I'm having a difficult time getting the hyperlink to work in a JEditorPane. Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I want to be able to click on the link and the browser to open to that page. Thanks in advance. :D
bottomText.setText("<a href=\"http://www.yahoo.com\">Yahoo</a>");
bottomText.setEditable(false);
bottomText.setOpaque(false);
bottomText.setEditorKit(JEditorPane.createEditorKitForContentType("text/html"));
bottomText.addHyperlinkListener(new HyperlinkListener() {
public void hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent e) {
if(e.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED) {
}
if(Desktop.isDesktopSupported()) {
try {
Desktop.getDesktop().browse(e.getURL().toURI());
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (URISyntaxException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
});
Wow, that was simpler then I though :P
// Move this
//bottomText.setText("<a href=\"http://www.yahoo.com\">Yahoo</a>");
bottomText.setEditable(false);
bottomText.setOpaque(false);
bottomText.setEditorKit(JEditorPane.createEditorKitForContentType("text/html"))
// To Here
bottomText.setText("<a href=\"http://www.yahoo.com\">Yahoo</a>");
Oh, and wait till the user has clicked the link before opening the browser, had about 4 windows going before I killed your example ;)
UPDATE with Click
You were almost there ;)
bottomText.addHyperlinkListener(new HyperlinkListener() {
public void hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent e) {
if (e.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED) {
if (Desktop.isDesktopSupported()) {
try {
Desktop.getDesktop().browse(e.getURL().toURI());
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (URISyntaxException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
});
