Help. My compiler is giving me strange errors.

Posted 17 November 2010 - 08:25 PM

I'm doing a project for school... and I think I've just about got it hammered out.

Here's the assignment the teacher gave us:

"Problem 6.13 page 371 Design and implement an application that helps displays a numeric keypad that might appear on a phone. Above the keypad buttons, show a label that displays the numbers as they are picked. To the right of the keypad buttons, include another button to clear the display. Use a border layout to manage the overall presentation, and a grid layout to manage the keypad buttons. Put a border around the keypad buttons to group them visually and a border around the display. "

Here's my code so far:

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;

private class KeyPadPanel extends JFrame implements ActionListener
{

	public KeyPadPanel()
	
	{
	
   JFrame window = new JFrame();
	window.setBorder (BorderFactory.createLineBorder (Color.black, 2));
	
	JButton b1 = new JButton ("1");
	JButton b2 = new JButton ("2");
	JButton b3 = new JButton ("3");
	JButton b4 = new JButton ("4");
	JButton b5 = new JButton ("5");
	JButton b6 = new JButton ("6");
	JButton b7 = new JButton ("7");
	JButton b8 = new JButton ("8");
	JButton b9 = new JButton ("9");
	JButton bPound = new JButton ("#");
	JButton b0 = new JButton ("0");
	JButton bStar = new JButton ("*");
	JButton bClear = new JButton("Clear");
	
	//-------------------------------------
	// The errors that say "tf.*" can't be
	// found...  
	//-------------------------------------
	JTextField tf = new JTextField(20);
	

	
	   window.setSize(300,300);
		window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		window.setLayout(new BorderLayout ());
		
		JPanel KeyPadPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(4,3));
	   KeyPadPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder (Color.black, 2));
		
		b1.addActionListener (new ButtonListener1());
		b2.addActionListener (new ButtonListener2());

		bPound.addActionListener (new ButtonListenerPound());
		b0.addActionListener (new ButtonListener0());
		bStar.addActionListener (new ButtonListenerStar());
		
      KeyPadPanel.add (b1);
		KeyPadPanel.add (b2);

		KeyPadPanel.add (b8);
		KeyPadPanel.add (b9);
		KeyPadPanel.add (bPound);

		KeyPadPanel.add (bStar);
		
	   JPanel Clear = new JPanel();
		bClear.addActionListener(new ButtonListenerClear);
		Clear.add(bClear);
		
		JPanel display = new JPanel();
		JLabel tfbground = new JLabel();
		display.add(tfbground);
		tfbground.add(tf);
		window.add(display, BorderLayout.NORTH);
		window.add(KeyPadPanel, BorderLayout.WEST);
		window.add(Clear, BorderLayout.EAST);
		
	}

These are the errors I'm getting:

KeyPadPanel.java:88: cannot find symbol
symbol : class ActionListener
location: class KeyPadPanel
private class ButtonListener1 implements ActionListener
^

KeyPadPanel.java:93: cannot find symbol
symbol : class ActionEvent
location: class KeyPadPanel.ButtonListener1
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event)
^

KeyPadPanel.java:44: addActionListener(java.awt.event.ActionListener) in javax.swing.AbstractButton cannot be applied to (KeyPadPanel.ButtonListener1)
b1.addActionListener (new ButtonListener1());
^
(All of my button listeners are giving me the above three errors, just with the variable name changed.)

KeyPadPanel.java:13: cannot find symbol
symbol : method setBorder(javax.swing.border.Border)
location: class javax.swing.JFrame
window.setBorder (BorderFactory.createLineBorder (Color.black, 2));
^
(This one is by itself.)

KeyPadPanel.java:71: cannot find symbol
symbol : class ButtonListenerClear
location: class KeyPadPanel
bClear.addActionListener(new ButtonListenerClear());
^
(As is this one.)

KeyPadPanel.java:96: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable tf
location: class KeyPadPanel.ButtonListener1
String tfText1 = tf.getText() + ("1");
^

(This error is popping up every time I use my tf variable outside of when I created it.)




I'm sorry if I should have posted all of my errors instead of not including multiple instances of the same error but on a different variable, but there were over 60 with all the different buttons and all. I didn't want to overload the post.


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jess

You have to

import java.awt.event.*;

to have both the ActionListener and the ActionEvent defined
