Handling Mouse Events

Handling Mouse Events
Java program that demonstrates mouse events using MouseListener. In this example, we’ll display the mouse coordinates when the user clicks anywhere in the frame.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class MouseEventsExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Frame frame = new Frame("Mouse Events Example");
        frame.setSize(400, 400);
        frame.setLayout(null);

        Label statusLabel = new Label("Click anywhere...");
        statusLabel.setBounds(150, 180, 150, 20);
        frame.add(statusLabel);

        // Add a MouseListener
        frame.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
                int x = e.getX();
                int y = e.getY();
                statusLabel.setText("Clicked at (" + x + ", " + y + ")");
            }
        });
   // Add a WindowListener to close the program
      frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
                        @Override
       public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                System.exit(0); // Exit the program
               }
            });

        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

Explanation

  1. Creating the Custom JPanel (MouseEventDemo):

    • The MouseEventDemo class extends JPanel and overrides the paintComponent method to perform custom drawing.
    • It contains variables to store the last mouse coordinates and the type of mouse event.

  2. Handling Mouse Events:

    • A MouseAdapter is used to handle mouse events. This adapter is an abstract class that implements MouseListener and MouseMotionListener, providing default implementations for all methods.
    • The mouseClicked, mouseMoved, and mouseDragged methods are overridden to update the event type and coordinates, and call repaint to update the display.

  3. Drawing the Event Information:

    • The paintComponent method is overridden to draw the string that describes the last mouse event and its coordinates.

  4. Creating and Showing the GUI:

    • The createAndShowGUI method sets up the JFrame, adds the custom JPanel, and makes the frame visible.
    • The main method uses SwingUtilities.invokeLater to ensure the GUI creation and updates are handled on the Event Dispatch Thread.

This program creates a window that displays the type of mouse event (click, move, drag) and the coordinates where the event occurred. You can run this code to see how mouse events are handled in Java Swing.

This Java Swing program below demonstrates handling mouse events. Specifically, it changes the background color of the panel when the mouse is pressed and updates the mouse coordinates when the mouse is moved.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;

public class MouseEventDemo extends JPanel {

    private int mouseX = 0;
    private int mouseY = 0;
    private Color backgroundColor = Color.WHITE;

    public MouseEventDemo() {
        MouseAdapter mouseAdapter = new MouseAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
                // Change the background color when the mouse is pressed
                backgroundColor = new Color(
                    (int) (Math.random() * 255),
                    (int) (Math.random() * 255),
                    (int) (Math.random() * 255)
                );
                repaint();
            }

            @Override
            public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
                // Update mouse coordinates when the mouse is moved
                mouseX = e.getX();
                mouseY = e.getY();
                repaint();
            }
        };

        addMouseListener(mouseAdapter);
        addMouseMotionListener(mouseAdapter);
    }

    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        setBackground(backgroundColor);

        g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
        g.drawString("Mouse Coordinates: (" + mouseX + ", " + mouseY + ")", 10, 20);
    }

    private static void createAndShowGUI() {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Mouse Event Demo");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setSize(400, 300);
        frame.add(new MouseEventDemo());
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(MouseEventDemo::createAndShowGUI);
    }
}

Explanation

  1. Creating the Custom JPanel (MouseEventDemo):

    • MouseEventDemo extends JPanel and initializes the mouse coordinates and background color.
    • The MouseAdapter class is used to handle mouse events such as mousePressed and mouseMoved.

  2. Handling Mouse Events:

    • mousePressed(MouseEvent e): Changes the background color to a random color whenever the mouse is pressed.
    • mouseMoved(MouseEvent e): Updates the coordinates of the mouse as it moves.

  3. Drawing the Panel:

    • The paintComponent method is overridden to set the background color and draw the mouse coordinates on the panel.
    • setBackground(backgroundColor) sets the background color of the panel.
    • g.drawString("Mouse Coordinates: (" + mouseX + ", " + mouseY + ")", 10, 20) draws the mouse coordinates on the panel.

  4. Creating and Showing the GUI:

    • The createAndShowGUI method sets up the JFrame, adds the MouseEventDemo panel, and makes the frame visible.
    • The main method uses SwingUtilities.invokeLater to ensure the GUI creation and updates are handled on the Event Dispatch Thread.

This program demonstrates how to handle basic mouse events in Java Swing, such as detecting mouse clicks to change the background color and tracking mouse movement to display the coordinates.

Reading and Writing Text Files

Handling text files in Java involves performing operations like reading from, writing to, and appending to files. Here are some common techniques and examples for handling text files in Java: FileReader and BufferedReader are classes in Java used for reading text from files. Here’s a detailed explanation of each: FileReader FileReader is a class in Java that is used to read character files. It is a convenient class for reading text files using the default character encoding of the operating system. Key Points: Purpose : To read text files. Inheritance : It extends InputStreamReader , which in turn extends Reader . Encoding : Uses the default character encoding of the operating system unless specified otherwise. Basic Usage : Suitable for simple file reading tasks. Example: create a text file "example.txt" using any text editor and then run this program.In this example, FileReader reads the file character by character. import java.io.FileReader; import java.io.IOException; ...
