I am making a calculator to test my skills in java. How can make the numbers to show up in the jTextfield until i pressed one button to calculate the numbers; i want every numbers to show up in the textfield. for example if i pressed 1 and zero i want the textfield to have 10.
int num;
JTextField in = new JTextField(20); // input field where numbers will up;
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (e.getSource() == bouttons.get(0)) {
num = 0;
in.setText("" + num);
}
if (e.getSource() == bouttons.get(1)) {
int num = 1;
in.setText("" + num);
}
}
To save yourself the hassle of a lot of if-else
you can create an array of JButton
s and go over them in a loop.
So button 0 will be at index 0.
Then, you can append the text to the JTextField
as:
String alreadyDisplayed = in.getText(); //get the existing text
String toDisplay = alreadyDisplayed + Integer.toString(loopCounter);// append the position to the text
in.setText(toDisplay);// display the text
You can loop as follows:
for(int i=0;i<jbuttonArray.length;i++){
if(e.getSource()==jbuttonArray[i]){
//insert above code here;
}
}
