Thread: Case Study JSMileFace and JSmileFace2

This was asked:
a. Write an application that extends JFrame and that displays a yellow smiling face on
the screen. Save the file as JSmileFace.java.
b. Add a JButton to the JSmileFace program so the smile changes to a frown when
the user clicks the JButton. Save the file as JSmileFace2.java.
and my code for JSmileFace

// JSmileFace.java
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
 
public class JSmileFace{
  public static void main(String[] args) {
  JSmileFace j = new JSmileFace();
  }
 
  public JSmileFace(){
  JFrame frame = new JFrame("JSmileFace");
  frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
  frame.getContentPane().add(new MyComponent());
  frame.setSize(400,400);
  frame.setVisible(true);  
  }
 
  public class MyComponent extends JComponent{
  public void paint(Graphics g){
 
  g.setColor(Color.yellow);
  g.drawOval(100, 50, 200, 200);
  g.setColor(Color.yellow);
  g.fillOval(100,50,200,200);
 
  g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
  g.fillOval(155, 100, 10, 20);
  g.fillOval(230, 100, 10, 20);
 
 
 
  g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
  g.drawArc(150, 160, 100, 50, 180, 180);
  }}
  }
public static void main(String[] args)
{
}

Now, my problem is the JSmileFace2 I have no idea on how I would start with it.
I need advice, ideas on how I will solve this problem and tips also where I need to learn about this that
can be applied also out here.

Thank you

Well first things first JSmileFace2 extends jsmile.

If you wrote the first application, the one you posted, it's difficult to understand how can say you don't know where to start with the second. You use the first as a start for the second. Since that is obvious, I'm thinking you didn't state your question very well. What exactly is your question? What do you need help with?

And here's a tutorial on using JButtons and Event Listeners.

err. well I think I just realized what to start like extending . but next to that I still wasn't sure.
well this is my code. for second

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.*;
 
public abstract class JSmileFace2 extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
  JButton click=new JButton("Click here");
 
 
 
 
public JSmileFace2(){
Container con=getContentPane();
con.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
con.add(click);
 click.addActionListener(this);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setSize(400,400);
 
}
 
  public void paint(Graphics g){
 
  g.setColor(Color.yellow);
  g.drawOval(100, 50, 200, 200);
  g.setColor(Color.yellow);
  g.fillOval(100,50,200,200);
 
  g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
  g.fillOval(155, 100, 10, 20);
  g.fillOval(230, 100, 10, 20);
 
 
 
  g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
  g.drawArc(150, 160, 100, 50, 180, 180);
  }
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
  {
      Graphics pen=getGraphics();
 
      pen.setColor(Color.BLACK);
      pen.drawLine(40, 40, 40, 40);
 
 
  }
 
public static void main(String[]args){
JSmileFace2 frame=new JSmileFace2() {};
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
{
}

what I'm confuse is -_- uh
1.) no frown is appearing
2.)the button only shows when my mouse is drag to its location
3.)well I didn't really extend the JSmileFace
4.)when I tried adding the repaint method on the actionperformed what happens is the button overlaps the smiley
so my question is what's wrong with my code? what did I lack on this? and where is the frown?

thank you for the link and sorry for confusing you.

Are you getting any errors?

Why is JSmileFace2 an abstract class? Why not concrete?

Overriding the paint() method of JFrame is not the correct way to accomplish what you're trying to do, ever. Instead, add a JPanel to the JFrame and draw on the JPanel by overriding the JPanel's paintComponent() method. You can learn more about drawing/painting in Java by reading the Custom Painting tutorial.

It runs but had no frown.

--- Update ---

yea your right overriding didn't solve it -_- I just want it to run. well I know its still wrong cause I'm not sure.
ok I'll be learning it first. Thank you so much sir.
