 100% sure about your code. It doesn't use query1 anywhere. I'd do this:
String query = "SELECT name, birthday FROM client WHERE birthday LIKE ? ORDER BY birthday ASC";
PreparedStatement statement = connection.createStatement(query);
String escape = connection.getMetaData().getSearchStringEscape();
String test = escape + '/' + pMonth + '/' + escape;
statement.setString(1, test);
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery();
while (rs.hasNext())
// load your data into a data structure to pass back.
rs.close();
statement.close();Let me know if that works. - MOD

(Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
Let me know if you know why this is happening.

With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
Something you can try:
System Preferences -> Network
Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
Select *Set Service Order...*
Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

Edge Animation having troubles with iOS devices within Muse Site

Hi All! I've been creating a mobile version of my website www.rinkdesigns.com and have it all complete. I created an animation/navigation bar within Adobe Edge Animate and imported it into Muse. It functions AMAZINGLY on my Nexus 4 (Android) in Chrome but on a buddies iPhone 5 Chrome only loads about 3/4 of the animation/nav bar, in Safari the animation does not load at all and half of the page background does not load either. Please check out the preview site here http://rinkdesignsmobile.businesscatalyst.com/phone
Has anyone else been having animation/mobile troubles with iOS devices? Any hints as to how you fixed your errors would be extremely helpful! I also posted this question in the Muse forum and haven't gotten a response...
Thanks,
John

Or, how about this:
Does anyone know how to have Edge Animate objects that utilize "_top" in an open url trigger make the Muse site that they are a part of open a new window/tab with that action (as opposed to having it open the url in the current page, or using "_blank" in the trigger)?

Trouble with 3rd party VST installs for Garageband, can't find instruments

Hi,
I am having trouble with Audio Units for Garageband when installing 3rd party software, VSTs, loops, instruments. I have more issues with Logic Pro. I am hoping that it is the same underlying issue and that I am just missing something. I have the manuals (not great for troubleshooting). I am confused with some installs use User Library and others use the Computer Library. I do go to the mfgs sites for updates. The installs sometimes work as standalones but I don't see ALL of the components of the software in say Garageband or Logic. Mostly, I am missing the "instruments" and "loops" that I want to access within the DAW. Some examples:
• Here is some of the software I am talking about: East West sample libraries (Play and Native Instruments); Vienna Symphonic librarires; Sylenth1 (just last night); Sample Tank 2 and Total Workstation 2 from IK Multimedia and others.
• In GB I see the Audio Units for Vienna, Play, Sylenth, some of the IK Multimedia but NOT any instruments when I go to the "Sound Generator" -- I seem to be missing the instruments and loops. I see less AUs in Logic Pro. Some of these are VST instruments.
• Can I just drag-drop samples to the library folders to fix this?
• The plug-ins do not seem to work (though Sylenth1 worked for a single sound). When there is a standalone app (as in Sample Tank), I finally got the "sounds" to be reinstalled and loaded, those sounds/samples don't show up in any DAW.
• When and if the sounds/loops/samples show up in GB's "Instruments" section will I be able to tell that they belong to that particular software or library?
Thanks in advance.
John

Found the answer myself, it was simple:
• Select the Track
• Show the Instrument (info area)
• Click on Edit
• Click on the "Sound Generator" pop up field.
• At the bottom of the pop-up list, select from the Audio Units that you have installed. This is where you see "Sample Tank 2, Vienna Instruments..."
• NEXT -- IMPORTANT: CLICK ON THE PICTURE next to the Sound Generator pop-up field.The AU unit loads up, the interface pops up, you load up the instruments in this AU Unit. You do NOT see the sounds from the AU unit in the normal Apple instrument list.
This was not intuitive but once you know it, fairly simple.
Still, the devil is in the details -- more questions on the way.
