JTextArea DocumentListener Issue


Validation of jTextAreaName

The following Code creates some jTextAreaName with GridBagconstraints. My issues is that I try to validate text in jTextAreaName with a DocumentListener. However it validates just the last jTextAreaName. Not all of them (see the pic above). I think it depends on the GridBagConstraints. But I don´t know how I could solve this issue.

Do you have any hints what should I Change?

Thanks in advance.

public class GridPanel extends JPanel {

private String[] COLUMNS = {"Name", "Frame 1", "Frame 2", "Frame 3", "Frame 4", "Frame 5",
        "Frame 6", "Frame 7", "Frame 8", "Frame 9", "Frame 10", "Total Sum"};

private JTextArea jTextAreaName;
public JTextArea jTextAreaTotalSum;
private JLabel labelName;
private JLabel labelFrame;
private JLabel labelSum;
private static String pattern = "[A-Za-z]*";
public static List<JTextArea> jTextAreas = new ArrayList<>();

public GridPanel(int numPlayers) {
    setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    createGrid(numPlayers);
}


public void createGrid(int numPlayers) {

    setLayout(new GridBagLayout());

    for (int y = 1; y <= numPlayers; y++) {

        createHeader();

        jTextAreaName = new JTextArea(2, 8);
        jTextAreaName.setEditable(true);
        addDocumentListener(jTextAreaName);

        add(jTextAreaName, GridBag.constraints(0, y, 1, 1));

        for (int i = 1; i <= 9; i++) {
            add(new BowlingFramePanel(2), GridBag.constraints(i, y, 1, 1));
        }
        add(new BowlingFramePanel(3), GridBag.constraints(10, y, 1, 1));

        jTextAreaTotalSum = new JTextArea(2, 8);
        jTextAreaTotalSum.setEditable(false);

        add(jTextAreaTotalSum, GridBag.constraints(11, y, 1, 1));
    }

}

private void addDocumentListener(JTextArea jTextArea) {
    jTextArea.getDocument().addDocumentListener(new DocumentListener() {
        @Override
        public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
            validateInputName();
        }

        @Override
        public void removeUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
            validateInputName();
        }

        @Override
        public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
            validateInputName();
        }
    });
}

private void validateInputName() {

    jTextAreas.add(jTextAreaName);

    for (JTextArea jTextArea : jTextAreas) {

        String text = jTextArea.getText();
        Pattern r = Pattern.compile(pattern);
        Matcher m = r.matcher(text);

        if (m.matches()) {
            jTextArea.setBackground(Color.GREEN);
            ifTextAreaIsEmptySetBackgroundColorWhite(jTextArea, text);
        } else {
            jTextArea.setBackground(Color.RED);
            ifTextAreaIsEmptySetBackgroundColorWhite(jTextArea, text);
        }
    }
}

private void ifTextAreaIsEmptySetBackgroundColorWhite(JTextArea jTextArea, String text) {
    if (text.isEmpty()) {
        jTextArea.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
    }
}

private void createHeader() {
    labelName = new JLabel(COLUMNS[0]);
    labelName.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLACK, 1));

    add(labelName, GridBag.constraints(0, 0, 1, 1));

    for (int x = 1; x <= 10; x++) {

        labelFrame = new JLabel(" " + "Frame " + Integer.toString(x));
        labelFrame.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLACK, 1));

        add(labelFrame, GridBag.constraints(x, 0, 1, 1));
    }

    labelSum = new JLabel(" " + COLUMNS[11]);
    labelSum.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLACK, 1));
    add(labelSum, GridBag.constraints(11, 0, 1, 1));


}}

Solution

  • I think you should add the JTexteAreas directly to the List after creating them. Not in the DocumentListener:

    public class GridPanel extends JPanel {
    
    private String[] COLUMNS = {"Name", "Frame 1", "Frame 2", "Frame 3", "Frame 4", "Frame 5",
            "Frame 6", "Frame 7", "Frame 8", "Frame 9", "Frame 10", "Total Sum"};
    
    private JTextArea jTextAreaName;
    public JTextArea jTextAreaTotalSum;
    private JLabel labelName;
    private JLabel labelFrame;
    private JLabel labelSum;
    private static String pattern = "[A-Za-z]*";
    public static List<JTextArea> jTextAreas = new ArrayList<>();
    
    public GridPanel(int numPlayers) {
        setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        createGrid(numPlayers);
    }
    
    
    public void createGrid(int numPlayers) {
    
        setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
    
        for (int y = 1; y <= numPlayers; y++) {
    
            createHeader();
    
            jTextAreaName = new JTextArea(2, 8);
            jTextAreaName.setEditable(true);
            addDocumentListener(jTextAreaName);
    
            add(jTextAreaName, GridBag.constraints(0, y, 1, 1));
    
            for (int i = 1; i <= 9; i++) {
                add(new BowlingFramePanel(2), GridBag.constraints(i, y, 1, 1));
            }
            add(new BowlingFramePanel(3), GridBag.constraints(10, y, 1, 1));
    
            jTextAreaTotalSum = new JTextArea(2, 8);
            jTextAreaTotalSum.setEditable(false);
    
            add(jTextAreaTotalSum, GridBag.constraints(11, y, 1, 1));
            jTextAreas.add(jTextAreaName);
        }
    
    }
    
    private void addDocumentListener(JTextArea jTextArea) {
        jTextArea.getDocument().addDocumentListener(new DocumentListener() {
            @Override
            public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
                validateInputName();
            }
    
            @Override
            public void removeUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
                validateInputName();
            }
    
            @Override
            public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
                validateInputName();
            }
        });
    }
    
    private void validateInputName() {
        for (JTextArea jTextArea : jTextAreas) {
    
            String text = jTextArea.getText();
            Pattern r = Pattern.compile(pattern);
            Matcher m = r.matcher(text);
    
            if (m.matches()) {
                jTextArea.setBackground(Color.GREEN);
                ifTextAreaIsEmptySetBackgroundColorWhite(jTextArea, text);
            } else {
                jTextArea.setBackground(Color.RED);
                ifTextAreaIsEmptySetBackgroundColorWhite(jTextArea, text);
            }
        }
    }
    
    private void ifTextAreaIsEmptySetBackgroundColorWhite(JTextArea jTextArea, String text) {
        if (text.isEmpty()) {
            jTextArea.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
        }
    }
    
    private void createHeader() {
        labelName = new JLabel(COLUMNS[0]);
        labelName.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLACK, 1));
    
        add(labelName, GridBag.constraints(0, 0, 1, 1));
    
        for (int x = 1; x <= 10; x++) {
    
            labelFrame = new JLabel(" " + "Frame " + Integer.toString(x));
            labelFrame.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLACK, 1));
    
            add(labelFrame, GridBag.constraints(x, 0, 1, 1));
        }
    
        labelSum = new JLabel(" " + COLUMNS[11]);
        labelSum.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLACK, 1));
        add(labelSum, GridBag.constraints(11, 0, 1, 1));
    
    
    }}
