Hi all.


need help with this code i wrote. it executes but not like i want it too. A folder is suppost install on the desktop before it ask the user to log in, but in my case its not installing it till after. The other promblem is once the user logs in the folder on the desktop should open, displaying the contents in the folder, but thats not happening. can any one tell me what im doing wrong and show me how to correct it. I have been working this issue for the last two day with no luck.

i tried having the file created before before the doMyAction is performed, but it gives tons of errors.

Hope someone can help

try{
   f = new File("path");
  scan = new Scanner(f);
}
catch(Exception e){
   System.out.println("Exception");
   System.exit(0);
}

  





JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You May Not Enter", "NOT GOOD", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE); //display incorrect password message

}


}

Its happening because you put it under actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) which is going to wait for an event to happen before it executes any of the code. You should create another method that does the creation of the Directory and call it in Main. See below:

public static void createDir(){
	File data = new File("<directory>");
	data.mkdir();
	try {
		FileWriter d = new FileWriter(data);
	} catch (IOException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
	File f = null;
	Scanner scan = null;
	try{
		f = new File("path");
		scan = new Scanner(f);
	}
	catch(Exception e){
		System.out.println("Exception");
		System.exit(0);
}
}

public static void doAuthentication() {
		if (user.getText().equals ("Solris") &&
				password.getText().equals ("hi123"))  {
				JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "You may enter");
				}
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You May Not Enter", "NOT GOOD", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE); //display incorrect password message
}

So as you can see above I made the doAuthentication which is what you call in your ActionEvent and you can call the createDir in your main which will create the directory as soon as the application is launched

Also for the directory opening after authentication you can use the link provided below to help you write that code. It's pretty straight forward and easy.

Hey Jpete,





Thx for ur relpy to my issue. I tried using the example you gave to open the file, but it isnt working, it won't open the file. what else can i do?

File f = null;
	Scanner scan = null;
	try{
		f = new File("path");
		scan = new Scanner(f);
	}
	catch(Exception e){
		System.out.println("Exception");
		System.exit(0);
}

What errors are you getting? You need to be specific if you expect us to help you.

What are you trying to open? You are looking for a file called "path". You actually need to put a path in there to the file you are wanting to open or create a file called "path" in your current working directory. Your exception probably says unable to find file.

f = new File("path");
