It is the simple counter gui program in these program by pressing right arrow counter is incremented by 1 but the problem is whenever i run the program then pressing the right arrow the counter is not increment by 1 but by pressing the right arrow the cursor in textfield shifts from left to right why this happens ?
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
public class CounterDemo implements KeyListener
{
JTextField jtf;
JButton jb,jb1;
int i=0;
public CounterDemo ()
{
JFrame jf = new JFrame();
jf.setBounds(100,100,400,400);
jf.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
jf.setLayout(null);
jtf = new JTextField("0");
jtf.setBounds(60,10,50,20);
jf.add(jtf);
JButton jb = new JButton("next");
JButton jb1 = new JButton("prev");
jb.setBounds(10,35,75,20);
jb1.setBounds(90,35,75,20);
jf.add(jb);
jf.add(jb1);
jb.addKeyListener(this);
jb1.addKeyListener(this);
jf.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
new CounterDemo();
}
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent ke)
{
if(ke.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT)
{
i++;
jtf.setText(" "+i);
}
else if (ke.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT)
{
i--;
jtf.setText(" "+i);
}
}
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent ke)
{
}
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent ke)
{
}
}
Add jtf.setFocusable(false)
so that the text field is not in focus initially.
Edit: As Abra said, this would make the text field never be in focus. An alternative solution is to do something like jb.grabFocus()
, for the button to get focus instead of the text field.
