URL: newbie needs help with simple programming question!

Hi everyone,
Please direct me to a FAQ or other resource, or help me with this problem:
I want to create a text field (or similar container) that contains both ordinary text AND a URL/hyperlink in it. For example, the following text might appear in the text field:
"I have many _pictures_ from my vacation"
where the word "pictures" is actually a hyperlink to a web site, and the other portions of the string are simple text.
All advice and help is appreciated!

Well here is one way you code do it but if you do alittle research on them links above it will explain how this code works.Well it will explain how jeditorpane and hyperlinklistener work
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.net.*;
public class b extends javax.swing.JApplet implements HyperlinkListener  {
   JEditorPane field = new JEditorPane();
  public b() {
    Container pane = getContentPane();
    FlowLayout flo = new FlowLayout();
    pane.setLayout(flo);
    field.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 25));
    field.setEditable(false);
    pane.add(field);
    setContentPane(pane);
     String gg1 = "<html><body>I have many_<a    href='http://www.home.com'>pictures</a>_from my vacation</body></html>";
     field.addHyperlinkListener(this);
     field.setContentType("text/html");
     field.setText(gg1);
  public void hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent e) {
     if (e.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED) {
      try{
        URL url = new URL("http://www.msn.com");
        getAppletContext().showDocument(url,"_self"); 
        }catch(Exception r) {};
  public void init()  {
     b c = new b();

  • Hi need help with simple program

    Hi, i am new to java, how to make the program return back to first line when input is more then 10? I do not know how to describe my problem therefore i can't google for solution. thank you in advance.

    The usual approach is to use a do-while loop:Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
    int inputQuestionNum;
    do {
        System.out.println ("Input Number of Question: ");
        inputQuestionNum = Integer.parseInt (input.nextLine ());
        if (inputQuestionNum >= 10) {
            System.out.println ("Error: Please try again");
        } else {
                System.out.println ("ok");
        } while (inputQuestionNum >= 10);Ask if that's not clear.

  • Need help with simple program

    I believe that I have everything right except when I get down to the else I want it to return to the while loop. Is there a better way of doing this because it doesn't work for me. Here is the program:
    public class ABCInput
         public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
              char response;
              System.out.println("Please type a A,B,C to receive a message or a Q to quit");
              response = (char)System.in.read();System.in.read();System.in.read();
              while(response == 'A' || response == 'B' || response == 'C')
                   System.out.println("\"Good Job\"\n\n");
                   System.out.println("Please type a A,B,C to receive a message or a Q to quit");
                   response = (char)System.in.read();System.in.read();System.in.read();

    Read the HT5312 page that you posted from, it has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Need Help with simple array program!

    Hi, I have just recently started how to use arrays[] in Java and I'm a bit confused and need help designing a program.
    What this program does, it reads in a range of letters specified by the user. The user then enters the letters (a, b or c) and stores these characters into an array, which the array's length is equal to the input range the user would enter at the start of the program. The program is then meant to find how many times (a,b and c) appears in the array and the Index it first appears at, then prints these results.
    Here is my Code for the program, hopefully this would make sense of what my program is suppose to do.

    }     Some errors i get with my program are:
    When reading in the letters to store into the array, I get the last letter I entered placed into the entire array. Also I believe my code to find the Index is incorrect.
    Example Testing: How many letters would you like to read? 3
    Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): a
    Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): b
    Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): c
    It prints "There are no a's'" (there should be 1 a at index 0)
    "There are no b's" (there should be 1 b at index 1)
    and "There are 3 c's, first appearing at index 0" ( there should be 1 c at index 2)
    The last thing is that my code for when the user enters "#" that the input of letters would stop and the program would then continue over to the counting and searching part for the letters, my I believe is correct but I get the same problem as stated above where the program takes the character "#" and stores it into the entire array.
    Example Testing:How many letters would you like to read? 3
    Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): a
    Enter letter (a, b or c) (# to quit): #
    It prints "There are no a's'" (should have been 1 a at index 0)
    "There are no b's"
    and "There are no c's"
    Can someone please help me??? or does anyone have a program simular to this they have done and would'nt mind showing me how it works?
    Thanks
    lou87.

    Without thinking too much...something like this
    for(int start = 0; start < size; start++) {
                System.out.println("Please enter a letter (a, b or c) ("+size+" max), enter # to stop:");
                input = Keybd.in.readChar();
                while((input != 'a') && (input != 'b') && (input != 'c') && (input != '#')) {
                    Screen.out.println("Invalid Input");
                    System.out.println("Please enter a letter (a, b or c) ("+size+" max, enter # to stop:");
                    input = Keybd.in.readChar();
                if(input == '#') {
                        break;
                letter[start] = input;
            }you dont even need to do start = size; coz with the break you go out of the for loop.

  • Need Help With Simple ABAP Code

    Hello,
    I'm loading data from a DSO (ZDTBMAJ) to an Infocube (ZCBRAD06). I need help with ABAP code to some of the logic in Start Routine. DSO has 2 fields: ZOCTDLINX & ZOCBRDMAJ.
    1. Need to populate ZOCPRODCD & ZOCREFNUM fields in Infocube:
        Logic:-
        Lookup /BI0/PMATERIAL, if /BIC/ZOCBRDMAJ = /BIC/OIZOCBRDMAJ
        then /BIC/ZOCPRODCD = ZOCPRODCD in Infocube
               /BIC/ZOCREFNUM = ZOCREFNUM in Infocube         
    2. Need to populate 0G_CWWTER field in Infocube:
        Logic:
        Lookup /BIC/PZOCTDLINX, if /BIC/ZOCTDLINX = BIC/OIZOCTDLINX
        then G_CWWTER = 0G_CWWTER in Infocube.
    I would need to read single row at a time.
    Thanks!

    I resolved it.

  • Help with simple programming

    Hello everyone.
    First time posting, i hope someone would be able to help me out. There are 5 classes that i have to do, but i only need help with one of them. I've been stuck on this one pretty long and can't continue without it.
    Instructions:
    •     Has boolean data member face, either HEADS or TAILS.
    •     Has a Random data member flipper which is instantiated in the constructor.
    •     Class constructor has no parameters and randomly chooses the result HEADS or TAILS. (See method flip())
    •     Method getFace() returns the face showing on the coin.
    •     void method flip() randomly selects HEADS or TAILS.
    package coinflip;
    import java.util.Random;
    * @author Blank
    public class Coin {
        boolean face = false;
        int flip_coin;
        Random flipper = new Random();
        int getFace() {
            return flip_coin;
          Coin() {
            if (flip_coin == 0) {
                face = true;
            } else {
                face = false;
        public void flip() {
            flip_coin = flipper.nextInt(2);
    }i really don't know why the random isn't working. I hope someone would be able to find my errors and instruct me on how to fix them. I would be able to continue the rest of the classes as soon as i got this figured out.
    Oh and can someone teach me how to import this class into a main one? So i can test it out. This is what i have for it.public class Main {
         * @param args the command line arguments
        public static void main(String[] args) {
         Coin flipCoin = new Coin();
         for(int i=0;i<6;i++){
         System.out.println(flipCoin.getFace());
    }Many Thanks!

    Constructors are only executed once. What im confused about is:
    • Class constructor has no parameters and randomly chooses the result HEADS or TAILS. (See method flip())
    I thought i would flip() into the constructor. Mind helping me out on the whole class because it seems i am clueless about this whole class.
    Edit:
    public class Coin {
        boolean face = false;
        int flip_coin;
        Random flipper = new Random();
        int getFace() {
            flip();
            return flip_coin;
        Coin() {
           //flip();
        public void flip() {
            flip_coin = flipper.nextInt(2);
    }K i reread what you wrote about the constructor and method. So i placed flip() method in getFace(); because its being called in the main(it gives me random numbers). The problem now is following the directions.
    I just dont understand this description. • Class constructor has no parameters and randomly chooses the result HEADS or TAILS. (See method flip())
    What do you think it means.

  • Need Help with Simple Chat Program

    Hello Guys,
    I'm fairly new to Java and I have a quick question regarding a simple chat program in java. My problem is that I have a simple chat program that runs from its own JFrame etc. Most of you are probably familiar with the code below, i got it from one of my java books. In any case, what I'm attempting to do is integrate this chat pane into a gui that i have created. I attempted to call an instace of the Client class from my gui program so that I can use the textfield and textarea contained in my app, but it will not allow me to do it. Would I need to integrate this code into the code for my Gui class. I have a simple program that contains chat and a game. The code for the Client is listed below.

    Thanks for ur help!i have moved BufferedReader outside the loop. I dont think i am getting exception as i can c the output once.What i am trying to do is repeat the process which i m getting once.What my method does is first one sends the packet to multicasting group (UDP) and other method receives the packets and prints.

  • I need help with simple problems. im a student.

    i'd like to be advanced with my studies so i will post questions.. i need help on how to answer. thank you.
    1. create a java program that will evaluate if the value entered is a positive, negative, vowel, consonant and special characters.
    im actually done with the positive and negative using if else statements.. i used an integer data type. now my question is how do conjoin the characters when i need to evaluate a vowel and a consonant. i cant use char either. please help. i dont know what to do yet.
    2. create java program that will translate the input from numbers to words. e.g. input:123 output: one hundred twenty-three.

    Welcome to the Sun forums. First, please note that you have posted in the wrong forum. This forum is for topics related to Sun's JavaHelp product. You should post your questions in the New to Java forum.
    As part of your learning, you will have to develop the ability to select an approach to a problem, create a design that reflects that approach, and then implement the design with code that you create.
    So, it's inappropriate for us to take the problem statement that you have been given and short-circuit your learning process by giving you the implemented problem solution. We can comment on the individual questions that you may have, and point out problems and errors that we see in the code that you develop.
    As a hint, when you are stuck, forget about Java and programming. Just start with a sheet of paper and a pencil, and figure out how to layout the task on paper. The consider how to translate that to programming.
    If you have problems, post short example code that shows the problem, and explain your question clearly. We can't read minds.
    Make sure you post code correctly so that it's not mangled by the forum software, and so that formatting is maintained. Select your typed or pasted code block and press the CODE button above the typing area.

  • Newbie needs help with browser compatibility

    Ok, so I'm new at this, so this may be something really
    simple, but browser compatibility? I made a site in DW;html and it
    shows up perfect in safari but internet explorer and firefox not so
    much. I did a browser compatibility test in DW and it says nothing
    is wrong with my pages, but obviously something must be!!
    On my home page, the image of a house that I have next to the
    company name shows up fine in safari but not any other browsers.
    And my page layout, everything is moved over funny in other
    browsers. Also there are link boxes around the table I created with
    different brands of products. On safari the boxes do not show, but
    all the other browsers it does!! I'm new at this and frustrated!!!
    Need help!!
    The link is holmeshifi.com and I posted code from the home
    page!

    OK thanks Ned sorry to soo dumb I'm on a learning curve here!  what 
    I'm trying to do is go to the URLs of web galleries of images from my 
    main site
    so I would presumably have to rename them on my server? i.e. does that 
    mean adding the code ", "_blank");
    to the files on the server?
    At the moment I have to use the back button on my browser window which
    takes me back to the main site which then has to reload (tediously!)

  • Beginner needs help with simple code.

    I just statrted learnind java, and I need some help with this simple program. For some reason everytime I enter my Farenheit value, the Celsius conversion returns as 0.0. Would really appreciate the help. Thanks.
    Here's the code:
    public class TempConverter
    public static void main(String[] args)
    double F = Double.parseDouble(args[0]);
    System.out.println("Temperature in Farenheit is: " + F);
    double C = 5 / 9;
    C *= (F - 32);
    System.out.println("Temperature in Celsius is: " + C);
    }

    double C = 5 / 9This considers "5" and "9" to be integers and does an integer division, discarding the remainder. The result of that division is 0. Trydouble C = 5.0/9.0;

  • Newbie needs help with Flex app

    Hi there. I am very new to Flex and also fairly new to
    programming although I do have a little experience.
    I am trying to create an app which stores code snippets or
    common text I tend to use every day in my documents and emails.
    So basically I need help on a design level. I can refer to
    the developer's manual for exact instructions for commands, but I
    need to know what to code first.
    The app will consist of:
    -a tree directory structure where I can create groups.
    -There will be a basic text editor where I input all my data,
    basic text formatting options (font, bullets etc) would be a bonus.
    -A search function
    -Finally it will ideally allow multiple client apps write to
    a central database file over a network
    Can anyone suggest how I should approach such a project?
    Or are there any tutorials / source files which demonstrate
    each bullet point?
    thanks.

    Hey jono,
    I'm new too. But I think I might know the right components.
    If you google any of these + flex 3 you should get some
    decent documentation
    tree - advanced dataGrid component
    basic text editor - rich text editor component
    search function - well, you're gonna need to read up on
    arrays, and arraycollection. Once you get that stuff working, you
    can write up a function to search for a string in an array.
    network functionality - HTTPService, you can dump the
    datagrid into a database, and have it load the database when you
    open up the application.
    Give these things a shot, tutorials / sources will come with
    the google searches.

  • Need help with inventory program!!! someone please help me!!!

    Ok I have to write this inventory program for one of my classes.
    For part one i needed to Create a product class that holds the item number, the name of product, the number of units in stock, and the price of each unit.
    Then create a java application that displays all of the above info plus the total value of the inventory. I have done this so far with success.
    For part two i needed to modify the program so the application can handle multiple items. Use an array to store the items. The output should display the information one product at a time including the item number, the name of the product, the number of units in stock, the price per unit, and the value of the inventory of that product. In addition, the output should display the value of the entire inventory.
    so create a method to calculate the value of the entire inventory.(i did this)
    and create another method to sort the array items by the name of the product. ( i did this)
    The program compiles and runs fine except it is not doing anything from part two. It just does the same thing that it did when i wrote part one.
    Does anyone know why or what i need to do to my code.
    Here is my code.
    import java.util.Scanner; // program uses class Scanner
    import java.util.Arrays;

    You will get more help if your code is formatted better:
    * Only post code that is already formatted correctly including indentations.
    * Get rid of all those comments cluttering up your code.
    * Make sure your posted code compiles without need for any changes. Yours doesn't at present. Where is the ProductInfo class?
    Again, you want it easy for a volunteer here to read your post, otherwise he/she simply won't do it. Good luck.

  • Need help with basic program.....!

    I've to write a program that generates a random number, which the user has to try and guess, after each guess they're told whether it's too high or too low etc., I've gotten this far, however, the user has only 10 guesses.... In my program I've used a while loop and the user gets an infinite number of guesses, I know I'm supposed to use a for loop, but can't seem to get it to work properly. Also, when the user guesses the number, the program then has to print out how many guesses it took, and I have no idea how to get it to do this AT ALL!!! I'd really appreciate some help with this, thanks v. much!!!!

    help with this, thanks v. much!!!!Hey not every book covers every aspect of Java (if you haven't got a book and don't want to buy 1 i recommend an online tutorial) If u want the user to have an infinate number of guesses, use an infinate while loop. Put this in a file called app.java:
    import java.applet.Applet;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class app extends Applet implements ActionListener
         JLabel lbl=new JLabel("Guess a number between 0 and 10:");
         JTextField txtfield=new JTextField(20);
         JButton button=new JButton("Guess...");
         JLabel lbl2=new JLabel();
         int randomnumber=Math.round((float)Math.random()*10);
         public void init()
              add(lbl);
              add(txtfield);
              add(button);
              button.addActionListener(this);
         public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
              String s=new String("");
              s+=randomnumber;
              if (e.getSource().equals(button) && txtfield.getText().equals(s))
                   setBackground(Color.white);
                   setForeground(Color.black);
                   lbl2.setText("Got it!");
                   add(lbl2);
                   validate();
              else
                   setBackground(Color.white);
                   setForeground(Color.black);
                   if (Integer.parseInt(txtfield.getText())>randomnumber)
                   lbl2.setText("Too High!");
                   else
                   lbl2.setText("Too Low!");
                   add(lbl2);
                   validate();
    Then create a HTML document in the classes folder:
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>APPLET</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <HR>
    <CENTER>
    <APPLET
         CODE=app.class
         WIDTH=400
         HEIGHT=200 >
    </APPLET>
    </CENTER>
    <HR>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    It will do what you wish. If you want to have more then 10 numbers to guess, for example 100, do this:
    int randomnumber=Math.round((float)Math.random()*100);
    Does that answer your question?
