Question

Java Program

Write a program that uses multiple layout managers, buttons, labels, and text areas. It should have an appropriate title on the title bar.

You will have 5 buttons, one for each vowel and when the button is pressed it will display the text of the button in the area below.   ONLY 1 ACTION LISTENER IS ALLOWED in the program.

It should look similar to the program below:

Make sure all functionality is there.

  Have it spaced and lined up as shown above including margins.

Program Checklist

-Has 5 buttons, each labeled with a vowel

-Has a text field that displays letter of button pressed.

-Has one action listener that can handle all 5 buttons.

-It is laid out as shown in the sample, has margins around the fields.

You can look at the sample tic tac toe program below to help you with this one

/**************************************************************
*
*
* This program implements the game of tic-tac-toe.
* When the first blank button is clicked, its label changes
* to an X. Subsequent clicked blank buttons change their labels
* to O and X in alternating sequence.
**************************************************************/

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

public class TicTacToe extends JFrame
{
private boolean xTurn = true; // keeps track of whether
// it's X's turn or O's turn

//***********************************************************

public TicTacToe()
{
setTitle("Tic-Tac-Toe");
setSize(200, 220);
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
createContents();
setVisible(true);
} // end TicTacToe constructor

//***********************************************************

// Create components and add to window.

private void createContents()
{
JButton button; // re-instantiate this button and use
// to fill entire board
setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 0));
for (int i=0; i<3; i++)
{
for (int j=0; j<3; j++)
{
button = new JButton();
button.addActionListener(new Listener());
add(button);
} // end for j
} // end for i
} // end createContents

//***********************************************************

// If user clicks a button, change its label to "X" or "O".

private class Listener implements ActionListener
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
JButton btn = (JButton) e.getSource();
if (btn.getText().isEmpty())
{
btn.setText(xTurn ? "X" : "O");
xTurn = !xTurn;
}
} // end actionPerformed
} // end class Listener

//***********************************************************
} // end class TicTacToe

public static void main(String[] args)

{

new TicTacToe();

}

Please send me a fully working program. Kinda on a time crunch here. The sample program/code is just something that may help. The Tic Tac Toe program has one action listener as is required of this program

Explanation / Answer

If you get error uses or overrides a deprecated API.

Please run using command

javac -d Vowel.java

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Vowel extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
//declaring buttons
JButton b1,b2,b3,b4,b5;
//declaring textField
JTextField vowel;
//declaring Label
JLabel labe;
//constructor of class
Vowel(){
//giving proper title to J frame  
super("Buy a Vowel");
//creating
b1=new JButton("a");
b2=new JButton("e");
b3=new JButton("i");
b4=new JButton("0");
b5=new JButton("u");

vowel=new JTextField("");
labe=new JLabel("labe");
//setting position
b1.setBounds(10,30,50,40);
b2.setBounds(60,30,50,40);
b3.setBounds(110,30,50,40);
b4.setBounds(10,70,50,40);
b5.setBounds(60,70,50,40);

labe.setBounds(70,120,100,40);
vowel.setBounds(70,150,90,20);

//setting text of label and clearing border
labe.setText("you bought:");
labe.setBorder(null);
//adding in frame
add(b1);add(b2);add(b3);add(b4);add(b5);add(labe);add(vowel);
//applying action listner
b1.addActionListener(this);
b2.addActionListener(this);
b3.addActionListener(this);
b4.addActionListener(this);
b5.addActionListener(this);

//setting text color inside textfield
vowel.setForeground(Color.green);

setSize(250,300);
setLayout(null);
setVisible(true);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}//end of constuctor
//action listner handling 5 buttons
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){

//check which button is pressed and set textField value
if(e.getSource()==b1){
String s=b1.getLabel();
vowel.setText(s);

}//end of if
if(e.getSource()==b3){
String s=b3.getLabel();
vowel.setText(s);
}//end of if
if(e.getSource()==b2){
String s=b2.getLabel();
vowel.setText(s);
}//end of if
if(e.getSource()==b4){
String s=b4.getLabel();
vowel.setText(s);
}//end of if
if(e.getSource()==b5){
String s=b5.getLabel();
vowel.setText(s);
}//end of if

}//end of actionPerformed
public static void main(String[] args){
//calling constrructor of class   
new Vowel();
}//end of main
}//end of class
